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.

  • 0:00 | as you can see I’ve been shopping again
  • 0:03 | I bought some golf clubs from Amazon
  • 0:05 | that could be game changing
  • 0:09 | however they could also be ones to avoid
  • 0:12 | [Music]
  • 0:17 | so the golf clubs I’ve bought are three
  • 0:19 | wedges from Amazon and I’ll tell you why
  • 0:22 | I’m excited it’s this top line of their
  • 0:25 | description hands down the best quality
  • 0:29 | forged wedges that are made in the same
  • 0:32 | Factory as today’s top golf clubs it’s a
  • 0:36 | bold claim now there’s three wedges in
  • 0:39 | this box and I paid
  • 0:41 | 180 pounds for three wedges sixty pound
  • 0:44 | of wedge that’s pretty good because
  • 0:46 | today I went online actually looked at
  • 0:48 | the current price of one single Titleist
  • 0:52 | folky wedge and it’s a 160 pound just
  • 0:54 | for one wedge so if these wedges are as
  • 0:58 | good as the brand they’re claiming I’m
  • 1:00 | excited to see how they are going to do
  • 1:03 | I want to test these for looks for feel
  • 1:05 | for spin for durability and and just see
  • 1:09 | if they’re actually really good value or
  • 1:12 | as I mentioned whether they’re just ones
  • 1:14 | to avoid
  • 1:16 | now I’ll be honest I’ve also had a lot
  • 1:18 | of you guys watching asking me to review
  • 1:20 | these wedges they’re called Lazarus a
  • 1:23 | brand I’ve never heard of they seem to
  • 1:26 | be selling like hot cakes on Amazon at
  • 1:28 | the moment they’ve actually got a 4.5
  • 1:30 | star review rating currently with over 2
  • 1:34 | 000 reviews it’s all well and good
  • 1:36 | Amazon reviews but reviewed by me today
  • 1:39 | let’s open these up and see what they
  • 1:41 | look like
  • 1:43 | there’s loads of different colors
  • 1:45 | actually but I actually went for the
  • 1:47 | pretty much stealth out black one so as
  • 1:49 | you can see very well packaged
  • 1:51 | um sold as a set do not separate so
  • 1:57 | keeping the price value there that you
  • 1:59 | need to buy the three and give me two
  • 2:02 | minutes because I think I’m gonna need
  • 2:03 | something sharp to open this one minute
  • 2:05 | 37 seconds later okay so we’ve got a
  • 2:08 | knife let’s open these up now typically
  • 2:10 | with cheaper golf clubs one of the big
  • 2:14 | telltale signs is the grip quality often
  • 2:16 | it’s somewhere where they kind of I
  • 2:19 | don’t know maybe keep more of a budget
  • 2:21 | so I’m going to start with the grip of
  • 2:22 | these clubs
  • 2:24 | actually feel pretty good quite tacky
  • 2:26 | you know they feel very very well put on
  • 2:29 | they smell all right that’s also a real
  • 2:32 | weird one with low quality grips it
  • 2:35 | always absolutely stink but these
  • 2:38 | actually look like really good quality
  • 2:39 | grips they don’t look like they’re from
  • 2:40 | a brand as such but yet so far so good
  • 2:43 | on the grip quality we’ll see if they’re
  • 2:45 | on straight in a minute
  • 2:47 | more importantly let’s have a look what
  • 2:49 | the heads look like
  • 2:51 | pretty well packaged two hours later
  • 2:55 | we’re getting there a little bit of
  • 2:57 | spiel
  • 3:00 | we really appreciate you oh thanks guys
  • 3:05 | the premium golf clubs that you bought
  • 3:07 | are made in the same Factory as some of
  • 3:09 | the best brands in the world they are
  • 3:11 | making a big deal about that for a
  • 3:14 | fraction of the price
  • 3:16 | you’re asking how is this possible right
  • 3:18 | well we have a direct to Consumer
  • 3:20 | pricing model which means no middleman
  • 3:23 | so that’s basically how they’re saying
  • 3:25 | that they’re actually making the savings
  • 3:27 | Lazarus golf is a small family-owned
  • 3:29 | company trying to do big things in the
  • 3:31 | golf space very good right it’s a bit of
  • 3:34 | Spiel a bit of family background but
  • 3:36 | more important let’s have a look at
  • 3:37 | these wedges
  • 3:38 | so I’ve got three of them 52 a 56 and a
  • 3:41 | 60. tell you what again all looks very
  • 3:44 | well packaged very well protected I’ve
  • 3:45 | got no concerns it’s going to be any
  • 3:47 | damage on these wedges wow you know what
  • 3:53 | that’s actually a good looking wedge
  • 3:55 | that is a good looking wedge I like that
  • 3:57 | black finish it’s quite simple with the
  • 4:00 | kind of sky blue lettering of Lazarus
  • 4:02 | and this kind of L milled Forge the face
  • 4:07 | wow that honestly genuinely that looks
  • 4:10 | good it has got some friction to it you
  • 4:13 | can feel it I don’t think I could have a
  • 4:15 | shave with it but you can definitely
  • 4:16 | feel and see the actual grooves and the
  • 4:19 | Milling of the face there
  • 4:22 | I like that I like the look of that a
  • 4:24 | lot grip is on
  • 4:28 | straight-ish not perfect but I’ll give
