Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This YouTube 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.

I've never seen rick look so casual lol

Just golfed with a friend who had a chipper, with 37 degree loft. That club is DEADLY with how easy it is to hit. We even got a bit crazy with our group and were hitting 135y tee shots with it and landing within 6' of the pin almost every time. Probably not good for the club but it actually felt really good taking a full swing and watching the perfect flight and just stick it. haha

I'm always happy to see Rick's equipment reviews.
They make me feel chipper.

Enjoyed Rick's review. Couple of observations from a PGA Yank:
Maybe the best thing about this chipper is that it will simplify club selection and promote using a chip and run type of shot vs a SW or LW where anything can happen.
I actually use my 8 & 9 irons a lot around the greens and while Rick is correct in wanting to get close to the ball to allow a putting stroke this also means the path of the club is straight back & straight thru which means it's difficult to hit off line. I dont mind having the heel of my 9 or 8 up in the air and here's why: granted your sweet spot get a little smaller with the heel in the air it also all but eliminates a chunked shot. With only the toe coming in contact with the ground there is very little resistance on the club head going thru. Just make certain to hit the ball first!

I bought a Hippo Chipper decades ago for about $20. Gladly replaced my 3 iron in the bag. I love this club and it’s made a big difference for me. With practice, these can definitely save you strokes. Also, since it was so cheap, I don’t mind using it for lies that might damage the bottom of my other clubs. Can’t say the same for the Ping

[ruffrider]

I really love your honesty about your own failings which helps you relate to us mid to higher handicappers. Keep up the great work.

[karlreardon]

Love my chipper had it for almost 20 years. Agree with everything Rick mentioned about its limited areas of use. However I've chipped in alot with my chipper and more likely to use this on the edge of the green than my putter

[alanrobison]

I’m still using the Wilson Chipper my Dad got me in 1981 when I started playing. It gets me out of trouble a lot! Curious what new technology would do for me. 41 years is a long time!

Bought Cleveland Chipper after watching Mark Crossfield. Unbelievably consistent, the real benefit is the bad shot still goes straight.

[JayTheTapp]

Love Rick's style of comment. Very honest reviews. I really like that he can put himself in the situation and point of view of us beginners. Found this channel randomly and is now my favorite!

[justinakelewicz]

Ive had a chipper for years and honestly i feel you are under-dogging what it can do. I have had great success as far as 30yrds out and have used it to come out of and shoot over bunkers. Dont down it until you have used it all around

[stevev]

I saw this video last week never thinking I wanted a chipper. Then went and bought a Cleveland Smart Sole 4 chipper. It works very well, takes some practice, but best with a putter grip and putter stroke. probably saved me at least two strokes the first round it was used.

[roshandon]

The current Cleveland chipper is absolutely amazing!! Great for those days I have the chipping yips within 20 yards

[fullysickshuffler]

I watched your fairway woods tutorial yesterday, went to the range and hit the best fairway shots of the ground I’ve ever hit. Legend mate

[alankearns]

Sounds like I might have to give it a try. I use my 7 iron (ping) with a putting stroke. I can see the more upright shaft being an advantage.

[nickbryan]

I’m a 13 hdcp and I started using a chipper from Cleveland, art of their smart sole line. Shot my best round of 82 at a course I usually struggle to break 90. Had a few finish close but my worst chips I 2 putted. With traditional wedges or short irons I’d be good for 3-4 duffs or bladed chips. I feel like I’ll save 5-7 shots a round. Maybe more once I really get a feel for it. Today was the first time I used it exclusively for a round. Took my lob wedge out of the bag.

[shawncarter]

I think Rick has the most honest, thorough reviews out there (golf and otherwise). Thank you, Rick !

[RayGorman]

Ping began making the "Chipo" since the late 70's, early 80's. There was a lull, obviously, but they've probably gone to the nostalgia well and re-issued this one. The Original Chipo's are highly sought after in the secondary market and can go for a decent amount.

[earthops]

that chip right into the bunker at the beginning made me chuckle. Thanks Rick.

I bought the Cleveland Smart Sole chipper last week. I agree with everything Rick said. But, I will have more situations around the green to use the chipper than I will worry about hitting the green from 180 out. For that reason I took the 5 iron out of the bag. I have a 6 I can hit 180 and a 4 hybrid I can hit 200. I would never and have never used the 5 iron. I still have 3 wedges but the chipper will and has been used. It takes some practice to get the distances and roll out dialed in but I can see this in the next month knocking off 5 strokes. I am low 90's looking to be consistant in the high 80's. This will get me there. Unlike Rick I have the room in my game for this type of improvement.
