got you mate 👍
❤from INDIA i am not a big player . Just studying in school , but dont know i love this golff somuch . And your each video inspire me a lot ,especially in this lockdown time . And i hope oneday i will get the chance to show my ❤ in this golf and everyone will understand it . 🙂🙂🙂
Out of all the golf channels, yours is by far the best. I've just started playing again after 20 yrs or so, but this time, my son has got the golf bug and it's relit my fire to play again. I was quite suprised within the fist 10 hits at the range, I managed to drive 231 yrs, after all that time not hitting a ball. You're an inspiration. Best tips, thank you.
Nice Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Yanaylee Yanrooklyn Magic (do a search on google)? It is a good exclusive guide for unlocking an effective golf swing technique minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.
This was great, thanks, been searching for "how to hit a driver consistently" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (search on google ) ? It is an awesome one off product for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my neighbour got excellent success with it.
I’m in the Army and I’m deployed right now. Your videos help me get through the tough days cuz it makes me excited to get back home and get back on the course!!! Thanks Rick
Right on...get home safe and hit the links!
Waltypoo I’m airforce and same as you. Counting down the days.
You make sure you do get home safe. Much respect to you brother. ✊️
Thank you for your service..stay safe
Thank you all for your service!
My differences between irons and driver are a short slice and a long slice lol
Danny Malesh makes sense.
Danny Malesh 🤣🤣🤣PREACH!!!
Haha, pretty much.
Danny Malesh check his three step “stop slicing your driver” videos. Cured my slice. The clincher for me was when he mentioned wear in the palm of my glove, pointing to a weak grip.
All the best.
In my case, less hook more hook
(Im a complete beginner) I’ve been slicing my drives more than Gordon Ramsey slices veg recently but my iron play has been really good! I watched this video last night and went to the driving range today… I hit my first 250 yard drive and I feel like a king. It’s gone from 2/10 going straight to 6/10 easily. Thank you brother
that’s how i was when i started, good with irons terrible with driver
After watching this video I accidentally broke my neighbor's window! Your video inspired to set up my back yard net today. I hadn't set it it up in at least a year. After setting it up, I took a few practice swings with my 7 iron, and then hit the very first ball, which proceeded to go through the net, and was followed by a huge crash. It broke a big window on my neighbor's house. Apparently the net had dry rotted... but it was a very solid strike.
You followed the instructions too well. Please watch again reverse in .75x Speed
lol. i live in on a farm but that sucks man i can hit balls for days. my back yard is like a driving range.
@@christybrantley8092 You should start a driving range and rake in the dough!
@@christybrantley8092 depending on how close you are to a driving range and how many people you have in your area that would be interested, you could make a driving range. take couple hundred dollars and buy a bunch of range balls, then clear out a long section of pasture. you could walk off some yardages and put flags and then set up an area for people to come hit. you’d make your money back fairly quickly and then you’d be reusing all your balls you’ve previously bought mostly, just would have to find the time to pick them up, which would take more money to buy a picker but you’d over time make your money back and then besides if you have to buy more balls hear and there for lost ones, it’s 100% profit
Need to use foam balls lol
I’m new to golf and this tutorial helped me a lot...I couldn’t drive to save my life, but I changed my form to these tips and I’m driving now!! Granted, not as good as the pros and seasoned golfers, but I feel I’m on the right track. Keep up the videos man.
That comment at 1:40 to pull shoulder back. Absolute gold not one instructor I’ve seen said online. Trying to line up parallel with shoulders, hips, feet with club had significant impact on swing for years. Wish had noted before. Now consistent draws. Cheers!
Thanks Rick, best golf lesson I ever received. My crisis with the driver finished yesterday. So happy!
I watched this video this morning, went to the practice fairway did what Rick suggested, and hit he ball so cleanly and LONG (for me!). Also fairway wood. Thanks Rick!
As always thanks for all your hints and tips Rick - I practiced these for the past weeks and finally went out and played a round of golf last week and ended up shooting 10 shots under my "normal" score which worked out at 6 under par nett - I chopped 1.8 off my handicap!!.
