This new club is a real game changer.

Safe statement. Doesn’t say what direction your performance will go. Only that it will change.

I'm still convinced Rick's videos are the reason I cannot find the Costco Callaway tour edge set. They sold out within a week when that video first dropped. Now the price has gone up from $500 to $900. You're too popular in my area, Rick!

Ask Mark Crossfield! He got burned by Taylormade because they were butt hurt about one of his reviews. They even axed him from an R series driver release because of his honesty. I personally like impartial and brutally honest reviews. I love people letting me know that the quality is good or that they are making outrageous marketing claims.

[SwitchUpYt]

I love that this happens across all reviews!

[Q-Bits]

that guy from the hammer X driver (his "answer" to your review) was just pure gold. Never seen that many dislikes on a video. Please give us more honest reviews and more butthurt manufacturers. If you don't bring out good products that meet the companies claims, they deserve to get roasted.

[epicragegaming]

your reviews are always fair and mostly objective. things like sound, feel, and appearance are personal, and subject to your opinion.

Did you mean to point the arrow in thumbnail at Mizuno? 😆

[thehairygolfer]

The middle of the face is maxxed out and has been for years. They figured out how to max out heel and toe strikes years ago. The figured out how to sort out spin on high and low strikes years ago. They got them low spin for people of Ricks calibre in regard to club head speed mph which doesn't really help Joe Average and his 95mph.
The only trend that is worrying me is that driver shafts are getting longer. The last thing Joe Average needs is more shaft as he is struggling to square the face of 45 inches.
The only game changer they can make from here is worse for Joe Average.

Replace with Golf brands and their clubs.

This is 100% Taylormade not being happy with the comparison video recently to Kirkland wedges

I had a friend of mine who HATED Ping irons. He was a blade golfer and only played Mizuno's or Hogan Irons. I had Ping Eye 2's that he thought were rakes and shovels. lol I grew up with blades, but once I got used to Eye 2's, I was hooked to casted cavity backed irons. It comes down to opinion. Of course Rick tests everything which means he's in a good position to say what clubs are awesome and which clubs should be used as garden tools. Bottom line - each golfer needs to try things out for himself. Because YOU are the one who is going to play with them.

I think the two big areas you can improve distance is bulking up your strength doing weights and then the adjustments needed to the stands and body shape after you've driven ... both these things Bryson has adopted, , , a faster more powerful club head gained through training creates a bigger arc all round so the body needs to allow the swing to fully go round .

[two_toned_rooster]

My favorite is the hammer X response video. The level of butthurt that man had towards Rick 😂

[jamesgriffin]

I see a lot of comparison between new golf equipment and high end bicyles. Latest, greatest, got to have its. Chasing rainbows, fellas. It’s the indian not the arrow. My Callaway Hawkeye three wood is at least fifteen years old. I don’t think I would pick up any distance or accuracy with somethin’ new and shiny.

[ShawnyBGolf]

Can’t wait for the day some company complains to me about one my reviews. Haha

Funny how companies love when it’s positive and share links but cry when it’s negative. Hopefully most just take not and work on their product instead.

[natethegreat]

Rick speaks the truth. Unfortunately club makers can't really add a ton of distance anymore so club makers saying your going to gain 5 to 10 yards every year. A 5 year old club is just better than a new shiny one

[jamespickering]

if the brands are surprised by consumer / reviews then they are getting caught up in their own hype. Nothing is perfect for all golfers and that's what keeps them in business. Personally i love it when i hear an honest review - any chance of you reviewing Peter Finch's / Matt Fryer's swing? 👍

[PaintingwithEnrique]

This man isnt shrinking, Rick is growing.

[Slicktycoon]

I think an element missing in Rick's reviews is custom club fitting (Shaft etc).
