Takomo Putters Are Taking Over?
Cobra owners have plenty to add beneath “Takomo Putters Are Taking Over?” Several viewers describe testing different brands before choosing Cobra, including one who says it was not even on their radar until they hit the clubs. Elsewhere in the discussion, golf-ball alignment markings get a practical request from a viewer who dislikes drawing on balls.
The Takomo episode is the most-watched of The Rick Shiels Golf Show's five new uploads, reaching roughly 6,300 views before its first day was over. Putter value also gets its own question in “How much should a putter cost 🤔,” while “If golf brands were real people...😉” gives equipment loyalties a more playful angle.
Away from shopping, “What would an 18 handicapper shoot at augusta 🤔” invites an amateur-golf thought experiment at the Masters venue. It is the channel's next most active video right now, behind the Takomo discussion. The week's other premise is rather less hypothetical-sounding: “He camped on an Island until he broke the course record...😳”.
Subscribers were unchanged, and daily viewing is running at less than half its usual pace. Nearby golf channel Seb On Golf also has an unchanged subscriber count and slower-than-usual daily views. For Shiels' podcast channel, the freshest equipment conversation is where most of the current activity sits.

What viewers say
When I got my first new set of irons I tested 6 different brands and Cobra was the standout for me. Still love them two years on
@JackBrown-o9kSee it on YouTubeI currently play the Cobra Optm X driver, and last years ds adapt X 3 wood and 7 wood. I fully completely understand what you guys were saying, the only reason I’m playing them is because I am an equipment nerd and hit almost every club when I was picking out my woods. Cobra was never on my radar until I hit them.
@dillonremygolfSee it on YouTube57:20 100% agreed Kirkland need to come up with a triple track alignment aid. I already use Kirkland Signature balls BUT I use The Taylormade Tour Response when putting. I also hate drawing on my golf balls 😅

Question. As someone that is not even close to good enough to buy a box of pro Vs. Is there a massive difference from say what I normally play AD333’s?
