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.

I tell you what, there is no legitimate excuse for playing bad because of the clubs. Lesson learnt I need to practice. Ps Ricky would you also caddie for me when I visit the UK
OK.......what if... you did this with special guests and do the same set of clubs on the same 9 holes, just change the Tour pro. Make it a "Top Gear" style thing. Just a thought
@@Archy03 I like the Top Gear style. Same set of clubs and same 9 hole course!
@@daren7786 morning
@@daren7786 hope ur doing better, I was living in my car too, but things turned out ok! Whatever you do, don't give up hope! God bless!! 🙏❤️👉🇺🇸
Imagine you see James in The Open Qualifiers making 30 foot putt's with the slazenger putter
I feel putters are like Harry Potters wand. They chose you, sometimes you just find your putter.
@@karlg1535 totally agree
feel like we need to see him game a full set of slazenger. New brand ambassador 🔥
Brilliant 😂
@@MrAnders1000 I've got my Taylormade putter from 1987. It's a sniper and I can't find anything better
James has set the bar for these clubs, now open the challenge to other pros, same clubs different pro, what a fun leaderboard that would be. "Rick Shiels 9 hole Slazenger Open Challenge"
That would be class, it would be like the Kia challenge, star in a reasonable priced car. Great idea.
This had to be done
That's actually a really cool idea.
Instead of celebrities in crappy cars from top gear it's pros with crappy clubs 🤣🤣🤣
Like Top gears reasonably priced car challenge,
The fact James is this insanely good and still found it tough on the European tour shows just how insane the standards are to even get on the tour. Madness
Par 3 - 150 yards
James: "It's got to be a well hit wedge"
Me: *Thumbing my Driver* "Hmmmm"
Me while I watch both of y’all from the woods fiddling with my putter🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
@@piercemccauley7079 I'd be looking for my ball in the woods!
😂
150 I’d probably hit my 8 iron and hope for the best
I was thinking the same thing on that mention, he's on a completely different level. I'd probably be going with a 7 or 6 iron and give it maybe just over a half swing. I wouldn't consider the wedge unless it's under 80 yards.
Notice Rick only volunteers to caddy when he'll be carrying the lightest set of clubs available. Smart man, that.
And the club choice is obvious 😂
how ridiculous would the electric bag cart have been here?lol
Ha.. Did you watch the video with Lee Westwood where Rick Caddied for him? It was Lee's tour bag (but Rick never carried it)...
I’ve just spent £800 on a new set of irons, told the Mrs it would improve my game. She sent me this video ... I’m in the dog house thanks Rick :,(
to be fair, there are some differences in the clubs that may actually affect your ability to use them, like length, shaft material. All of these things did affect how well he played I think, he's just so much better than "us" that it's more discrete of differences.
in my opinion...
Lmao
😆
This made me pee myself laughing a little.
You poor bastard.
Enjoy sleeping on the couch.
Check mate haha
This, to me, is a perfect example of the idiom, "A good craftsman never blames his tools." This man has handled this small set masterfully.
A poor craftsman blames his tools.
A good craftsman can afford good tools.
A good craftsman certainly can blame his tools, don’t you think?
@FTVDiscGolf
Of course he CAN. But he doesn't.
@@Jetmech1781 my dad is a good craftsman. His table-saw blade got dull and needed sharpening. So he blamed the dull blade for a poorer-cut edge. Then, he sharpened the blade, and proceeded to make much cleaner cuts.
Did I just blow your mind?
@FTVDiscGolf
Nope. He recognized the blade was in a sub par condition and fixed the issue. Did he use the poor cuts in his finished product without fixing them?
I could watch these two play golf all day. James clearly loves being on the course, and Rick’s enthusiasm is infectious.
James with these clubs vs Rick with a full set. I'd watch that match!
Yes
Yes bring it on !!!
Agreed!!
Don't be a wimp Rick, I know you'll see this! 🤣
I was thinking the same thing. That’s the logical next episode.
Do this challenge with as many guests as possible, same clubs, same course and have a board to track all of their scores, Top Gear ReasonablyPriced Car styles.
This is class ....i will watch that series every week ..James already set the pace.
