In this video Rick Shiels PGA golf professional heads out to The Marriott Worsley Park Golf & Country Club to review one of the worlds most LOFTED golf clubs!
The hummingbird wedge boasts 70° of loft and is a crazy lob wedge!
Rick will test the lob wedge out of the bunker, from full shots & will also try to play an extreme lob shot over the head of one VERY brave golfer!

Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This UKposts 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.

Hey rick! I’m a mechanical engineering major and was also curious how high the ball went so I did some math. With the info you gave (85 mph club head speed, 70 degrees loft (ish), 23 total yards, and about 3 seconds of flight time) I found that the ball went about 75 feet in the air. This isn’t exact cause of the rough perimeters given. But it gives you some idea at least!

@jubuttib 2 роки тому

Would be interesting to hear what the launch angle actually was. Looking at TXG's recent test of the Kirkland Signature vs. SM8 wedges, with a 56° wedge the launch angle was around 30-32°, and with a 60° wedge it was around 31-34°, depending on the shot. That's with wedges that really grip the ball and give you high spin, so if this was a lower spin wedge (as Rick mentioned it might be) then it could launch higher, but still I'd be surprised if it was anything like 70° degrees.

@Reavix1 2 роки тому

As a total distance travelled through the air with the curve, or at the apex height?

@mitchdavies8415 2 роки тому

@Reavx the ball carried 23 yards, or 69 feet, and considering it’s a 70 degree club, I highly doubt Brian means the total length of the curve was 75 feet…

@willmc4403 2 роки тому

@@golf398 It seems like that would be an upper bound, since air resistance would only slow the descent, and I don't see another force that could be acting on the ball

I've never been big into golf, but my late father was quite the enthusiast. Contrary to what some say about lofting golf balls, I recall times when my father practiced his loft (flop) shots. He'd instruct me to stand still and would tell me, "Stay put and try to catch the golf ball after I hit it." It was astonishing how many of those balls were within catching range, and he never once risked hitting me.

@thecringegolfer 3 роки тому

I have a Wilson 68 degree Superfly wedge that was only $30. It's not as pretty as the one you test, but works probably as good. It works great in the sand, for flop shots and surprisingly enough, I also use it for a bump and run shots from dirt lies around the green on my home junk course (it has severe drought damage). Also if you deloft it, you get more distance.

@daveshannon6563 3 роки тому

Wow, love the idea of that wedge, but as you said you'd probably only use it a couple of times a round, over priced. But I'm with you on the stripe, I like that idea.

Yesterday I holed in a 60 yard chip on a long par 4 for my first ever birdie with my 56 degree sand wedge. What's funny is I didn't even hit it well, it was kind of a line shot (but with some loft). It bounced on the green and rolled a little bit towards the flag and it went IN. For a guy who's only a few years into this game and shoots 105-110 on a regular day, it was sure as hell a moment of a lifetime.

@dathyr1 2 роки тому

I have had a 70 degree wedge for 3-4 years now and it is an awesome club in certain situations. The ball really gets up in the air quickly and can stop almost on dime when it lands on the green. Just have to make sure I dont get too much under the ball, cause I have taken some pretty good swings in thick grass with the wedge and i can get completely under the ball and the ball stays almost right where it originally was. You do need to practice some with a 70 degree wedge to get the feel of how far the ball will travel.

@michaelmathieson1114 2 роки тому

Just a question is there no legal limit to the loft of a club in the rules of golf

@dathyr1 2 роки тому

@@michaelmathieson1114 Good question. I havent heard about any, I assume if the club meets all the other standard specs of club making, it is probably legal. All you have to do is open or close the face on any club and you change the loft angle. So with my 70 degree wedge, i can even increase the loft on that club to maybe even a 75-80 degree wedge. My 70 degree wedge is great for short distances and dropping the golf ball next to the pin with not much green to work with.