I am now smashing my irons 15 to 20 yards longer AND straighter each time + hitting my driver much more consistently making me more positive each time I stand behind the ball - if only I had discovered your tips sooner in my golfing adventure.
Keep up the great work.
That’s brilliant well done Graham 🙌
My swing by using iron and driver improve a lot after watching this video. Thank you so much rick !
These are truly basic fundamental swing ideas that you can take to the course and see big improvements. Thanks Rick.
IT WORKS! From watching previous RS videos I’ve applied these tips to my game and I’ve become more consistent and gained yards with both my irons and driver! I can hear Rick in my ear as I set up now running through my set up!
I literally just started golfing two weeks ago and the ball placement relative to your heel was a huge difference maker for me as I learn to drive and use an iron. Shoulder stance too. I need to incorporate upper body and shoulder placement for the driver swing now too with the hopes I get even better results. Thanks for the video.
Watched this video two days ago and played 18 today on a tight tough course at Riverwinds. Mannnn, I was hitting them long and straight all day like never before. I already subscribed once I saw the video but now I can’t wait to keep watching because this helped tremendously. Thank you.
I just started playing again after many years away from golf. After watching other golf videos in you tube, you just made golf exciting, fun and easily comprehensible for me again. I'm glad and grateful I found your channel. I believe its the best out there and to top it all its free. My golf guru!!!
This man’s page has changed my game in an instant. Very thorough. Really appreciate this!
Watching your videos this past month has improved my game! Had a great outing with friends this past Wednesday, shot my first fade from your direction and it set me up in a considerably better place on the course. Cheers!
All of your tips and techniques have helped tremendously. Thank you
Can't wait to try these tips out next time on the course! Thanks a lot! I've been trying to hit with all of my clubs the same way and I can tell this will be a big difference!
I am LOVING the right to the point and three dimensionality of your explanation. I'm a complete newb with soooooo many questions. Thank you, excited to put these pointers to practice.
Also that casual tee pop was straight up hot. Hmff, chef's kiss.
Brilliant upload. The foundation of iron and driver swing mechanics in less than six minutes - cheers!
Rick! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This video completely changed my game!!! I stumbled across this video and watched before my golf league yesterday. Got there an hour early to try things you showed in this video. The 55% weight lean (for me it was more like 60%) on the front foot did it for me with my irons and hybrids. Shot the best game of my life. I went from a 50 to a 41 (9 Holes) and don't think it was a fluke. This is crazy... I can't wait to play again. I feel like I could literally beat anyone. I cannot thank you enough! Keep up the great videos!
I love Rick Shields videos.. this one is especially great!
Thank you so much Rick Shiels. I have finally broken 100 after being away from the game for almost 20 years. The last 2 years I have played more golf than usual and that is because of your videos. On Monday I shot a 105 but I knew I left too many shots out there. Played today and shot a 93, thank you so much for your great videos and keep up the amazing work!
This video's really gave me the missing piece of the puzzle to my somewhat errant driver swing.. set ups the key together with a nice takeaway and ensuring I get through the ball upon impact..
Thankyou Rick..
Your videos are fantastic Rick - they really helped me get through the quarentine and helped me prepare for the golf season. I've had my best start to a golf season, ever!!! Your tips have helped me better my game and I know it will only continue thanks to videos like these. Thanks!!
I'm 54 and taking up the sport, appreciate the clear concise explanations of the basics!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Rick!!
You're one of the best at explaining things so that golfers of all levels can understand. Thanks Rick for all of the great content!
RICK I watched your video last week after I shoot a 52 on 9 holes. The next week I watched your driver vs Iron video. I practiced the instructions while unloading my tanker truck. I didn't even go to the range. I played today I shoot a 43 as opposed to a 52 on the same course. The biggest difference was the tilt and shoulder back on driver. Then the 55% weight forward on irons. Thats a 7 stroke difference! I can't wait to get to the range and actually practice. I had a great time today, and it's because of that video. Thank you Rick
Really appreciate your explanations of the swing process. Watched this video right before the driving range and noticed a decent improvement on both my driver and iron swings. Much more of a consistent ball strike and flight. Thanks! Keep it up
I watched this video at least 10 times before I played today and it made a HUGE difference! Thank you so much for these 2 important tips. I am forever in your debt. Have a great day and I look forward to your other tips for improving my game.
