Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This CZcams channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.
Thanks for watching! Facebook & Instagram live fans, leave a comment and I'll pick a winner to recieve a box of 12 balls LA Golf Balls! Good luck
I'm ready to try some out, Rick! 🙏🏻🤞🏻
I’ll take a box off your hand mate 😂
Love the content Rick!
nice balls!
great video! very surprised by the review! 🎉🎉
Very impressive. Love the simplicity of the packaging. Can’t wait to find one in the woods. Can’t pay that $$ for balls!!!
Just get a tee time after mine - on a good day I leave one wooded. on a bad day..........
@@lasnide1252 You didn't play in San Diego, did you? I found one last Saturday. Haven't hit it yet. Looks brand new, though. :)
Time to look through my stash for an LA Golf ball
More impressive than the new LA Golf Ball is Rick's ability to casually walk along scooping up balls with his wedge. 🤘😎
the real challenge is if you can do it with an 8 iron.
@@genxray951the real challenge is making 2 hole in ones on a par 4 like Matt
@genxray951 can you?
I may have to consider these LA balls to be the ultimate game improvement ball. At almost $6/ball, I would be *very* motivated to keep my drives in the fairway and my irons on the green.
That`s a vey good point, i do the same in winter when conditions are not as good.. if i dont find the fairway or go out of bounds..the ball is gone :) it really does help you focus more. my no1 ball is still and will be for a long time is the TP5 PIX :) i cant get enough of them for all round playing....esp putting :)
It's golf and you can't
Holy crap, the first time a new ball actually lives up to it's claims and with quite a margin!
2% more carry with wider dispersion. Not sure that's 'quite a margin'.
@@theythinkimmadyouknow I mean it won in everything can't really say it hasn't lived up to the claims also can depend on how you hit the drive urself not necessarily the golf balls fault
Its not the ball. Rick failed to show the attack angle for the driver difference. Simple as that
@@benjamintracy6149really? You think he's changing his angle of attack to make one ball look better than another? The problem with that, the ball speeds were the same. If the dynamic launch was changing, the ball speeds would not be the same with the same swing speed.
@@Cash_Welch Hang on, you cant say its not the balls fault if you are praising it for performing in other areas. The only area it had any real gain in (factoring in the standard deviations shown) was with the driver in that it gained 8 yards but Rick mentioned the deviation pattern was wider. In everything else it was pretty much the same. I cant see that as a significant margin of improvement and $2.50 a yard more with less accuracy doesn't seem like value for money. Save the extra $20 from a few boxes and have a lesson which will probably give you the same gain in distance without losing accuracy. That said, if you believe it will make you better and want to spend the money that's entirely your choice, however there are so many cheaper options that perform as well as PV1's that the LA Ball seems out of step with the direction of travel in the market place.
Loving these types of tests. I would love to see a massive ball “tournament” where you tests balls of similar price ranges against each other, so those of us who are mid or low market people can see which ones we might want.
mygolfspy does this and way more scientific at that.....every ball test where he is just hitting balls with an inconsistent swing and strike is useless for you
Plus my golf spy separates ball tests by swing speed with driver and irons making it easier to review the results and see which ball would work best for you. Plus the use of a robot takes the human element out of the test with more consistent results.
@@billsinclair313 @maxpfundner2226 only prob with MGS is sometimes its better to see a human perform the test. Also MGS might not be as impartial as they used to be.
Mygolfspy
You can't test golf balls indoors because Foresight uses an algorithm for flight path and applies that to the spin and trajectory numbers. To the extent the dimple pattern or design effects the flight it won't be shown. The only way to test is Trackman or Flightscope outdoors tracking actual flight.
I never thought the day would come when Rick found a ball better in performance than the ProV1. And he's living up to his job doing the review and giving us the honest data. Now, are they $70 a dozen better? For the average golfer like me, no. I have a hard enough time coughing up $45 - $50 for ProV's. Thank you Rick!
They’re $65 right now. Or buy two and they work out to $58.50/dozen. For 10 extra yards? Oh yeah! I think the average 12 handicap or better would drop $500-700 on a new driver tomorrow if they consistently hit it 10 yards further. In an expensive game like golf, $0.70 more per ball is nothing. With that said, will I do it? Maybe!
