    Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This UA-cam 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.

      From what I know: you're always gonna hit a little draw/fade, the scale of this should ofcourse become smaller when you're trying to hit it straight but it will still occur. You probably have a "natural flight" so a draw or a fade

      Tip. As a long time strong fader borderline slicer with my driver. There were 3 things I changed.
      1. Found a routine for initial driver set-up. Get your driver in position first then set your stance up
      2. Make sure your shaft is strait..not leaning forward of the ball. This causes slice. That helped a lot.
      3. Dropped my backfoot back slightly less than an inch.
      Result. Last 16 of 18 drives have been down the middle either strait or with a slight fade or slight draw.

  • @rafabonati7757
    @rafabonati7757 3 роки тому

    Rick,
    I am hopeful that you will read this. As a senior, and brand new golfer, I had 6 lessons from a pro. He saw that my natural drive is a draw, and he was pleased with that. It could be why he didn’t teach me the fade shot. I have played twice so far, and practice at the range. My drives have been inconsistent, but good ones go about 210-230 yards, either perfectly straight or with a draw. But today, I practiced the fade using everything you taught me. I could not be happier with the results. After a few boo boos, I started hitting every single one well past the 200 yard flag. They were ALL perfect fades, carrying to the target about 240-250 yards. The course I am learning at has very narrow fairways, so I will be using the fade shot now. I can’t wait! Thank you for this lesson. This is a HUGE step in the right direction. Hey new golfers, you need to pay attention to this lesson and practice it!

    Another great, really informative video. Great job with the graphics and breaking it all down in a way that a golfer of moderate skill can understand. The graphics are really helpful as well. I've watched pretty much all of the other mainstream instructional golf channels on youtube and for whatever reason Rick's lessons always seems to make sense right off the break, without having to watch them half a dozen times.

  • @kimkarzin2831
    @kimkarzin2831 3 роки тому +1

    Rick, you make it look so easy, I guess that’s why you’re pro. If I could just get the club face the way you explained it should be, then I could most likely hit both shots but, I always come through impact with just a little bit open face and if I try to correct it, I end up closed face and hit it to the left, so now I have to swing inside out just to get it from going right. Would love to see a video on how to control the club face from opening or closing. Great video Rick, as always.

    • @investsmarterwithdewittcap4064
      @investsmarterwithdewittcap4064 3 роки тому

      For me, practicing with a closed face helps because it forces you to rotate your body more, get the handle forward, and get your hands out of it. I literally will set up with the club 25° closed and swing and just rotate hard holding the face off. It's a good drill for me at least

    Hey Rick I’m an 18 year old whose recently got into golf and just had my first lesson. It has become aware to me the difference good clubs can make. My current set is probably worth about £50 over all (irons, pitching wedge and a driver). They aren’t very good quality. Do you have any tips on where to get good value clubs, or any change of a giveaway?

    Thank you. I have been trying these tips out. Using your simple tips for drawing the ball I have noticed a big improvement. But rather than hitting a draw that starts right and comes back to the center, I hit a pull which goes straight down the middle.... AND 25 yards farther than my typical drive! (Typical drive is a weak spinny fade that is in the fairway, but short.)

  • @jarrett5546
    @jarrett5546 10 місяців тому +1

    It’s wild the effect you’ve had on my game. I’m a very visual learner and these graphics are spot on what I need. Played my first round ever about 4 months ago and shot a miraculous 116. Just played my 18th round ever and scored a 77 on a par 72. All thanks to you and your videos. Seriously thank you dude. Took me from a +30 HCP to a +9.4 I can hardly believe it myself. I went from being completely unable to strike my irons, to lacing them fairly nicely. Now to get shot shaping down and I’m set.

  • @matthewdefee171
    @matthewdefee171 2 місяці тому

    Good video with simple, conservative, tweaks to accomplish the shots. The only additional features I would have liked to have discussed are the follow throughs/finishes with the arms & hands. Higher hands finishing around the neck to fade, and lower hands around the lower outside shoulder to draw. Those two components are also very useful for these shot shapes and very simple to implement. 🍻

    Great tips, Rick. Thanks. I really enjoy producing these shapes when needed during a round. The only key difference for me is that I tee the ball higher for fades and lower for draws - just works better for my swing...perhaps for others too...I would suggest experimenting and find what works better for each person.

  • @regalpaintingsvccorp4588
    @regalpaintingsvccorp4588 Рік тому +2

    Great video!
    Question though ( and it’s for anyone who reads it )
    “Do any of you change your grip from weak to strong and vice versa when hitting fades or draws”?
    Personally the grip change for me aids in being able to shape shots, in the way that slot of the time having the grip one way or the other provokes the swing shape…
    Please share your thoughts, I’d love any feedback

      I like to keep it simple one grip two setups, I have fairly neutral to strong grip and I can hit both shots fade and draw pretty much how Ricks does it in his setup.

    Was slicing every ball and tried to hit draws at the range today, every single one went straight as an arrow. You love to see that

    I appreciate your efforts to bring some finesse to a bunch of hackers (judging by the comments). At least you're one Britisher I can understand.

    Thanks for posting, Rick. So, does a draw-biased driver promote a draw hit or is it working to save your slice? Another way to ask I guess is does it send the ball to the left? I love your videos. Thanks in advance.

    I'm just happy if it goes within 20meters of where I am aiming, distance aside.