  • 4:30 | them a pass with that
  • 4:32 | a little bit of offset on the on the
  • 4:34 | actual neck weight of the club yeah it
  • 4:37 | feels good like it’s got a really good
  • 4:39 | way
  • 4:40 | so far I’m impressed with that a couple
  • 4:43 | of call out features straight away
  • 4:45 | there’s no on a lot of now modern wedges
  • 4:47 | you see the Loft and the bounce and
  • 4:49 | sometimes now the grind there’s none of
  • 4:51 | that this is quite simplistic 56 degrees
  • 4:54 | it’s probably got about eight to ten
  • 4:57 | degrees of bounce on the bottom yeah
  • 5:00 | very good so far these clubs for me pass
  • 5:04 | the Lux test and they have come in
  • 5:07 | absolutely pristine condition right
  • 5:09 | without further Ado let’s get hit in
  • 5:11 | some of these clubs
  • 5:13 | these look very promising
  • 5:14 | [Music]
  • 5:16 | all right then first shot let’s go let’s
  • 5:18 | see how they feel
  • 5:26 | okay Grant I didn’t check that first one
  • 5:29 | in but it actually felt quite good off
  • 5:31 | the face I just hit it way too hard
  • 5:38 | I felt nice
  • 5:40 | initial feels just off the very very
  • 5:42 | first two
  • 5:44 | it’s quite easy for a lot of Brands to
  • 5:46 | kind of stamp on this word forged
  • 5:49 | certainly if it’s kind of a little bit
  • 5:50 | of a lesser-known brand but actually
  • 5:52 | feels really soft like off the face
  • 5:56 | that feels as soft as any premium wedge
  • 5:59 | I’ve tested
  • 6:03 | that’s actually pretty good
  • 6:14 | nice very nice
  • 6:17 | [Applause]
  • 6:20 | the car all the champagne the car orbit
  • 6:24 | ends
  • 6:26 | now I’m not really going for the flag
  • 6:28 | here I’m just working out feel
  • 6:31 | that’s my excuse anyway but I am I’m
  • 6:33 | really just focusing on actually how
  • 6:35 | these wedges feel off the face
  • 6:37 | so I’m gonna go I’m gonna go 56 first
  • 6:39 | and 60.
  • 6:45 | I felt really good actually they do feel
  • 6:48 | so good
  • 6:54 | making them a little bit too strong I’m
  • 6:56 | gonna go one more with the 56.
  • 7:04 | I’ve hit them a bit hard but feel wise I
  • 7:08 | honestly cannot complain with that at
  • 7:09 | all let’s go 60 next okay that’s
  • 7:12 | interesting actually 60.
  • 7:14 | just behind the balls got quite a
  • 7:16 | different shaping
  • 7:18 | it’s like it’s a lot more kind of round
  • 7:20 | and almost more like a spoon
  • 7:22 | both the 52 and the 56 do have that kind
  • 7:25 | of curved bottom but this looks like
  • 7:26 | it’s been exaggerated a touch more
  • 7:32 | oh that felt really good
  • 7:35 | just sitting these a little bit hard but
  • 7:36 | they feel really good
  • 7:40 | I’ll thin that one
  • 7:41 | not a bad result considering I hit it so
  • 7:43 | bad
  • 7:44 | yeah you know what genuinely I don’t
  • 7:46 | have to hit a lot of shots there to tell
  • 7:48 | you the feel of these wedges so on these
  • 7:50 | little short shots is exceptional very
  • 7:52 | impressed
  • 7:54 | these are some of the softest wedges
  • 7:55 | I’ve ever ever tested even just doing
  • 7:58 | this like it just feels good off the
  • 8:00 | face now there’s a little bit in the
  • 8:01 | fact that the the shaft is a little bit
  • 8:03 | soft it almost dampens that kind of
  • 8:05 | vibration but they do feel great off the
  • 8:08 | face
  • 8:09 | these are the best wedges that have been
  • 8:11 | released this year I mean that’s a bit
  • 8:13 | weird bold shout right let’s see if this
  • 8:15 | spin
  • 8:16 | 100 yard golf shot GC quad
  • 8:19 | got my 56 degrees I’m gonna see if it
  • 8:22 | spins kind of numbers wise anything
  • 8:24 | close to 10 000 RPM is pretty good we
  • 8:27 | also see how they react on the green as
  • 8:29 | well
  • 8:30 | let’s see how they say with some longer
  • 8:32 | goal shots it’s almost a full shot for
  • 8:34 | me from here
  • 8:41 | you know I pushed it a touch
  • 8:44 | okay it stopped dead wasn’t my best golf
  • 8:47 | shot I’ve ever hit so carry there was
  • 8:49 | pretty much spot on 102 yards but it’s
  • 8:51 | only spun just under 6 000 RPMs not
  • 8:53 | stupid amount to spin it stops straight
  • 8:56 | around the green I reckon I can actually
  • 8:58 | strike one better than that though
  • 9:02 | foreign
  • 9:12 | yeah not bad at all
  • 9:14 | does feel good the only thing I’m
  • 9:16 | picking up at the moment and just
  • 9:18 | alluded to it a minute ago I feel like
  • 9:20 | the shaft is probably the cheapest
  • 9:22 | element of this golf club it just feels
  • 9:24 | like there’s a bit of a I don’t know a
  • 9:26 | kick on the way down which is definitely
  • 9:29 | helping with that softness but making it
  • 9:32 | don’t know less stable coming down I’d
  • 9:34 | say
  • 9:35 | spin right there in the 7000s which is
  • 9:37 | good
  • 9:42 | this could be nice sit down a bit
  • 9:46 | oh it’s gone big that was a weird one
