2.55M > 66k 😂
Was this filmed before or after your recent chipping lesson?
That’s what got me into golf when I didn’t even care about golf lol
Lol at this point feel there’s more chance of catching crabs from a w~~k 😂😂😂
Can’t wait!
Rick, you really need a “control” club alongside these videos. Take the same 5 full swings with a Vokey and see if they are going the distance you expect
But he knows how much he hits with his usual clubs no need to do it for the video.
@@mrfatuchi But us people watching don't. It would be very interesting to see the difference. Could even used a coloured ball for the control club.
@@Majerly_Annoyed He said how much he hits. No point demonstrating it.
@@mrfatuchi 56 people and counting disagree with you.
@@mrfatuchi sure just upload a 30sec video and say the wedges are good, why even make the whole thing? 🤦🤦 Of course he should have a control club, you need a reference as to why a more expensive club is better or not
Love these "off brand" reviews. For my golf, I'll NEVER be paying over $100 for a single wedge. So seeing reviews from guys like you on clubs I can actually afford is great. Keep doing this please!!
I put a full set together recently for a little less than 500 USD, got all my wedges together from FB marketplace for $90. Just used Kirkland wedges, and they feel incredible, I've been enjoying them very much
Exactly, I had not touched a club in 15 years until I found a set of Calloway irons at a yard sale for $20. That took me to the range and then started looking for a driver, putter, and Sand or Lob wedge. I’ve come across these brands while looking on Amazon and am glad to see a decent review instead of the typical paid response.
This was definitely shot before the short game lesson lol. Can't wait to see the new and improved break 75 after the lessons
My thoughts exactly😂 he's definitely driving the club towards the ball
You would assume so. If not, he’s taken nothing out of it lol
That was the first thing I looked for, lol. Can see it at 6:20, old chip swing for sure. His swing was more like his lesson after this though so I'm not sure.
Follow through on the bunker shots was exactly what the lesson told him to do, though. Almost putting the grip in his pocket. His follow through was also not at 0 like before, but nearer to 2.
100% after the lessons. Look at the 60deg shots.
They also make irons, woods and even a driver! Would love a review on those
I needed a 8 iron, and I bought one and I love it.
100% I have friends looking for cheap sets trying to get into the sport.
I bought a 7 wood a few weeks back and all I can say is it should have been in my bag all along.
Actually just recently got these wedges for myself. I’m a high handicap player and I knew about the finish in advance thanks to Matt Fryer! So I got the Crome finished set and I’ve been loving them. Might not cut it on tour, but around the local club they are nice!
I also have them, in black, and they play extremely nice in my book. The paint wears off but the little grooves don’t so it purely cosmetic. I’m about a 15 and see no reason to upgrade from these anytime soon!
@@theyogov2 playing off a 7 and can confirm, the clubs are impressive. Especially at the price point. Played mine for about a season and a half and they're still going strong. Even redid the entire bag over the winter. Wedges remained. No need to waste money on an upgrade I don't need.
Clean with dish soap and water. When dry, spray wd40 or gun oil on rag and oil them. Just don't dunk them in the water high enough to come up to the collar where the head meets the shaft. If that collar leaks, the club will rust from the inside out.
This will make the cheap clubs last forever.
@@dobermanownerforlife3902oh yeah the old gun oil 😅, I'll just nip to asda and grab some. Thanks for the wd40 tip though 👍
I have been using this Wedge set for over a year now Rick, and I love them! I'm a high handicap avid golfer and these have absolutely helped to improve my short game! Happy to see you review them!
Hey Rick, love all this, you truly have guided all of us through our golf journey!
I've been golfing for about a year now and bought these wedges right from the start. I LOVE THEM! for the price, the feel, and the looks, you really cannot beat the value.
Just get these in silver and they will look like new after a clean. They have been great for me for about a year now. I can hit the green more consistently with loads of spin. I can't always control the distance but I think that comes down to user error. Great video mate!
Loving my Lazrus wedges. Got mine for under $150. Plenty of control & spin. Replaced my SM7's.
Thank you for finally reviewing the Lazrus Wedges. I’ve commented a few time asking you to and it super nice to hear your thoughts on them. I’ve used them now for about 3-4 months. The finish definitely wears out quick, however, I’ve been able to get backspin on my shots more with these Lazrus wedges than any other wedges.
Thanks! Really liked this look into the cheaper wedges. I actually started to use the Kirkland wedges after your review. Couldn’t bring myself to spend over $600 on 3 wedges that should probably be replaced every couple years.