Great tips, I’ve had a short break from golf and now looking to start back and play more regularly , I will use this video to help focus on the basics and hopefully improve my scores and get my handicap lower!
I’m glad these videos that have been out for years, stay online. Irons are my strong suit but my driver is awful.
Thank you this video is and was very helpful.
Make sure to share the video around to golfers who NEED this advice to help them play better golf! Thanks
Will do!, Thanks for the great advice I'll be doing this at the range tomorrow 👍
I should actually share the video around to myself a couple of times, could help with my horrible 3 Wood and Driver shots 😂
Maximise? or Maximize?
Can you add onto this, the demonstration and setup of a driving iron off the tee?
This is the quickest and simplest instructions that are helpful I’ve seen in such a short vid. Never had the same problem with irons as I do with the driver . Still problems with mid irons a lot 😂but my short game was my strength long game not so much 😂You made it very understandable. That made so much sense . Great video.Stopped playing years ago would have liked this advice back then 😂
I just recently got into golf and this helped a ton! Thank you!
I'm a new Golfer, these are Excellent Details!! Thanks Rick shiels golf
This immediately fixed the slice on my drives, setting up more behind the ball instead of next to it
I was literally search youtube for a video like this last night.......Rick is inside of my head.
Saw this video on the way to the golf course today and did what Rick said; wide stance on the driver lean little right and fade back a little on the wind up and stright stance with the irons and downswing.
Worked a treat. Always was woeful with my clubs but today was a revelation. Thanks RS.
Always tried to explain this to my friends who are starting golf.
There is a big difference. Thank you for making a quick simple video. I’m gonna just send this link instead of arguing 😂
Appreciate your hard work, Rick!
Thanks again! Keep it up!
started playing golf recently and after watching your videos i honestly feel like ive improved in so many ways
When I see a notification that says: Rick Shiels has posted a new video
Me:😊
Linen same here, Over time I subscribed too many various channels. But I don’t pay any attention to the pop ups..... except when I see it’s Rick Shiels, I immediately open it. Keep up the good work Rick!!!
I second that
According to your videos you are a 9 year old fortnite kid
@@TtvPhenrik1 Motion accepted! Lol.
@@mvdv6121 yeassss.... The motion denied, was close but a few votes made the difference hehe
This is my biggest issue as a new golfer. When I started I could hit my driver straight & with good distance. Couldn’t hit my irons to save my life.
Now it’s the complete opposite. I hit my irons very good, but lost my driver.
Perfect timing for this video. Thanks, Rick. Gonna give it a try next time the weather warms up.
Andy Long struggled with the exact same thing. Funny ole game ey?
5:31 aDAPtions 😂 🙌🏻
::That moment when you're thinking to yourself "Wtf did I just say??":: 5:32
AdapTAtions
Hahahahah
Adaptions!
Haha I thought the same thing. Great video tho!
I have only been playing golf , for a little over 2 months. I obviously have a lot to learn . And way to much to learn it all at once . Your way of explaining things clicks in my head . These short right to the point videos are perfect for on the way to the course . Or right before I leave. They have helped me tremendously. I got a long way to go but I feel I’m on the right path . Thank you so much I really love the game of golf and hope to for many years to come .
This has been a video I’ve been waiting to see for a while I’m a beginner so this will help me thanks rick 👍🏻
As a total newbie, I always found I was natural at hitting with the iron but not the driver. I was making a lot of the mistakes you mentioned. Gonna try and apply what you suggested. Thanks for the video!
5:07 The biggest problem I had was hitting the ground first, in front of the ball. As soon as I fixed that, much better shots.
Still confused me. Where on the ball am i targeting? Like just above the ground? This might sound obvious but idk its weird to hear hitting the ball first then ground
What about for 3 or 4 iron? Do you still hit the ball then the ground?
no further west yes. On all the irons you want a downwards attack angle, aka, hitting the ball before the ground.
