Classic Rick Shiels test video, I love it.
I have been missing these videos. The bloopers were mint! Thanks for the hard work Rick!
@Rick Shiels Golf Don’t suppose you have could do a test on the Rife RX5 tour feel balls? 3 piece and I really like them but would love to know what you think.
@jumpinfool hard work? He’s hitting golf balls and talking
@Rick Shiels Golf PGA PRO are we sure about that rick. You need a lessons for sure
Great content Rick. Always wondered how store branding is compared to elite
Good video, think it would have been worth hitting a few Pro V1’s as a control. Could also have been the cold weather affecting distance.
You don’t think Rick has hit a million pro v1s in his life? He knows what a pro v1 feels like.
@Nick Perryman Not the feel, just for the numbers as we’re not in a temp controlled studio. Easiest thing to remove any doubt is to hit a couple of Pro V1’s and show the difference.
Only a man who remembers balata golf balls would be trying the fingernail/bite test to determine how soft they are 🤣
Bite test😂😂only works if in possession of own teeth 😂😂😂
Two things rick: you should hit a few proV1s as a reference for your shots, perhaps your swing is slower that day etc. It would be a nice comparison for us. 2. they’re £22 on amazon now as we’ve all just searched
He’s been hitting Pro V1’s for several years and are what all of his baseline statistics are from.
@Austin Lindstrom I’m aware that’s his go to ball and his standard distances are prov1s but there are so many variables to consider e.g weather hot/cold i hit much further in the summer, wind direction and strength, and player form. In science you would add an internal standard to a sample which is a very accurate known amount so you could compare your data against it. For all we know he was off form or a large head wind was present etc. He’s used prov1 shots in the past for comparison and shown said product was not performing. It was a shame a couple weren’t hit here, it’s likely he would have hit a prov1 280 that day but we dont know and still a very enjoyable video.
@Rana He’s also not a hard science lab guy.
I literally posted the same comment as you. Yours was better though…lol
they only went cheaper on the Prime Day deals, they will be on Black Friday again no doubt
£22 a box just now. Amazon’s on to you Rick 😂
They’re now the same price per dozen as the super soft in the US. Also the 1 dozen hex soft is out of stock, ships in 1-2 *months.* Oof
@Ben Johnson They raised the price because of the Rick’s review, lol. He’s that powerful!
@chemgator64 I’ve hit both of the above and agree 100%. Nice try Callaway, but try a little harder…
@Austen Not any more lol
Rick….thanks for reaching out to Callaway and letting them know so they could double the price of these balls before your video dropped. 👍👍 🤣😅😂
180 canadian for a 24 pack now…good lord
‘Reaching out’? Does that mean the same as contacting.
In which case why not contacting?
yep, cant find these for less than 28 euro for 12 now, theyre literally double what he said
Well said. Almost 22,89€ for a dozen now.
$60.62 cad
Almost nothing better than you doing equipment reviews. Great look at a ball probably 90% of us could use over a “premium” ball
Great review Rick, so good you’ve pushed the price up to £21 😂😂
Literally came into the comments to say this, £13.99 now becomes £21.99 which is now more than standard Supersoft 🤦♂
I used to get the Hex Tour Soft that were at Costco and I really liked them. Very soft and decent distance.
However, I did see some ball review videos recently that suggested you leave distance and control around the green out there using “soft” balls and that harder premium balls really will make a difference to my game.
I’ve bought a load of Titleist Pro V1X’s and I don’t think I will go back. Now it is winter months I will probably use less premium balls but once we get back to spring it will be back to the Titleists!
Enjoyable as ever Rick. I loved your reaction to possibly hitting the club house. Quality video just like always.
Thanks for the review Rick. I think I’m going to give them a try, just to see how they affect my game. I’m a high handicaper, but the feel of a golfball does have a major affect on my confidence. Therefore, it also has an effect on my overall play. Let’s see how this goes.
Rick once again coming through for us everyday average golfers. I may have to go buy some of these, been using the Callaway super soft lately
Let’s be honest, he is a average golfer himself.
@Samuel Knott what handicap are you out of interest? 💁🏻♂️
Question (that may have been asked but honestly, I’m too lazy to read them all first): is the cooler weather affecting the ball, and hence it’s interaction with your club, and hence producing lesser results than expected in the Quad?
I’ve been using these balls for the last 6 months, and managed to get them on prime day sale for around 50p a ball, for someone that’s been playing a year I’ve noticed the benefits of them 🙌🏼 had a fresh batch delivered last week, good to know they get the seal of approval Rick
Hi Rick I’ve been playing with the Costco version of these for a long time. I agree that around the green, they tick all the boxes but for a high handicapper maximising distance isn’t as important as control around the green. I think they were around £28 for 2 dozen. Keep up the vids mate, still the best YouTuber by far 👍👍👍👏👏👏
☝️☝️☝️☝️ let’s talk..
Picked them up in costco in June for 24
I picked up two dozen of these earlier this year, and have been completely happy with them. For me I’ll take the softer feel and hitting fairways over the extra 10 yards any day.
Just checked in the States and a dozen of these is $23.99 and two dozen are $42.99. They are Prime so at least free shipping and ordered today should arrive on Friday.
That thinned wedge over the green and onto the clubhouse patio was hilarious. So glad you investigated that with a camera and included the footage in the review…class!
Loved the video! I would make just one suggestion on it, when doing this test you should have had the ball you play (prov1) to establish the baseline for the shots, especially on the driver. It could have been just that day that the ball wasn’t going as far, and you would have been able to tell if you hit the Prov1 Side by side with it.
Love the content and keep up the great work!
Rick over exaggerates his numbers a little bit too..
I would be curious to see you do a break 75 with a golf ball like this. I wonder how you’d do with the trade off of length vs accuracy!