Loving the amount of videos being uploaded after you've had a bit of a break! Can't wait to see the studio, it's time to show it off! You guys promised May in the podcast. Running out of time!
I use the lazurus wedges I love them
I'd like to see you re shaft the one to see if spin goes up and yardages go back to normal. Thanks for the video Rick!
I actually have these wedges in my bag. The 56 degree sand wedge has REALLY improved my short game from just off the green. I love them for what they are.
I haven’t used these particular wedge but to give them some grace, I’ve used the Cleveland RTXs and vokey sm8s in black and the color on both came off very quickly. Lasted a bit longer on Vokey, but still not long. If that’s the biggest downside (and the shaft, but slower swing speeds would be less effected), seems like a great deal for some.
Rick's never gonna utilize his review channel is he?
End of May they said 😂
Can’t rush perfection 👌
Why would he launch a new channel with some wedges from amazon?
New titleist stuff coming out soon so it'll launch with that I reckon
Listen to the pod and come back here
@@wexfordlad14 why?
Hello Rick, I started playing Golf in February at a local club in Abuja, Nigeria. Have learnt a lot from you. I followed your reviews and got the Cobra fly XL irons with the Speedzone Xtreme Driver. Really happy I did. I am improving. Cheers
I picked up a set of the Cobra fly XL secondhand recently and so far they feel great.
So glad you reviewed these! I've been going back and forth for a year on ordering these. I only started Golfing last year and get to the course and range maybe a total of 10 times a year. Thanks again for the great review!
I’ve been playing these since last year and have been very happy with them. The black has scratched some but the wear has patterned nicely. I am a bad golfer but have really enjoyed them and feel much easier to hit then what came with my starter Strata set
Have had the rainbow finish wedge set for roughly 18 months now. I’ve played enough rounds with them that the colour is starting to fade but it looks very gradual than what the black set does, add to their charm in my bag.
Interesting that you mentioned a lack of confidence in a full shot with them, as even though I’m relatively new to the game & a 20 or so handicapper I have never had confidence in a full shot, but anything 80% and down they feel amazing!
I've just orderd some but just the standard silver. I wanted the rainbow ones but was worried they would scratch and lose there colour. Have they held up?
@@Mrcaptainmorgan1989 they have faded mostly on the bounce of the club, it’s a very gradual dulling of the colours, more of a subtle loss I’d say. Over time any set of wedges are bound to show wear and tear, whats a little colour loss?
would love to see a test between these and the kirkland wedges
I'm trying to decide between the two sets. It seems like a no brainer to go Kirkland with their generous return policy...
I’ve had my Kirkland wedges for 18 months now and still love them.
I've had the lazrus and went from those to the kirklands. I'm a 15 handicap hack and to me they are almost identical in performance. The kirklands are a tiny bit chunkier feelieng and maybe go 5 yards further. But honestly I'd happily game either for the $
For a high handicapper I would suggest going Kirkland. I'm a 16 handicap and have hit both. For our skill and inconsistencies they hit exactly the same and at least with Costco they have a generous return policy
I have the 60* wedge in black and found the same thing about the wear. I kind of expect it though. Hitting out of the sand will always hurt the finish of any club, so I took it in stride. The longer shots are very consistent for me. My 60* is always good for 70 yds. I have found it to be a good club and very consistent for me on the course. I would recommend it, but understand the finish will wear with use.
Cheers Rick! and keep the great content rolling out
Ive been playing for about 6 months and these are the same wedges I have. I knew they were cheap but I absolutely love them. So glad they compare to some of the best wedges out there! Thanks for the awesome review and the confidence booster!
I have a new set of Clevelands this year, but I put 120 rounds on my black Lazrus set last year. Yes the black wore off on the sole and bottom half of the face, but the milling and grooves are still near perfect. I strongly considered reshafting my set. I really was that pleased with them. The shafts are to whippy for a low handicapper or better though.
I've had the same Cleveland wedges since HS and they've had more face-lifts than Madonna. But it's time...I might give these a shot.
@@ryderjohnson1293 they're legit. I've gamed my silver set for a season and a half, redid the bag over the winter, and still have the wedges in there. At the price point you honestly can't go wrong. Cheaper than one new "name brand" wedge
I only have the 56 degree rtx4.
Only use it in sand.
Anywhere else I work the Approach wedge.