Doubt you will get Rory to turn up. You did it in.. 1 .. over .. par..
Absolutely this. I'd have watched this for a full 18 holes. Nice fella too.
Brilliant shout 👏
@@ksportz66 Does that mean he's not coming on then?
I still cannot believe he hit that hybrid 260 years out of the rough, what an insanely good golfer
Definitely the shot that showcases his class.
This is one of the most entertaining videos I've seen on this channel. Rick was having a blast. And James seemed to be quite enjoying the challenge. Crazy what he was able to do with the PW.
This video is definitely a testament to the power of solid putting.
Most used club in the bag each and every round. Can’t think of a “good” round I’ve had when I’ve putted like a muppet.
It's true, I'm not a great putter, have an awesome driver, iron, chip game - but I've never called it a "good" round unless I've done well putting... James distance control with an unfamiliar putter was incredible - eyes right over the ball.
All of my personal best rounds coincide with some of the best putting performances of my life. Like 1.5 average putts for the round and no 3-putts.
Yes but hes got in position with good drives !
Keep it in play, get it on or close to the green, chip and putt well... Sums up my best rounds.
I bought my son a set like this when he was 13 and wanting to move on from the kid's set he had. Now he's 16 and playing in High School. I offered to buy him a full and fitted set, but he said "No. Everyone I play against who sees these clubs immediately underestimates me, which gives me an advantage...Maybe next year".
Id say your son is a smart young man. Good for him.
Your son gets it
I love that!
What a star!!.... That level of intelligence is rare!!👍
Wise kid
James's game is pure class! He's legitimately 1 of the best putters I've ever seen. Really like his positive attitude as well! I really hope to watch him play in The Open someday!
The -1 is crazy with no back story. But the fact that he did it without every taking a swing with them on the range - literally his fist time touching them - is truly astonishing. Outside of the driver off the deck on 8, did he ever not strike it cleanly? The consistently perfect ball striking is so impressive. All with a set of clubs that cost about as much as two dozen golf balls.
Cheers for answering the question. Don’t need to watch no. Knobhead
@@joemanoli9688 I'm going to steal knobhead as an insult going forward. Thank you.
I got a starter set of Callaway Strata clubs and I’m feeling like I got a chance of having a good time on the links with these clubs.
Those are good clubs I recommend them took a bit to get use to them but I love them
The best golf video I've seen on CZcams, someone playing with a smile, enjoying golf and proving that you don't have to 14 of the latest expensive clubs to play.
I wanna see the same guy play the same 9 holes with his own set to see how much of a difference it actually makes
Then again he also played this round without ever touching these clubs, I’m sure if he could’ve played a round or two before the video with them he would be fine but still not his normal self
Well part of the problem wasn’t just the club make. It was the fact it was missing clubs too which is not really a good experiment! He is using PW when he would normally use a 58 degree to drop it in. All this adds strokes. So he really needed a complete set to do the experiment
His own clubs ..
Birdie
Birdie
Eagle
Par
Eagel .....
Over 18 holes, I could see that being 6 or 7 shots lower.
Just play with 2 sets. He only plays the lie from the cheap sets shot.
I mean this with the upmost respect and all sincerity. I've been watching a ton of your videos and I am so appreciative of seeing a low handicap/scratch golfer show all his shots and his blunders. Really makes me feel much more comfortable with my flubbed shots. Just your attitude when you flub one has taught me a ton on how to react and not allow that single shot to destroy the rest of your day. Thanks for the wonderful content, Rick!
Absolutely felt warm and fuzzy inside watching you two have fun and golf well! I felt like we were all a team that day, thank you
Can we all take a minute to recognize just how good that was?
Seriously good.
And I think the most amazing thing is how he was able to immediately adapt to the regular shaft (especially with the driver) just through knowledge. Most people who go from extra-stiff to regular flex would be spraying balls all over the place. In fact the only place the ball probably wouldn't go, is wherever the player is aiming.