  • 9:49 | that that carried 111 yards well I can’t
  • 9:53 | really hit a 56 degree 111 yards now I’m
  • 9:56 | not picking up on that as being a
  • 9:58 | positive either like I don’t want to hit
  • 10:00 | it 10 yards further than my intended
  • 10:02 | target it spun a little bit more over 8
  • 10:05 | 000 RPM that time
  • 10:06 | but yeah I
  • 10:09 | I feel like this bit of the club is
  • 10:13 | really impressing me the feel and the
  • 10:15 | looks I’m feeling the shaft I mean it’s
  • 10:17 | got no band on it I’m not sure where
  • 10:19 | it’s from this is where I feel like
  • 10:21 | they’re kind of cheapened the products
  • 10:22 | where they get that saving from I guess
  • 10:25 | um let’s hit one more into this full
  • 10:27 | green it shouldn’t that shouldn’t have
  • 10:29 | gone as far as it did
  • 10:38 | but even that’s gone miles I’m just
  • 10:42 | gonna hit one more because it’s
  • 10:44 | confusing me this it feels like I’m
  • 10:46 | struggling to know how the ball is going
  • 10:49 | to come off the face depending on where
  • 10:50 | this kind of shaft kicks God it was
  • 10:53 | seeming very positive but I think I
  • 10:56 | think I found my biggest negative of
  • 10:57 | this set of clubs of these wedges
  • 11:02 | thank you
  • 11:04 | ah
  • 11:06 | now granted I hit a couple of bad shots
  • 11:08 | then I fatted one and thinned one but
  • 11:11 | overall I felt like I lost trust in what
  • 11:16 | the outcome was going to be like was it
  • 11:17 | gonna go 10 yards longer was it going to
  • 11:19 | go up much higher or I just felt like
  • 11:21 | the shaft was having far too much
  • 11:23 | influence on the result now it’s a shame
  • 11:25 | because everything around the greens was
  • 11:28 | so positive to kick things off I’m also
  • 11:31 | intrigued to test these out the bunkers
  • 11:33 | they’re going to redeem themselves and
  • 11:35 | what’s this wear gonna be like on this
  • 11:37 | black finish especially because it comes
  • 11:39 | in all these different color options
  • 11:40 | those rainbow ones look a bit mad
  • 11:43 | um is this finish actually going to last
  • 11:46 | so already I’m seeing a tiny bit of
  • 11:48 | scratching so positives a feel
  • 11:50 | definitely some of the best wedges I’ve
  • 11:51 | tested this year negatives on the full
  • 11:53 | shots I didn’t know how far the wedges
  • 11:55 | were going to go it just felt very
  • 11:56 | unpredictable and I honestly would put
  • 11:58 | that down to the shaft wholeheartedly
  • 12:01 | last test bunk shots I’m going to double
  • 12:04 | test this because these are in Black
  • 12:06 | finishes black finish golf clubs do have
  • 12:09 | a tendency of kind of wearing and
  • 12:11 | starting to look quite dated very
  • 12:12 | quickly so out sand the rough surface
  • 12:15 | how these Lazarus reg is going to
  • 12:17 | perform and also how they’re actually
  • 12:19 | going to perform out the bunker anyway
  • 12:20 | so that’s it these shots
  • 12:23 | they do look very inviting as like I
  • 12:25 | said it’s quite a bit of offset on the
  • 12:26 | neck
  • 12:27 | but that doesn’t massively offend me out
  • 12:29 | of a bunker
  • 12:33 | oh that came out nice
  • 12:36 | came out really nice
  • 12:38 | that’s it these ones
  • 12:40 | [Music]
  • 12:52 | that one stopped really quick to be
  • 12:54 | honest with you they’re coming out very
  • 12:56 | very very easily like it does these
  • 12:58 | wedges make this particular shot feel
  • 13:01 | easy and I’ve just over hit them a tiny
  • 13:04 | bit but I’m kind of used to using a
  • 13:06 | little bit more Loft out the bunker
  • 13:08 | let’s go one more
  • 13:12 | go in oh
  • 13:14 | they’re all past the flag they’ll give
  • 13:15 | it a bit of a chance
  • 13:19 | let’s have a look at this
  • 13:24 | look at this things were going really
  • 13:25 | well there were lots of Promise these
  • 13:29 | wedges
  • 13:30 | but with the lower price point you’ve
  • 13:32 | got to expect some negativity I found in
  • 13:36 | this test negativity on the full shots
  • 13:38 | and
  • 13:39 | negativity there
  • 13:42 | on the face out of those shots out the
  • 13:44 | bunker there is lots of wear and tear
  • 13:47 | that black finish just has not lasted
  • 13:51 | that’s a real shame that really is
  • 13:54 | there’s promise there is are they the
  • 13:56 | best wedges for this price point
  • 13:58 | the one of the better ones all the ones
  • 14:01 | I’ve tested in the past as well with the
  • 14:02 | Kirkland Signature wedges they were
  • 14:04 | really good and they’re about the same
  • 14:05 | price for three they’re not bad but
  • 14:08 | they’re not perfect but as I mentioned
  • 14:10 | they’re a fraction of the price compared
  • 14:13 | to a lot of the wedges guys thanks for
  • 14:14 | watching stay tuned lots more to come
  • 14:15 | like And subscribe we’ll see you next
  • 14:17 | time