I have the Lazrus driver, all 3/5/7 wood and the 56 degree. I absolutely love them and I have been thoroughly impressed since purchasing them. I’m a relatively new golfer so I don’t have a ton of experience with other clubs but if you’re on a budget I can’t recommend them enough :)
They are a great company. I have the 2 hybrid and that thing is a monster
I have the 3 and 7 wood along with the wedges. Very good clubs
Respect to you for taking us all along with your journey in business and life.
I bought the 4y a coupe years back and gave it to my dad. He hits it very well and is completely happy with it. Compared to my 5h ping G it’s about even distance wise. Your mileage may vary 😊
Bought them about 2 months ago and really liking them. Keep up the good work guys.
Are they Amazing?
I bought my set about the same time. Have no complaints on the set.
Love the video. Your commitment to giving honest reviews is what gets me coming back.
I bought these clubs a couple of months ago, I got them in silver as it was obvious going to be a school boy mistake to get rainbow or black even if they do look great out of the box!! I've got to say my chipping has never been as good, partly down to the clubs but also they have given me loads of confidence to improve and take shots I would have avoided previously.... 100% worth the price, especially for us high handicap players who don't want to spend £450 of 3 clubs!
Once again you get what you pay for….personally I wouldn’t but a club with the black finish I don’t care who makes it that finish is coming off eventually…👍🏼👍🏼
They have a black, regular ‘silver’ finish and a rainbow finish.
If I was gonna pay that money for 3wedges I'd go for the Kirklands, absolutely brilliant wedges but always good to have options
Love my Kirkland wedges. Best, most consistent clubs in my bag.
Yea the Kirkland 52 is my bitch. Love them.
Agreed. Also with their awesome return policy this season I went and returned them at Costco and picked up a brand new fresh set. So fresh grooves for nothing.
Love seeing you putting that wedge lesson to use. Love seeing you use release 1,2,3 fantastic!
@Rick Shiels Golf I love your videos I always feel like I’m out on the green with you! Beginning in golf and your videos have helped my game so much! You’re awesome and would love to know what clubs I should get for a good price as a beginner.
Hey Rick, how does the finish coming off effect the performance? Or is it just a cosmetic thing? For the price, if the performance doesn't change, I don't care what the club looks like....
I’m saying lol. Rick is so upset by the finish coming off. I didn’t see any dents or chips on those grooves however and they have different color options if it really bothers you. Rick is belly aching over nothing
It's cosmetic only - no performance impact.
New Kirkland Signature wedges just came out this week at Costco. Any chance you'll review them?
I’m wondering which ones I should get
I've gamed the silver set for over a year now. Playing off a 7 handicap. Just redid the bag over the winter, putting brand new clubs in, and the wedges were the only clubs to keep their spot. They aren't Vokey's by any means, but if you're a strong wedge player, they will perform just fine. Biggest gripe would be the lack of grind/bounce options, but again, at this price point, they are actually phenomenal clubs and I'm glad to see them getting some love and recognition. If you're on the fence, they are worth the buy. I can vouch for that.
The studio is unreal!! I've been waiting for this channel to go live for months! Buzzing for the first video to drop. Congratulations Rick
Just bought these a month ago. They have great customer service and shipped really quickly. The spin they get for me is amazing. They've allowed me to hit alot more greens, legitimately. The only downfall is the amount of dirt that gets caked in the milled face... But that's what gives it the action. 💥
-also: get the silver ones so the finish isn't a problem. Or get trippy with the rainbows and when it fades to silver it's still dope. 💪
I've had mine for 2 years. Other than breaking the 60 degree on a COMPLETELY unnecessary flop shot and caught a tree root, they've been great. Got em on the "blemish" page for 100 dollars shipped. I love em!!
Thanks for the review Rick I have Callaway wedges love them but tbh the first wedge I ever brought was a Dunlop for £4.99 and it is still finding its way back in my bag lol great review
I'm a Lazrus truther. I have the wedges, irons, and putter and love them. Especially considering the price point. Customer service is also great. My 5-iron snapped at the shaft on the first practice swing, contacted them, and the next day a new one was shipped. Good to see they performed reasonably well on the review.
Just got back into golfing after a very long break (20 years 😅). I’m 36 and am so glad I’ve got back into it and I love the fact that I discovered your channel. My wife and I have become huge fans. Love the content Rick. Keep doing what you do. 😉😊
Glad you finally reviewed these, I bought a Lazrus 4 Hybrid a few years ago and I absolutely love it!
For any CANADIANS out there, I bought a 3 set of wedges (52,56 and 60) from Costco for $180. They’re some of the best wedges and my dad is getting rid of his taylormades for the Kirkland ones. They sell really good golf clubs for an amazing price. Check it out, maybe in the USA too.