Literally 99% won’t see this but I lost my job due to covid. They shut down all the restaurants in Cook county which then led me to loosing my apartment. I'm currently living out of my car which I try and make the best of. I've applied to a bunch of places I'm hoping to get a call back. if anyone could help me with whatever you could bc I'm needing stuff like hand warmers which I stuff my clothes at night when it's cold. Also cheap burgers/fastfood. I know times are tough for everyone these days but if you're able to help me I have paypal

Greatest slazenger ad of all time, I hope he’s been offered a sponsorship because that was genuinely incredible
Just proves most clubs will get the job done when well !!
I love how much fun you guys have. You are making my love for the game come back to surface. I've long since given up any hope of being a competent golfer, let alone a good one, but you make me remember how fun it is, those moments were the ball comes off the face just right...
Absolutely love watching James swing a club. Outstanding play, and always with a smile on his face. Well done, with short of par equipment. Exciting.
As a proud(?) Owner of a set of Slazenger V300 clubs this video brought a tear to my eye.
Nick for a beginner or occasional golfer these clubs will do you proud.
Skill, personality and importantly humility ....... James is a class act and I bet he’s a truly outstanding coach.
Oh he is! I've just had a couple days with him ... He's just like he seems. He changed my entire game and was patient and a bloody good laugh to boot.
I will be going back for more!
Absolutely one of the best videos I've watched. Point well made and James was talented AND a class act.
**Hits a $15 hybrid 260 yards** "Jeez this guy is amazing"
His swing is incredible smooth !! Things I learned in this video:
1. Take a smooth tempo in your swing - every damn time - do not rush it
2. Get out there and practice putting, putting, putting
3. Enjoy Golf
Spot on. His swing was effortless and putting was 🎯
And timing
Wrong. Smash the driver as far as I can no matter what and 3 putt every hole. Don't tell me how to golf. :P
@@Cmcmillen77 legit my game 😅
@@Cmcmillen77 that's how I play golf as well xD
As a total beginner I went for a golf Lesson with James Robinson today - he was fab. I walked in and sliced & topped every shot, and after 15 minutes he had me hitting consistently. Really enjoyed, and certainly will be back!
you lucky boy
Thanks for the comment James. Good luck with qualifying 😀
Is that at Clarke's rainford
I played with james in a junior comp years ago, junior victory trophy 2005 lol. He was a top bloke then good to see the player he has become today
@@TheJayddub underrated comment
What a golfer James is! This channel needs more James. Great video, loved it.
watched for the second time round and just as good, love the combination of you two guys, how humble is your man
Boy James has the most beautiful swing I've ever seen. He makes it look so effortless
Incredible looking swing. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
The fact that he had such a hard time when he was on tour just tells us how difficult the competition is
@@victorchen8484 indeed. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
@@victorchen8484 at the elite level it becomes more about putting. they can all play, i played a pro am once with an ex tour player and he hit 16 greens in regulation, he didn't make a birdie put all day, he said that was the problem he had on tour ! it was a real eye opener just how good he struck the ball but didn't score
@@smythrich nonsense the best drivers makes 5x as much as the best putters on tour
Look at top 10 strokes gained off the tee and top 10 putting it’s clear which list is better
Im gonna watch this video anytime I think I need new clubs to remind myself Im just bad.
That was my takeaway from this as well. I cannot hit my driver with any more than 180m carry (12 degree loft). Now probably a fitted driver with less loft would buy me another 10-20m but I will still be rubbish. It will not change the fact that only half of my drives go anywhere near straight.
@@robsengahay5614 get lessons before getting fit. The lessons will help you straighten your drive out and thus gaining distance and the custom fitting will help bring dispersion down and maybe increase distance.
pay for lessons not for clubs
I’m glad I spent all my money on a fresh set of clubs this season.
Oh hey Ego, I haven’t seen you in a while.
That was a very entertaining little challenge. I was drawn in immediately by your exciting commentary, and of course the skills of James. Excellent content out of something so simple!
As a bad golfer, that was truly incredible to watch, and the fact he wasn’t going out and just belting the driver, but in fact placing balls and Manoeuvring the clubs to suit the shot he needed to play.. top class
Shaft would not allow him to smash it. Was getting max distance by swinging smooth so it would not balloon up by spinning to much.
