Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This UA-cam channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
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! - Спорт
Love how the pros are getting so involved in UA-cam golf now. What a top bloke Tommy is
He is the best!
@@malon91without the LIV pressure, none of these guys would be doing any of this.
Isn't there a financial incentive for pros to do more regarding golf and selling golf to a wider audience? I think Rory won an award for doing something similar.
@@edj9961I think its more on the Brand side. Seems like TaylorMade began seeing the reach of YT Golf and spends more of their marketing focus on that. And Tommy also seems to respect and watch some content, as seen in Grants Video. Great times to get amazing insights altogether
@@edj9961tons of pros have done it way before Liv, stop throwing credit to something where it isn’t deserved
Seeing Tommy’s face when Rick flipped the mini driver headcover inside-out was great 😂
at first I was like "no way Rick Shields is gonna mess up one of those super memorable Ryder Cup headcovers"!
Just what you need on a Monday afternoon when you are meant to be working 😂
Yep - off for a cup of tea and a “twirl”
To right, golf over work any day
MORE TOMMY FLEETWOOD PLEASE! What a wonderful human being. Thanks for sharing this.
Tommy is by far my favorite golfer. Would really like to see him win on the PGA Tour this year. His time is coming.
Or winning the Open
he’ll win this year im calling it !
Fleetwood is the best, but I wish he`d stop hammering us in the Ryder cup.
@@davidparsons5727 I know right. Hate cheering against him and some other during the Ryder cup. Haha.
I'd argue that Tommy is the most down to earth tour player. Man is so humble. It's impossible not to like him in my opinion. I'm a Rory fan, but I was happy to see Tommy winning last week. Love his game and personality. I see a big year ahead for him
Love the Humble Tommy. Just look like two buddies at the driving range
This is gold!
I loved the detail Tommy didn't know about his own clubs😂
That was great and funny also.
I had no idea how much I needed a video of Tommy just chatting about his golf clubs. I think I could listen to this on a loop and it would never get old!
7:18 Thanks for filming one of my drives Rick!
I was waiting, had me laughing so hard😂😂
Golf Digest did an article on the 14 club limit. The short version is during the 1930s golf clubs went from hickory to steel, and it was not uncommon for golfers both Amat and professional to carry upwards of 30 clubs. So it was the caddies who pushed for the club limit rule, so they didn’t have to carry two bags. Now as to 14, no one is completely sure, but that was the standard set of clubs in the mid 1930s (4 woods, 9 irons, and a putter)
Thanks for sharing. Spot on summary of the article, too!
❤
That's what I heard too! 14 is kind of arbitrary. My guess is they realized 20 too many, 10 is too few and just picked a number and never changed lol
14 because that was half of what the the Augusta winner had in the bag the year of the decision. The president of usga was afraid of technology overreaching the players skill.
Rick really did ask smart and interesting questions. The best Whats in the bag I've ever seen. Great job,both of you!
Tommy has to be one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, and I don't mean just touring pro, either. Just so down to Earth, honest, light-hearted, and a fantastic sense of humor. Easily one of my favorites to root for on tour! Good luck to you this year, Tommy! I sense a huge win this year for you, my friend! Thank you for the fantastic content as always, Rick & Co!
I swear HIT should have about 150 videos by now but they’re all on main channel 😂
Yea man agreed. I just unsubbed from hit. Waste of time checking it
"welcome to HIT" on Rick Shiels channel. Don't understand the point of HIT if all the big reveiws are on this channel anyway. If anything the flagship reviews should be on HIT to promote people to got there, and things like this should 1000% be on HIT.
I'd say it's very short sighted. He will make alot more money putting them on his main channel. But it will mean HIT will never bring anything in
I prefer them all on one, but maybe tag it a HIT to find them quicker
I’m glad this was brought up as it’s 100% what I was thinking at the start… either commit to HIT or don’t, no one actually cares. We understand you are paid per 1000 views and that’s fine, so more views on this channel, makes sense. But stop with the cloak and dagger
Tommy is just a genuine guy. Love seeing what’s in his bag and showing what he gots. Wonderful guy
Probably imo, one of the best vids done. TF so natural and it’s refreshing to find a Pro be so nonchalant about things then he hits a shot and his numbers are spot on.
Love this deep dive into a bag. As a equipment nerd, I absolutely love it. We need more. Tommy was such a great on screen presence as well.
On so many levels this video is amazing. This super chilled out what’s in the bag/interview is fantastic. But when Rick showed Tommy the head cover trick takes the cake!
Credit where credit’s due, you absolutely smashed this video Rick, really relaxed and super knowledgeable. Tommy is an absolute gentleman and so genuine. Great job.