Another great review, Rick! I really admire that I always feel I can trust that you’re being honest and not blowing smoke whenever you review golf equipment, so thank you for that.
Don't think I'd ever buy a $70/dozen ball, but always a treat to watch you test all manner of golf gear.
yeah only recommended for good golfers
I had to convince myself to jump up to the $25/dozen balls, and it was a hard sell.
Rick you're the best thing to happen to CZcams and golf! Thank you for being endlessly entertaining!
Check out the duck hook on the screen right before the shot at 9:15 loooool
Wow! Great video! I always love it when you pick brands I have not heard of before and test their products out! Looking forward to the next break 75 episode.
Honestly as much as I love your play videos, your product reviews are always a ton of fun and informative. Keep up the great work, Ricky!
So impressive to see the difference between those and the Pro V1s. Love your review videos.
Im glad for the studio, as winter approaches, i find myself watching your videos even more when im jones'ing for golf
I put down the clubs 20 years ago and then 6 months ago saw your videos. Rekindled my enjoyment of golf. I appreciate the entertaining videos. Thanks for your efforts from Kentucky ,US.
Why would you test this ball versus the pro V one you said yourself this golf ball is a four piece construction. Surely the test would’ve been better with a pro V1 X
I wonder how they stack up against the Prov1x left dash. Would love to try these out!
On LA Golf website left dash was 2 yards shorter than the Prov1x.
@@motty147 which isn't true at all
Straight from IG! Love your channel Rick! Keep inspiring🙏🏼
These types of videos are why I started watching you!! I love the hit channel
I love seeing extensive reviews of products that most of us aren't even aware exist!
Wow I am shocked to see how well these played! Probably one of the only balls to do as they claim
Love the break 75 series but a close second are these reviews. Really detailed and full of northern honesty, toptastic.
Coming from Instagram Live, watching from Dublin, Ireland!
Love it Rick
Can't wait to start finding some of these out in the woods so I can test them. 😁
Epic
Another awesome video! Love ALL the “test” videos. You are always the number one topic for me and my Sunday golf group to talk about when we play here in Chicago. And…your golf content keeps me sane during the winter here!!
Loving the videos guys! Ball enthusiasts and tinkerer 😂
Loving your return to reviewing item more! Great video, good insights!
Really well edited! Nice video!!!
Only got my clubs 3 weeks ago not done a golf course yet only range and your CZcams is putting me right. Great channel Rick 💪🏻
Finally! Been waiting for you to cut a golf ball in half for quite some time. Nice thick cover on these as well.
Very thorough and honest as always. 😊
love the instagram lives, we need more of this!! great video as always 👍
Fun video of getting down to the nitty gritty of golf balls making a difference. Keep It up buddy
Thanks for the review Rick. Loved the podcast talking about golf being affordable but it is always nice to some of the "nicer" things of the sport.
Love it all Rick. Keep it up!! I use Wilson Staff 302 balls because I can’t afford much more, would love to see these at my front door!!
Amateur golfer 4 month in currently shooting 98. Don’t think I’m ready for these just yet but I strive to be.
Thanks for doing all these videos. YOU’RE AWESOME!!
Look at the tracer from his previous shot @9:15 hahaha. happens to the best of us
I look forward to finding them in the bush at the local club ;-) also love the way you pick up balls with your wedge Rick - I'm a work in progress on that
Very interesting watch Rick, really enjoyed that! Interesting to see if you keep these in the bag going forward as I know you said on the podcast you used them for the break 75
Impressive numbers, especially to get less spin off driver, but more off the irons! Look forward to finding some in the trees :-)
Love learning about new golf gear!
Like the sound of these. Love your podcast’s and videos learned so much!
Love this testing and the H.I.T testing
Keep ‘em coming, Rick.
Hi Rick! I love watching your videos, your my inspiration for the future when Im older to be one 9f the best CZcams golfers in the world.i watched your Instagram live!!