Zaareb Raja just lean forward and hit the ball normaly that will automaticly make you hit the ball first
this video completely changed my iron game! i could never understand why i had such poor contact on iron shots, i went to the driving range today, not a single poor strike. amazing stuff
I dont even play golf but I fell like I learned alot
Went to the range after a couple videos and I’m already more consistent. Thank you!
I have a quick question regarding iron stance location. I was always under the impression that as the iron numbers drop, I should shift my stance further behind the ball. Based on this video, should I always have the ball just forward of center no matter the iron?
Mid irons in the middle high irons closer to the back, low irons more near the front.
Superb video, Rick - short, punchy and to the point. I’ve been playing for 30 years and sometimes forget the basics! 👍🏻
Thanks Nicolas. I’m glad this acted as a nice short reminder video
I've been striking my driver very well lately, but it's been flying super low... dead straight, but way too low. I almost alway set up my ball right between my feet and I stay very upright... I have a feeling that these tips are going to make a big difference.
Rick Shiels, your videos are great! I'm brand new to golf (approximately 1 month). I've been using all your videos for reference and I was seeing great results. I recently signed up for lessons and the coach was very impressed with what I already knew in such a short time. Thank you so much for showing everyone and myself hiw fun the game can be. I look forward to becoming the best I can and to enjoy my time on the course when I'm ready to take the next step. Rock on Rick 🤘
Could you pls do a review on the normal f9 irons. I’m thinking about buying them and I trust you the most
I'm crap at golf... but I watched this last night before playing a round this morning and improved my driving instantly. Every single drive (except for one) was lofted and while not always on target, they were nowhere near as erratic as the lower drives I used to hit. The irons advice takes some practice and I found myself to be horribly inconsistent at striking the ball cleanly - When i got it right, they launched like a missile but others were really fat.
I struggle to hit up with my driver, typically -1-2 degrees which gives around 15 degree launch. If I tee up then I go under the ball. Work in progress but feel that my set up is correct.
Step back a touch?
@@andyonlysmaller6557 I also go under the ball sometimes lol I started putting the tee down a little farther in the ground and that seems to help
I play around with my tee height, if it comes off the face low, I know I have to tee it up higher, I mark my tees at the height I need them to be, keeps the shot consistent
I've been exclusively using irons recently while shopping for a new driver. After buying my new driver, I've been struggling to get that swing back. Thank you for this video Rick!
I’m going to watch this every time I go to the range.
Excellent, concise with a summary! Perfect!!
I'm going for a round tomorrow and I can tell you this will make no difference to my game 😂
Stop it 😂
I discovered this channel few days ago, and as beginner, it gives me many valuable information about golf. Thanks!
What are you better at hitting? DRIVER OR IRONS?
Irons
is none of the above an answer?
Putter
Driver 🏌️♂️
Irons
I put your advice into practice today on the course. I hit my driver well beforehand anyway, but after implementing your suggestions I hit it even better. Thank you.
I've watched numerous videos trying to see the difference between driver and iron swings as I hit my irons lovely but my driver swing is awful 😭 this video is by far the easiest to follow. I want to hit the range now 😅 thanks Rick 👍
Simple and very easy to follow. Good job
Adaption doesn’t sound like a word. But I googled it. It sure is.
Literally same. I was like, wait a minute...., oh nevermind, he right.
@@dudeathlete3067 nope
So true lmao!
Same.. although I would have used adaptations (do I win the keyboard warrior pedantic prize?)
This is one of the best golf instruction videos I've ever seen. Also, you gave it to me with great ease even I've just started my golf for 3 weeks.
Let’s go Rick love the content always excited when I get the notification!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hello Rick from Czech Republic. Thanks a lot for your videos. Very helpful for me and for my son. Your videos helped me to recognize my fails and to concentrate to adjustment. I wish you good luck.
'adaptions' copyright, 2020 - Rick Shiels Golf :D
I have been watching your videos I must admit my driver has vastly improved but I am still struggling with my irons and find I tend to still slice. Still I am sure it will all come right eventually. Thanks for all the great help.
