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.

Big John’s putter! Seen that putter in a DOD KING video and it boggled my mind😂

[martinnohl]

3:01 Metallica vibes. 🎶🎶Putt with one eye open... Gripping your putter tight🎶🎶😂😂😂

[nate]

Big John is my hero. Get him on the channel

Back in the 80's there was the Orizaba Basakwerd putter. From a video I saw, Johnny Miller and Gene Littler were among those who used one.

[stuartpitcher]

I have a basackward. It's good fun. Everything comes back around given time.

[wbbwtfo]

There was a putter like that back in the day. It was called the Bassackwards.

[KH-hbpr]

Strange looking but in all seriousness, surly the most productive way to test any putter would be on a pure straight put with no break, that way the results of the putter being tested would not be punished for a bad read!!

[gagaming]

Does this mean you made a video with dod king? Big John plays that putter

[jpdst]

I first saw this putter when I was watching Big John and the DOD king. I was thinking to myself, “what the hell kind of putter is that???”
I would never buy one, but it was interesting to watch your review on it.

[Grannysgolf]

Dod king and Big john would be great to have on the channel

The trick will always be finding a putter that feels good in your hand and matches the stroke you want to use. For me, I ended up making my own so I could put face-on... I found having actual depth perception allowed me to trust my line. Whatever works for you, no matter how gimmicky needs to be what you go with. I used walnut, added a bunch of tungsten to give it a little weight and then epoxied a 1/8" thick piece of aluminum on the base, used an inexpensive Apollo driver/fairway wood shaft for the length. Looks amazing, works great (for me). I went from 3 or (ghasp) 4 putting to 2 and 3 putting. It's saved me at least 10 strokes per round, broke 85 for the first time ever despite hitting horrible tee shots all day. It's all about the short game!

I bought a putter of that design once on eBay! Don't think it was branded at all, but I polished the brass up and gave it to my friend as a bachelor party gift.

[montegustafson]

Did some digging and found that the original of this design was named the Orizaba Basakwerd. Gene Littler and Johnny Miller both used it and won with it. goes around comes around....

[michaelmclean]

I made a putter similar to that over 20 years ago out of a Zebra putter. Bent shaft backwards at a 10° angle. The ideal was that you swing it like a pendulum straight back and straight through. It had a more upright shaft and perfect balance. I used it for two years. Didn’t seem any better than a regular putter!?!

[prebenpedersen]

Used a Dunlop retro for years back in the 90`s. Almost same principle. Shaft in the toe with a twist

[scottvernon]

I used a very similar putter 35 years ago. I can’t remember the make but it was brilliant, used it for about 10 years. The idea was it stops the yips! Edit: found it! The Dunlop Retro

[hillbillychrist]

Slotline putters had alignment marks that let you know when the face was square. It was up to you to get the line on the ball lined up with the hole. It didn’t really change much because you still have to follow through to the hole or the line of your putt. I often see people poking at the ball and their wrists move slightly and the ball gets pushed or pulled. Pick a point ahead of the ball and putt through that point. If you have read the hole right, then it goes in. This might sound goofy but if someone made a flat shafted putter that is set up right, you can see the reflection on the shaft and that would be the pin or the hole. It would still be in regs and if you got it right it would be hard to miss.

[homeofinventions]

It has been done before. It was the basackwerd.

[joshuagrimm]

Man what a crazy putter! For a guy like me who just hasn’t figured out putting as of yet - something like this actually intrigues me. If you’re going to suck at putting you might as well have a badass looking putter.

[alexcodes]

I’ve been using seemore putters for years, more conventional than this but same idea. Love them
