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 play the 301 CBs and have been singing their praises all season. Absolutely LOVE them!

[magnuscroify]

I play the 301CBs. I can say unequivocally there is NO reason to spend 2x as much on the other brands for a set of custom made irons. Like every other corporation in the world, the golf manufacturers are ripping us off. Go to Golf Galaxy or Club champion, get fitted for the specs you need (feigning interest in buying something there) and then send your specs to Takomo and get your new irons for half the price. They are workable, a bit more forgiving than pure blades, look fantastic/sleek, and have traditional, appropriate lofts. I don't need to hit a "6 iron" 220 yards - 195 will do just fine.

Love this review. I'm a big TM fan and love my clubs but can't help but feel that all the premium manufacturers are taking us mere mortals for a bit of a ride when it comes to the pricing of anything golf related. So much of our hard earned money is going into paying all of these already top earning tour players.

Brands like Takomo are showing that being much more affordable does not have to come at the cost of quality and performance.

When I next look at upgrading my clubs, I'll certainly be looking at manufacturers like Takomo and encouraging all my mates to do the same.

Well done Rick for providing a great unbiased review as always and Takomo for producing great equipment for more reasonable prices.

As a 101 owner I appreciate this, they are great clubs and glad they got some recognition from the biggest golf youtube channel

301CB / 301MB combo player here. Best irons I’ve hit in a long time, and I’ve played Mizuno and Callaway prior to. Solid clubs!

[detmostwant]

This is the video I've been waiting for! This is massive for Takomo.
I play the Takomo 101T irons and I have always compared them to the TaylorMade P790 in terms of look, feel and consistency. But they're HALF the price of the P790. Why would you ever want to pay more for the same thing?? Takomo to the moon!

[markwabinga]

I’ve been playing the second generation P790 for 2 years and love my irons. This past weekend used a friends Takomo 8 iron on a par 3. I was very impressed. Flew higher, had the same distance and felt better. If I knew about these irons before hand, I would’ve bought the Takomo for sure. 🤙🏽

[SteveFromStockport]

Great review, Rick! A lot of people have been waiting a long time for this one, and I think nobody will be very surprised at the outcome.

[thedude]

Rick, great review and I agree with every word… however I think you’re giving more credit to the big manufacturers than they deserve. If you look at the Taylor Made irons, they are almost identical to the old Mizuno T-zoid to give one example. This is true of most irons these days. It’s just a newer version of an old design in my opinion. The big manufacturers just have much higher overhead costs to cover than a company like Takomo.

[riprock]

I have the 101s and the 201s. Living in a cold climate, I start the season with the 101s, then as I get used to playing again, I move back into the 201s. Great quality clubs with excellent feel. Pretty much 2 iron sets for the price of one set of Taylormade.

[Chris]

Here is the thing I don't understand. When testing clubs you go straight at the pin. You do very well. On the course, you always seem to be trying to hit a high draw, low fade, big slinger, very rarely straight at the pin. Question 1. Would the test be better for you if you tried many shot shapes? Question 2. Could you play a few rounds where you take your prevailing shot shape and go at the pins? I am not good at golf. I imagine it would be very fun to shape shots at will but keeping it simple when possible could result in lower scores.

[asagers]

The sleeper set of the Takomo lineup are the 201s! I’ve had mine for a year and absolutely love them.

[ajtovar]

First started watching Rick for club reviews but now he's just the best golf content creator... period

[HotBrehd]

Glad to watch this. These two sets are genuinely the two that I’m between giving a go

[AMEN]

I got my 101s in February. 3 months later, i got my first hole in one! No need to get the most expensive clubs. Takomo clubs r just as good for cheaper!

[t_hizzy]

i just switched from the sim 2 max irons to some 101Ts and I absolutely love them

[PeekySports]

@6:58 "Every f*cking time" 😂

[DeeJayStrokes]

Put em in the bag Rick. Be the change golf needs. $650 irons play the same as $1000 irons.

By the way. I feel like RnD is now on what will make people purchase, not the clubs as much. All irons have tungsten in toe/heel and thinner/wider sole for the better or worse player. Hasn’t changed for 10 years.

[NiburuGaming]

commenting cause I bugged for these videos for ages. Talked my dad into buying them back in the spring and he loves his 101s, I had been trying to get you to review them cause he watches you as well :P

[CipherDesigns]

I have Takomo 101s and I'm super happy with them. Great clubs. Unbeatable price. And they look sleek.