5:32 him thinking “hmmmmm…..is adaptions even a word???”
Adaptations? lol
you have helped me so much!!! i look forward to playing with you one day!! i promise we will!!
Hey Rick, I feel like one of my biggest problems when driving is allowing my back shoulder to drop too far down causing my club face to open on the down swing. I feel like this may be the result of trying to stay titled in the down swing instead of covering the ball with my chest. Any suggestions??
(In case RS doesn’t see your comment) I’d check my lead wrist. When that happens to me, it’s because the angle change makes me extend my wrist away from neutral and open the face.
Top coach makes it so clear !! Driver slice fixed on last videos, crushing irons next. Great videos, thanks
Rick, I see you’ve been working on that belly , it’s looking nice a round!! LOL great tips brotha!
Loud Pipes there are two types of people who body shame:
1. Insecure with their own body
2. Someone deflecting internal frustration.
....not a good look
Just a joke. Take a chill pill glassjaw
T-Rump I’m really chill. That’s why I golf. 😎to comment about someone’s appearance is a small move.
I watched this video before my round this morning and Rick every drive felt significantly better. Good stuff 👏
Great content as always mate. I'm cack handed so I'm helpless!!!
Just got my driver to 300 yds! 10 yds straight and 290 yds left.
Lmao
Thank you Mr. Shiels, your videos has improved both me and my daughters game, along with the enjoyment. Keep up the good work.
Total gold dust really well explained - just wish I could apply it to my game!
You give such better advice than other UA-cam channels. Fancy oxford frat looking guys over-explain things that don't matter.
This video helped me realize I was standing too centered with a driver and wasn't driving upwards. Great video!
Am I the only one that adds “the” before club names (“the driver”)? Seems weird to take “the” out
Great video again Rick - my 9 year old son has just starting playing golf and he loves watching your videos.
Game changer! Well done Rick!
Thanks Rick! I picked dup golf last summer and still have an issue topping iron shots. This should help massively!
Great instruction, will try and let you know if that works!! Thanks
That was the best I have ever had that explained. I do almost everything you say in the driver set up, just put that together from feel and observation. I smoke my driver and am usually fairly accurate but I am a terrible iron player. Will try to adjust with your set up and tips. The other thing I realized watching you and others is the steeper swing angle on the irons. I should start improving! You are a really solid instructor! Thank you! 🙏🏻
Finally ! The perfect video, excellent instructor! This was very helpful!!
Another brilliant video from the only on line coach who has made a positive difference to my game.
What I notice too is that you use the same grip with your 7 iron as you do with your driver. I tend to bring my right hand a bit further over my left with my irons, which isn’t the most comfortable. Will give the driver style grip a go.
Thanks again.
I still dont know why I watch these videos lol I dont even play ball golf. I play Disc Golf just not ball. But they're really educational and entertaining. Cheers mate!
Rick! Thank you! I lost my driver swing over the winter because I was swinging over the top on my down swing. I was forgetting pull my shoulder back. Now I’m back to banging them again. Back to my 300 yard drives. It’s amazing how one (small) thing can destroy everything
Great video! Aside from hitting a wood off the deck, transitioning from driver to iron consistently throughout a round is my biggest struggle.
The precision and stability of the golf swing featured in this video are truly commendable. Witnessing such technical excellence motivates me to refine my own swing and strive for a more stable and fluid performance. Looking forward to more videos like this!
Thanks for this, Rick. This video helped a ton!
I'm a complete beginner to golf and on my first 3 times at the driving range I couldn't hit a driver to save my life but wasn't too bad with a 7 iron. After watching this video today, I managed to hit about 60-65% of my drives today pretty well. Not getting a lot of distance yet but I have a pretty slim build so not too worried. I was so happy hitting 5 drives in a row clean and straight around 150 yards. 👍
Cheers for these driver tips, I went from not being able to hit the ball high enough to the point it runs on the ground, to now where driver is my strongest club and I’m smashing high and far straight down the fairways
On the course yesterday trying to figure this out. Get on UA-cam today and see this! Thanks Rick! Very simple and helpful!