    you get what you deserve for sending your manufacturing overseas…
    Brunswick, a US billiard table manufacturer, (used to be anyway) sent most of their manufacturing overseas.
    did my research and found the factory the tables components were being made.
    bought an exact match of 9ft gold crown 5 without the badges freighted to my door for just over a quarter of the price with a chair and a light!
    Its a 10k USD table and I got it flat pack delivered for 3k with a nice led panel light and two seat billiard chair.
    its crazy the gouge these companies do. if I could have afforded a diamond I would have bought one.

    Callaway PM'S and Titleist Vokey sm's are my go to for wedges. MacGregor has an impressive line of Wedges and Irons I wouldn't mind trying. Rick, do you think you could do a review on the MacGregor Irons and wedges in the future?

    Put a Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shaft in that bad boy and see if it changes the performance.

    I had a wedge in a black finish and while it does wear off quickly, it gives good feedback as to where you strike the ball. I had a pretty solid circle in the center of the club face. It was a 52° so it was mainly for full shots.

    I bought the Kirkland wedges. They were being discontinued and went on sale for $120 for the set of 3. I had been looking at them for a while and that sale price made me pull the trigger. Absolutely love them. Lots more spin than the Lazarus wedges. The weak point was the grip, but that is easily fixed. I definitely prefer the chrome finish over the black.

    Matt Fryer managed to control the full shots. Probably because he is a better golfer. The black vokey wedges will show the same wear out of a bunker. You needed to test it against another Wedge. Then we would have seen it is you not the club. I suggest people check out Matt Fryers review as it is much more balanced