I had a wedge in a black finish and while it does wear off quickly, it gives good feedback as to where you strike the ball. I had a pretty solid circle in the center of the club face. It was a 52° so it was mainly for full shots.
I have bought those exact wedges the black does scoff easily but the quality and playability of them is very good in my opinion
I bought the Kirkland signature last year and I've never needed to replace them, I'm going to get them regripped and double taped now as they're a little too thin but they're amazing
Got this set in the silver a month ago. Helped me a ton with the short range shots. Helped me drop 5 strokes, and finally broke 90 😂
Loved these wedges when first starting! i think you're very correct though, the shafts are suspect for faster players. Didn't have any personal experience with the finishes on the head, so thats unfortunate to see for sure. But i think these are GREAT wedges if youre just starting. They seems to produce a lot of spin for the right player, but its easy to over power that shaft in full swings as a more experienced player.
I bought these last year in the rainbow finish and while I'm not a great player I noticed the same things. I also hacked chunks out of a few of my lower cost balls (Kirkland ones for example). Longer shots are a little janky but I don't get as much distance as clubs state which could contribute to that for me. The rainbow finish holds up better than the black one does from what I can see as well. Mine have some wear but do not have much, if any discoloration. Overall, I would agree with the shaft being the weak point, if you get these and change the shafts you might end up with something to rival higher end clubs and come in still at a lower price.
I'm still using my 52 and love it. Snapped the 60 and replaced it with a Cleveland, still love the spin on the Lazrus a bit more.
Got the wedges last week, received the irons this week. I am a new golfer and I absolutely love these for the price.
New golfer won’t notice a difference from
A good or bad club really anyways. Smart to find decent and cheap
Seem very similar to my bombtech wedges and I absolutely love them out of bunkers and around the greens. The finish in my black bombtechs has held up very well after a year, it is hard to trust them on full shots for sure.
I use two of the hybrids and the 7 wood. This brand is significantly underrated for the price. I have the putter as well but it’s not replaced my Scotty. You honestly can’t go wrong with them as they have a money back guarantee.
Please continue the Amazon club testing I love these videos.
Another top-notch review. I've been considering these a lot lately! Looking forward to your review channel as well! Keep it up 🙌🏻
I am so pumped you reviewed these finally!!
i have a good buddy that bought these in the irons and the woods....he loves them...hes 76 years old and hes hitting them pretty well....cheers from Canada
Honestly been so curious about these. So glad to see a review.
i have those wedges currently and been using them for almost 12 months, your right with the wear and the shaft but they feel super nice so i like them
I own theses!! Have had them for a few years. So good my regular golf buddy picked them up also. Great clubs at a great price.
Thank you for taking time to do the comparison. the quality of the channel kislux is better, I bought it here, and you can ask them to take a photo for confirmation before shipping.
I would say with the shaft it sounds more flexi which means it’s probably even better for your higher handicap golfer . Seems a great purchase for 70% of players
I literally had these in my Amazon cart today trying to decide if I wanted to pull the trigger! Great to see your review!
Been waiting for you to do Lazrus for a while! I've had these in the bag since 2020 and have really liked them. I feel very confident swinging them. I'm sure I don't get nearly the same club head speed Rick gets so the shafts don't bother me. I've stuck a few of my best shots ever with these and the price point is insaaane
I bought the Kirkland wedges. They were being discontinued and went on sale for $120 for the set of 3. I had been looking at them for a while and that sale price made me pull the trigger. Absolutely love them. Lots more spin than the Lazarus wedges. The weak point was the grip, but that is easily fixed. I definitely prefer the chrome finish over the black.
Based upon this review, as I gather up a new set of clubs after a 15 year hiatus, I can say “thanks Rick!” I’m so impressed with the quality and feel and consistency of these clubs. As of March 2024, I paid $118 delivered, which exchanges to approximately £94! After playing them I went back and picked up their 65° wedge for $50 (£39). Every bit as good. At my skill level I cannot justify $150 wedges.
Lazrus really hit the nail on the head.
I really want you to review the New Adams Golf clubs. With the taylormade technology behind them and direct to consumer model, they look like a good balance of tech and value for the high handicapper or beginner.
I have these wedges, in the crazy rainbow color. I LOVE EM!
