Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
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!

Few of my Granny's old walking sticks could perform better. 😂😂😂
Check Tony Finau's Ping Mini putter, it's kinda same
Just what golf needs, more cack to rip people off.
Should compare this to the Tony Finau one 😂
I don't care that it's got the Ballesteros name on it, Seve's shaking his head at this, certainly with the way it's marketed.
To use a small putter like that you would need to commit to it for a period of time to get comfortable with it…
“It’s all in the hips, all in the hips”
Seve' was the whole reason I picked up a club. Such a strong competitor.
It looks like a mini croquet mallet
I think i get the idea behind it, but its not worth anywhere close to that price point.
I've tried this a couple times in American golf. One thing for sure though it feels amazing while putting. But completely agree to expensive
Not for me. Really expensive little hammer.
Seve used a putter like this I seem to remember?
Seems like a good self defence weapon
"One of the reviews?" It only has one review. Also, the putter isn't exclusive to American Golf. iB Putter offers them on their website and other stores.
$349… golf companies blatantly rip off their customers
Might have helped Rory about 6 weeks ago!
Ugly the putter also 🤪
It looks like a £325 cimmick putter , with the famous surname this putter would be selling for £30 tops at sports direct or something
Gimmick or not it’s ugly as sin and priced up against brand new tour proven Odyssey putters. There’s better options for a third of the price out there. Should have marketed it as a training aid and sold it for 75 dollars.
Both putters look ridiculous tbh. But each to their own
Who? Out of his mind charging $300+ for a little machined piece of metal. Also one of the ugliest clubs I've ever seen. I wouldn't even pay $20 for that
I’ve tried vintage putters like that and they where very unreliable. 🤷♀️
2:35 How is that a nasty lipout? You damn near missed the hole lol
Training aid, average joe could shank with that thing.
People have done tests with ramps that send balls on a perfect line / speed at the hole and some putts STILL miss because they hit a bump or an imperfection in the green. Perfect putters don't exist.
I tried one at American Golf. It seemed pretty forgiving due to its mass. It felt really good. I didn't try long putts, but the price put me off. I quite fancy making one.
Sound feasible to you?
they found a way to use less material and charge more
I see the theory. smaller head means better focus and less slop. but I need forgiveness.
I don’t have this putter, but I have an old acuity putter. 100% face balanced and heavy.
The way I use it is bringing it back to “%” that I think it needs, and just letting the head weight do the swing for me. Honestly much better consistency than my odyssey redball putter.
@ricksh. I think the point is to improve shorter puts. IE under 10 ft. If I sunk even 30-50% more of my “short puts” my score would improve drastically. For most people I feel this would apply as well as the fact that most normal golfers puts over 15-20 ft it really doesn’t matter if I use a cobblers mallet or a pool que if I sink them I look at it as having a great day. (I would say I sink on average 3 out of 10 of my puts of 15ft or longer and 5 -7 out of 10 at 14 ft or shorter so to improve my short puts by 30 to 50% would probably better my scorecard by at least 3-5 strokes per 9 holes which would be a huge improvement overall. And I think that is what they where focusing on here
Looks bloody awful!
So obviously a terrible idea its an abuse of the Ballesteros legacy.
I tried this putter out in American Golf… It is a gimmick! If you have the slightest off-centre hit with it, it misses the target by a country mile. I once bought two wedges from MD Golf because of them having Seve Ballesteros's signature on them, they two turned out to be expensive gimmicks. Once bitten twice shy… Believe me, if it ain't got the quality branding name on it, it ain't worth the purchase… I’d be reluctant to part with 349 washers for that putter 😂
I don’t think I would spend that type of money on that putter, I could buy a better driver or irons for that
Why did you read other reviews before trying it. You were already swayed against it. Pointless
What junk, its been done and it sux. Dollar bins are filled with these stubs, it's a training aid.
Hang on. At 7:00 I’m sure I heard a V10 downshifting.
Let's play croquet with it….😂😂😂😂😂😂
Overpriced garbage
Reckon you should have tried the same 7 putts in a line and then 70 foot putts with the LAB putter…..the we might have known for sure!
Honestly Rickie it's not the putter it's you
