I thought I would HATE this club.....I WAS WRONG!
In this video PGA Golf Professional Rick Shiels heads out to the Marriott Worsley Park Golf & Country Club to review a very strange golf putter.

At first glance the FGX putter may look like a Scotty Cameron Golf Putter, Odyssey Golf Putter or any other putter than you would see on The European Tour or The PGA Tour BUT the FGX is very different and Rick Shiels explains why in this video.

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 feel like weird new designs like this should be more affordable, a price point that suggest why not. rather than up there with a odyssey price.

"Why does this putter exist? Oh, that's why!"

[IanGW]

“Head Cover”
I feel this a putter this out of the ordinary would take some getting used to and that’s a given, but I also think it could work, the concept and statement the creators make are all accurate.

[christopherscherer]

Cannot be worse then a belly putter for awkwardness. Its worth a try! Thanks for the honest review rick.

Rick : I normally want my eyes over the ball.
Me : Yes me too
Rick : (holes the putt)
Me : I’m quitting golf

Jk love the video.

I'm a pro golfer that has had the yips for over 20 years. I became a halfway decent putter by using a chest putter (non anchored of course)
I picked one of these up last Sunday and the results have been incredible.
No yips and holing out from all over the place. I've gone from Lucas Glover to Jordan Speith in 5 days.
Cant recommended it enough.

"Head Cover!"

So I'm guessing this club is already in Bryson Dechambeau's bag.

I love "Innovations' and manufacturers trying to break the mold.
I sort of recall Chi Chi using a similar, extra-long putter, but used it in a similar 'traditional' manner (as opposed to broomstick-style).
This makes sense in the way that 'putting' with the FGX is similar to a full (or at least chipping), big muscle stroke, the stroke that you use on the other 1/2 of the shots we take. . .instead of what we do now where the on-the-green stroke technique is way-way different than all the strokes it took us to get there. Golf is 2 games that way. . .
Manufacturers sold us on the chipping technique of using a hybrid to putt around the green, so why not use similar technique on the green?

"head cover" its cool but not looking directly over the ball is kinda scary... You really gotta trust your line and your new putter ark.

[markreider]

I remember Bob Charles, HOF golfer, giving a putting tip in the mid ‘60s that kind of described this method - stand a bit further away, use a putter with a wide flat grip, and rotate the shoulders using mini regular golf swing. It produces a flatter stroke, but watching you use this putter reminded me of that. Broke par for the first time using that method and my old BullsEye. Interesting!

“Head cover”

I would actually love to try this putter out. My putting has been really inconsistent recently and I feel maybe a change in style might benefit haha!

[pkchopper]

I had an Elmer 2 which had an adjustable shaft angle. I'm 6'3" so the plan was to have it very straight up and down but after trial and error I set it very flat, like this new putter, and it worked unbelievably well. It definitely improved the strike and roll even though it looked and felt odd with it way out in front of me. I think the quality of the strike offset the alignment problem and I use lines on the ball anyway. (as should everyone). Now I have a more traditional Ping but when I'm struggling I'll push it out to find that solid strike. I think they'll sell! Cheers for the awesome vids Rick. :)

[HartlingBrosGolf]

"Headcover". Interesting idea. The putter head looks nice though.

[drjeckel]

Would LOVE a Rick Shiels head cover!


I love all of the reviews ... it would be so amazing to have the opportunities you have - the access to the clubs that everyone wants to try/test but doesn't have the time or money.


Gettin close to 1M Rick! Let's do it 2020!

[MrealmOfficall]

Me starting to watch the video:

This looks like one of those gimic putters like that s7k stand alone putter

Me after watching this video:

Ok it's alot to get used too but man this putter is no joke if you can make it though lol 😂

[andrewcrofts]

I bought this putter about a month before the lockdown . I have to say this rolls better than any of the many putters I've had before and I holed a lot of putts . It does take a bit of getting used to but well worth the effort .

[lewischelsea]

“Head cover” this putter is intriguingly good, If it was cheaper I’d probably give it a go!

[kenthomas]

That totally makes sense.Really, the putter stance is really the only different stance we use. I mean yes, we place the ball in different positions depending on the club used, but the stance is really quite similar. I've seen people putt with their feet together, their body in a completely different position like hunched over, or standing taller. But with this putter, you just stand like you would for any club. Way cool!