I was wondering about these the other day. Thanks for the video Rick
I’ve got these! The three irons in chrome. I really like them and they do for me as a 16 handicapper
A lot of the performance of the wedges depends on the bounce etc. So this would be a big factor
I've reshafted my mizuno wedges as the shafts were 'heavy' now with a light stiff they are fantastic
It’s about time Rick reviews these. I play 4 all the way down to 60 degree and couldn’t be happier.
I have them same set in black finish, bought them about two months ago. I hardly have any wear and tear on them. I golf at least 4 days a week.
Ive been using the Lazrus wedges for about half a year and i love them. Cant beat the quality for the price piont. Got mine in the chrome finish and there is little to no wear on them
Same. Just got a rock gouge on my 60 last week, was a little bummed, but hey tools not jewels right. The durability is actually impressive at the price point.
Rick, if you had a show on the Golf Channel, I would tune in to every episode. I'd seen these wedges on Amazon and was intrigued. I'm still intrigued. Thank you, as always!!
They also make hybrids, would love to see a review of those. Most places have said the wedges are pretty solid, but never seen anything about the hybrids.
I've got a 7H I bought from them a year ago when I was really struggling with my irons. I find them pretty decent overall with just a tad less forgiveness than my Callaway 5H.
I got the costco clubs 2 years ago after playing for a year and then got these wedges last year to go with them since the costco set only had a pitching wedge. I like them but I shoot 100.:D Having a set of wedges helped a lot vs always using a pw. I got the rainbow set, my friend got the black set. His are more used but I feel like the rainbow set is holding up better visually from wear and tear than the black. My 52 did come with a pretty deep nick in the back. Looks like it happened during manufacturing because they were packaged well. Nothing too bad that made me want to send them back and wait for a new set though.
I like the looks of a worn down dark color wedge. It looks weathered and loved.
Hi Rick, i really like you're video's. Keep doing those video's, because for Golf noobs it's not simple what club to buy an absolut not to buy. Thx for that!!!
Glad Rick finally reviewed these!
I spent some time with these wedges and just took them out of my golf bag again. The problem for me was having a set of graphite clubs but with steel shafted wedges and the weight difference caused problems. But I'm sure they are a great set of wedges for most people.
I have 2 buddies who have the same set of wedges, my wedge set are the cleveland cbx. I have used theirs and as far as distance and spin, can't really tell a difference. I would say clubs like this are great for anyone not wanting to get fitted, or getting into golf.
I'm a mid-high handicapper realistically, and I bought these when I first got back into golf last year, I'm very impressed by what I spent
There was a similar deal from Bombtech a while ago, which I believe is still on. A friend has these, and the wedges are very similar to the Bombtech that I have. There is one real drawback on shorter shots, lack of spin. Full shots flew a little high, with plenty of spin, but chips and pitches must be played for more runout.
I have a putter from this company and it was a game changer..I had been using a odyssey two ball and the new putter feels looks and performed hands down better (im not sponsored or affiliated in any way just extremely impressed)
I would be interesting to see the MD STR40 wedges compared to these. They're available at £150 for 3 direct to customer and the spin is amazing.
I'm your average bad golfer but I love to play. I have had these wedges going on 2 years now playing 2 to 3 times a month, typically. These have held up very well for me. Then again, I treat my equipment like gold because I don't have a ton of money. Some of us just can't afford $150 for a single wedge. Buying the package set of 3 allows me to try different things around the green making the game more fun. I'm never gonna be (NAME YOUR FAVORITE GOLFER). I just want decent products that are a good value. The money I save on products like this allows me to budget for golf balls. :) Thanks for taking time to do a poor man's set of wedges Rick!
I run almost all Lazrus in my bag now. Great club for the price and love the wedges
I have these in the silver. Love them so far. I would like to see a review of their other clubs. (Irons, woods, etc.).
surprisingly I play college golf and a scratch golfer, I have been using these since my freshman year of high school, color has faded but my wedge game is definitely the strongest part of my game because of these wedges. I don't feel the same with any other wedge in my hand, I can control these wedges perfectly.
Me and my buddy just bought our sets 👍 Hadn't bought it without this test!
Very interesting review as always, Rick. Maybe do a video with a full Lazrus bag? Wedges, irons, woods and putter?
I shoot with these wedges as well, I cannot complain about these clubs at all, nice feel and get complemented on them often
I use the Kirkland wedge set from Costco that you reviewed a couple years ago and I like them better than my Callaway wedges. I'm a very poor golfer - about an 18 handicap.
Been using these wedges for ab a year and I love them for the price they are perfect
i have these exact clubs and absolutely love them!!