He just added 1 ⭐️ to the Slazenger brand, that hybrid shot was legendary 💪🎯
Really enjoyed watching this round! James is an inspiration as a person and golfer. Rick is my favorite on CZcams to watch, both are amazing golfers and great guys!
I enjoyed James and would love to see him qualify for the Open.
If this doesn't show that mechanics, tempo, and creativity conquers all then I don't know what does. One of the best videos yet. Rick didn't hit a shot and he was fantastic. Take lessons boys and girls, a draw driver will never FIX your slice.
So your sayin its false advertising? 🤣
true story
My dad was a scratch golfer when I was growing up and into my middle age. I never got below a 10 handicap no matter how much I practiced or how many lessons I took. One time he beat me using only his 7 iron. He always used to say to me, "It ain't the equipment son."
".... just pure talent"
Great story bro
Well to be fair, it can just as easily be equipment that are to blame, when you're above 2 meters tall, and you're playing with none fitted standard clubs, believe me, the length of the clubs can be an absolute wreck to your game.
@@Reavix1 Oh, sure. Equipment *can* wreck you. but expensive equipment isn't going to help any more than if you found a tall set at a yard sale unless you're already very good.
@@psymar I disagree completely, and there are oh so many factors in play as to why, club length right of the bat is by far one of the most important parts of a set and the bounce on the surface is equally important, otherwise it can have serious ramifications to your swing, took me almost 3 years to unlearn the mistakes i made using a standard length golf club, when i finally did get fitted for clubs that were max length thats over 2.5 inches of club length which makes a hell of a lot of difference when it comes to your Angle of attack, steepness of your swing and such things. Honestly i dislike this video, because it is a gross misrepresentation of the truth, this is valid to people of standard size/build to a point, but that's it.
This guy is such a great sport and great on camera too I enjoyed you sharing the time with him
Such an awesome video. Really puts into perspective how good those guys are. That hybrid shot was unreal. Thanks for the awesome content Rick!
Slazenger: “It’s not us, it’s you”
Haha underrated comment !!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
🙌🏼
Best comment ever
You should trademark this and sell it to slazenger!
James is such a mild mannered, good natured golfer. And obviously very skilled.
That's why he isn't cut out for the pro set. He wont chew your nads off in competition like a Faldo would have. Faldo would literally growl at his playing partners if they got in his way.
@@CoIoneIPanic John Rahm is reportedly " the nicest guy in the world" he's also #1 in the world...

I like your new recent contents by inviting pro players to play local courses, different clubs to play with. Loving them. Keep up the creative work!

Everyone: scratching their heads
James: I really like this putter
Make it a regular thing.... Putting James to the test with weird challenges!!
But then the attention isn’t in Rick and he can’t handle that
@@jonafrica5739 But... he’s had Guy, Rob Potter, and others on...
@@jonafrica5739 he seemed to handle this just fine !!
As a relatively new golfer with a really basic set of clubs I've been toying with the idea of upgrading to a better set... I think this video just saved me £500 to put towards lessons instead!
It's probably too late for you but for anyone else, just recording yourself at the range and then comparing it to pros on youtube can save you even more money. I think it's mostly about having someone critique your swing and that is hard to do when you can't watch yourself.
@@pauldickman4379 I think this applies to most of the sports. It's certainly one of the best ways to improve in tennis without a coach, you record yourself practicing, then record a match, and if you spend a bunch of time looking at videos about proper technique and how professionals do it, you'll instantly see that you look horrible (at first) and not even remotely close to what you imagined you are doing.
tl;dr recording yourself is very useful indeed.
Lessons are the best thing I ever did. In my first lesson, my coach noticed and fixed some flaws with my swing.
This reminds me of a story I heard, an urban legend I'm sure as I've heard/read the same story where the pro and the clubs change. Anyway, the story is that Gary Player was playing a round at CMR, a club in Johannesburg, with some club members and they came to this par 3, about 130m across a pond, and he asked his caddy for a 9 iron. One of the club members commented that he played a sand wedge on the hole. Player then proceeded to hit every club in his bag, from SW to Driver, on or near the green. He then turned to the guy who made the comment and said: " I still say it's a 9 iron shot for me"
Unreal. Rick is so good compared to the average golfer, but that's another level.
