Mark Crossfield or Rick Shiels

Was, and still am to some extent a Parfield fan boy. But recently got into Rick Shiels and Peter Finch, which I am enjoying. To be honest I think they are 2 slightly different markets. Shiels does seem to get a bit caught up in the distance thing and most of his club reviews go on about how far he can hit it, which seems to be the be all and end all to him a lot of the time. Where as Parfield seems a lot more sceptical of the manufacturers claim and his message is constantly that it's all about the strike and contact. I like the vlogs he does when Rory, Blocky and Buzz Man come along as they are good value.

But he can come across as banging on about the same old things time after time. Much like me really. ;) And he does seem to take the mickey out of some of the comments he gets which is a bit dangerous, no matter how stupid they are (and I imagine he does see a whole lot of stupid stuff).

I do like the live lessons Parfield has started doing and if I had to chose one to coach me in real life it would be Parfield all the way. But I also really liked one of Shiels latest videos where he got a mid handicapper to hit the BB irons. As to me that is a lot more realistic and informative than sometimes seeing them hit them, as they always hit them very well and are not really representative of the vast majority of golfers. Also like the Monday night golf show Shiels and Finchy do as there's some good banter there.

So in conclusion, as I think they are both doing great stuff and we need people like this to improve the image and perception of the game, can I vote for both?