Great video. Enjoy watching the reviews. Keep them coming
Loving the content again across all the other channels as well
We should get a Rick Shiels vs Tom Holland video! That would be epic!
Interesting to see brands expanding into different golf markets would love to give these a test on the course and how much they differ from the pro v1. Good content as usual Rick 👍
Love these videos Rick! Keep churning out great videos and please send me those golf balls! Haha
Ricks beard game is on point right now!
These videos are so good!!
Sheils is the GOAT!!
Love the product reviews, glad they’re still on the main channel too!
Even though I live in LA, I had never heard of these. Would definitely like to try them out. Great review, Rick!
I think I read or saw somewhere that the LAGolf ball is more comparable to a Pro V1x. Probably making it up just like thinking I can actually play golf as well. Cheers!
Always love the review videos. like your enthusiams for the packaging whenever you test something. it does matter!
Here because of the IG stream. Was hoping someone would do a review of these bad boys. Thanks Rick!
These balls are crazy! Love the review Rick!
I’m surprised at the lack of natural bias toward the pro v1s. Ricks been a titleist player for nearly his whole career, no one would blame him for being even slightly bias, the transparency in this review is very impressive. Thanks Rick.
LIKE BUTTON for Rick to do another hole in one challenge . He’s on fire lately !!!!
Your testing comments are truly fair to both product, audience and yourself.
Great video Rick, love “test” videos
Thanks for the review. Shocking! Keep up the good work
Always great to see Rickie Shiels review equipment, made sooo many purchases based off your reviews!🔥👍🏼
Also, those blacked out golf shoes look great!!
Nice video once again from ricky! Keep doing the awesome work buddy!💪
Great review and testing video once again, Rick. Nice one!
I could do with as much help as possible to get more consistency (and a little distance) into my game.
Keep the great content coming!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
"My chipping can be somewhat subjective". Love that you own it.
Love your videos Rick!! I usually just use the balls I find in the bushes, lol.
Very interesting, great review would love to see you do a review on the Seed balls in comparison to the Pro V1 aswell!
Good stuff Rick, love the ball reviews
I can honestly say that I enjoy your product reviews; most importantly your complete honesty on the products slightly intrigues my interest! Keep up the great work Rick!
I’ve been playing Titleist ProV1 golf balls exclusively for the past few years and have been looking to try a possible change. Cheers Rick, you’re the goat!
Enjoying your reviews and would love try these new balls.
Great review again rick 👍maybe test both balls with driver on the course as you normally do as elements may play a part in it
Nice video, could you make a video with the LA golf balle against the Pro V1X left dash? would be interesting to see the difference in numbers between them aswell
friend of mine bought some of these over from the states and let me have a try with one. I thought they were so so similar to the Wilson Staff Model balls I use, similar 4 piece, spinny, durable and especially lush for distance control with irons
Keep the testing up man! I love it! Keep doing your thing!
need more HIT reviews!!!!!!!
Commenting for the box of balls. Great content and helpful review.
These are the type of tests I subscribe to the channel for
Thanks for the video. Very informative
Great tests!! Could definately see me play them in Sweden!
Thank you for posting your fantastic videos!
Tuning in from Arkansas. Love the videos Rick.
Love the Content Rick, you help me get through my working days with your content!!!
Could see myself losing these easily 😂😂
Rick love your content. Watching you from Italy. Keep spreading your passion for golg
For once the BOLD CLAIMS held up!!! Cool video Rick
For the average golfer 8 yards short on a drive just means going up a club on the second shot. £20 saved. As a senior at my local course, that's another round of golf. great to watch as always though. 😀
What an absolute legend you are rick shields
Nice test Rick. Give me them balls! 😂😂
Great video, Rick. Thanks for making it.
Look forward to trying these in a few months once I find a couple in the long stuff!
Well done as always Rick!!
Think the trees at my course would love some of these balls Rick!
Glad the cutters came out. Great that there's a ball to challenge the Pro V1 but to get a share of the market they've simply for to be cheaper.
Keep up the great testing!
Rick! I love how out bring the truth. Thank you for getting me into playing, and let me get those golf balls.