@@rodrigodemiguellamminen5244 lmao this video puts tiger skill into perspective? Are you that ignorant?
@@LiLKK713PB no he’s saying that James is on the tour but no where near tigers level which shows how good tiger actually was?
@@Ben-tm6md he isn’t on tour and that could be said for 100s of players. There are top level guys and then there are 100s of pros that aren’t on that level.
@@LiLKK713PB oh he isn’t a tour player? Fair enough then
@@Ben-tm6md He was on European tour
James: *Takes practice swing*
Rick: “That is SO GOOD...”
You should do more videos with him! Super humble guy and pleasant to watch! Also, for me, I took time to get a little better before switching to nicer clubs, and at about a 15 handicap, I switched to callaway apex mb18 irons and just practiced many hours. At the time, I knew game improvement irons would help me score better, but I did not want forgiveness, I wanted to learn to hit the middle, not to rely on forgiveness. It forced me to think more at the range (not overthink), and eventually, almost every single one of my iron swings looked and felt the same. I studied my swing, grip, club path/plane, tempo and that is what made me strike irons as well as I do today. I feel comfortable with them now. And now that I am better, I do not need to switch to a players iron from game improvement irons because I already got them a long time ago. My golf coach gave me that advice to save money and go strait to players irons and learn how to hit the middle of the face. I really believe this is the way to go for people to go if they are wanting to potentially shoot under par at some point. But other people are different and should do what they feel will improve their game the fastest! The important thing is to just love the game and treat your equipment with respect no matter what you have!
Just amazing!!
James came across as a proper sound bloke and a really solid golfer. Loved that vid.
Slazenger must be absolutely licking their lips with this one, and It's not even sponsored 😂
Great vibes with this fella, definitely would love to see him again!
I started learning to play golf about half a year ago. I budgeted for lessons first and these clubs (but the full set) is all I could afford. I expected to struggle a bit with the clubs but I was completely wrong. The clubs are fine, my skill is still the limit and I think it will be for quite some time. The lessons on the other hand are invaluable. I'm happy to see Rick correcting this false expectation that you need expensive and fitted clubs to play golf. Those might have their place, but you certainly don't need them when starting out.
I've watched this twice now... to call this guy "a skilled golfer" is the understatement of the year - great video
That was great to illustrate that skill/training/practice is far more important than equipment.
Out of all the videos you make, I think this one give the greatest lesson of all. Just Have Fun. Love it
Truly enjoyed this hope to see more from a pro playing with some cheapy clubs! This exact style with another pro! Excellent content Rick!
You gotta have James back on the channel, super skilled, and a very nice bloke. Goes with the flow, looks like he enjoyed it every bit.
If any of Rick's videos convince me to take lessons, it's this one. James played some great golf with those clubs. Thank you Rick and James.
I haven’t played golf (badly) for over 20 years, but I’m addicted to this channel.
Love the videos seeing your pros play on public courses and with everyday clubs is great
James was a great addition to the channel. Best part is how much Rick is into it. When he’s into it, I’m into it. All the best, from Nashville.
This dude barely missed a fairway or a green. His skill around the greens is incredible
And felt that with a 56* he could've gone even lower.... unreal.
@@JacqueRoberts yeah for sure, I'd have liked to see him play with a full set up cheap clubs. Like not having a 56-60 wedge is a huge disadvantage
This was awesome! I had a smile from ear to ear for the whole video. Two absolute gentlemen.
Amazing to watch and quite a golf life lesson for the rest of us. Thank you!
Glad he's on the channel, seems such a decent bloke. Like to see more of him.
This is one of the most fun videos you've had in a while. My son and I were cracking up when he just kept making the putts. Awesome!
Excellent video which shows that those of us who spend most of our time wondering whether to throw our clubs in the lake just need an enthusiastic pal to laugh at the errors and give encouragement to the occasional good shot we hit. Thank you, and keep it going.
Only discovered your videos the other day. Absolutely loving it mate, can't get enough. Cracking job.
I am so rooting for James to qualify for the Open. He’ll have the entire Rick Shiels Army behind him!!!
Honestly, he knows if he went back into tour he’d be in the much lower end, he wouldn’t come close to any of the top scorers. All though he is a very good golfer regardless
I like how they're making fun of the clubs, but they look about 20 years newer than mine
Thank you for making these videos. I have been put off playing golf by the extreme prices of golf kit. This shows it is skill, not ‘buying a game’. You vids are fantastic!!
Never did I think I'd watch a 22:20 video about golf in my life. But this was an extremely entertaining watch. Showed a side of golf I had never seen. Cheers from New Zealand.
That was really fun to watch. i’m not sure if I should quit the game or practice more. But it’s so fun to watch a player with that kind of talent play with modest equipment and show us what real golfers do.
This video was just perfect. I was glued to the screen from start to finish. You guys make a great team and James is a master at golf.
I love the connection between James and yourself. Awesome video.
Brilliant to see James out on the course on the channel. What a superstar!
what a genuine great lad he is, needs to get back on tour full time
maybe check out the podcast..... he is much happier now.
@@kentgulliford I did watch it, I meant in terms of his game he should still be playing on tour
James is a cool dude and its wonderful to see him on the channel showing his great skill level. Thanks guys.
This might be my favourite RS video. I play my local par 4 9 hole village course, with a set of clubs I've had for over 10 years, 1-3×per week and I love it. I would recommend anyone to just get out there and play, have fun, try and beat yourself and not worry so much about 'the equipment'. Great content 👍
Anyone else screaming when that birdie dropped on 16th?!! GET IN THERE!!
Well I might have been but you ruined it now
Don't read the comments BEFORE watching the video then.
@@berkshiregolfer You start the video, read the comments for the first minute whilst the intro goes on, then watch the rest of the vid. That's the law
There's like 1300 comments 😂
I’m a pga golf coach living in Germany and this video is simply brilliant. This is what I try to explain to my golfers all the time.
I once shot 5 over for 9 holes with a child’s (6-8 years) half set. I would just love to see James do something like that. I’m almost sure he could shoot par.👏👏👏👍
what a very entertaining video, James is a really nice guy & an immensely talented golfer. Great to hear & see how he thinks his way round the course. Most of us I guess just try to hit it as far as we can with little thought to placement as that's a top skill.
I really like the joy these guys play with.
Watching this makes you feel like you could go and do this down your local course, he just makes it look so effortless.
effort and golf dont go together. A golf club should be held like a wand and a golf swing should be executed like a dance move. When i golf it's like stuffing a hyena in a garbage bag.

Thanks, a fun watch, both guys pleasant and having fun.
As a beginner (played my first round ever December 2020), I truly enjoyed this video because I actually use a cheap set of Strata clubs. But I also enjoyed how genuine is Rick in praising the skills of his friend. Speaks volumes about the person he is.
Strata’s are actually a very decent set of clubs!
@@Sinners4SaintsTV agree 100%. I'm having a blast in my new found addiction and these clubs are all I need.
That's what I use too except the putter and 52° those are academy wilson special lol
I started with the stratas; they are awesome!!!!
My first set as well! Stratas are pretty decent- they come off the same assembly line as the Callaway brand
What I find incredible is that players a century ago were breaking par on tough courses with clubs that were basically variants of hammers, walking sticks and butter knives while using balls that were chicken feathers wrapped in leather.
Yeah but the pars were adjusted to them
On courses that were 200 yard par 5’s…
@@SaintsCheat Uhhh, no.
I try to explain it to my son who is getting into golf. I bought me a set of used Titleist AP2 714’s. He liked them when he tried them and asked if he could have them in a few years. I said he can have them now. At 18 years old he hits the ball better than I ever have/will. My old Ben Hogans have served me well and continue to do so moving forward. The clubs are not what holds me back.
@@ka4sxi to a certain extent. i had callaway ft's since i was in highschool in 2010ish, then just recently got cobra radspeed irons. My old 7 iron went 165, my new one goes 200 if I catch it right due to the loft being basically what my old 5 iron was. Especially these days when there are hybrid irons. Which you should try instead of blades/cavities. They would improve your game alot.
Great video! Loved the synergy between you two guys!
Glad the channel is finally up love watching reviews