I followed Tommy for 18 holes at 2015 British Masters at Woburn, just because he was a convenient tee time, if I'm honest. I've been a massive fan of him ever since... clearly a great talent, and coming back in to form at that time, but you could just tell he was a top fella. Cracked up the crowd a couple of times with his comments on Gary Stal's regular meltdowns. A major in 2024 would be very well deserved.
Absolutely a pleasure to watch Tommy talk us through his bag. Thank you. Imagine getting a few pointers/lessons by a guy this calm and friendly
Brilliant. Can't beat a bit of Tommy....pure class. Great to see he's not obsessed about equipment.....if it works it good.
This is so much better than just covering the clubs! Understanding how they use their clubs and what distances they like to cover was really good. Great video Rick
What a great in depth video on Tommy’s bag. I feel like we got a lot out of this video and a real insight into Tommy’s bag/club set up from your questions, you seem to put him at ease Rick and things just flowed. Awesome job on this one!
Tommy is a great bloke, no airs and graces just a straight forward honest man. Love watching him out on tour and hopefully this will be his year for a major or 2 ⛳️🏌♂️
I wondered “How can it be 40 minutes for WITB?” - but that was outstanding content. Rick’s interview brought Tommy’s thought process, and gave us insights we rarely get. Great work!
Hi Rick, Just watched What's in the bag with Tommy, so cool how the conversation was so relaxed, thought I was there with you, oddly my younger brother was in Dubai few months ago and happened to be walking towards Tommy and my brother genuinely did not want to approach him, respectful of his privacy, although, he did as he was alone, my brother did play the Earth course whilst there and having a short conversation with TF made it very special for my brother, and your video just proved what a fantastic guy Tommy is, truly genuine I envy my brother as it was so special for him ... my brother pretty good too plays off 3 ... your channels on UA-cam are brilliant keep up the great content, and thanks again, fantastic 40 minutes of golf conversation 👌
More of these please, this was bloody brilliant!
I enjoyed this video 10X more than I expected I would. Absolutely just love the chill vibes and good conversation as you slowly worked through his bag. Rick did a great job of asking good questions, and it just came natural cuz he is such an equipment nerd. Looking forward to more of these videos!
Tommy on your channel and Grant's, both today! Tommy is awesome, glad to see more of him on YT. And good to see the pros with the content creators. This is one of the best What's in the Bag videos I've seen. Keep up the good work, Rick. And you're looking great and healthier.
Was good to hear Tommy also uses the pix logo to assist with focus. I often go back to the pix ball when my eyes begin to wander off the ball before impact. Great video. Tommy is such a cool guy. One of my favourites on tour.
This is genuinely an absolutely incredible video! Tommy seems so great but it also highlights how good Rick is! Love it Pal! 🏌🏻♂️⛳️
More Tommy!! Just finished grant's video with mr Fleetwood... Only to jump on this one next, wow!!
Loved this so much! Satisfied the equipment nerd in me and what a top pair of lads.
Really enjoyed that! Looking forward to more of these, loved how modest Tommy is and how he doesn’t seem too hung up on the details!
Brilliant again. Tommy is so down to earth. Need more of these.
Golf is super lucky to have a guy like Tommy Fleetwood. I love listening to him in these types of settings and he's always super generous with his time.
Thank you Rick and Tommy for this excellent video. It is so nice to see these collaborations and get together‘s becoming more common it’s basically uniting the golf world which is what it really needs right now.👍👍👍
Best what’s in the bag on UA-cam. So in-depth ! My fav player ever !!
Love Tommy so much and your such an inspiration Rick can’t wait to watch !
100% agree
Love the vlogs rick , Tommy such a genuine guy
Tommy’s energy seems perfect to be slotted into pretty much any group setting.
Great format, I like to hear these longer form conversational videos. It’s a good mix of history and equipment talk.
What a great video. Rick and Tommy are class!
Please bring more of these videos.
Thanks
I normally get bored with WITB videos but that was the best I’ve seen. Credit to you Rick. It was the most relaxed you’ve been with a tour pro and your knowledge came to the fore. A great watch.
Rick, By far the best golf interview video I have ever watched. GREAT work.
Really good video…one of the best 1:1 with a pro that I’ve watched. Thoroughly enjoyable and a brilliant insight into Tommy’s game. Bravo chaps 👏👏
I think that would have to be one of my favorite videos you have done on the channel. Going through a Pros bag especially Tommy Fleetwood bag. Just getting an idea how he plays and what clubs he's got. He is also very humble which is a big plus
Such a great conversation with one of my favorite pros. Great video guys. Thanks
Great interview and insight into a premium golf pro's clubs and mental attitude. Keep the great videos coming and I hope the new channel would be as good as your main channel.
To see you two chatting around the bag, made the day. 👏
Easily the best video you’ve ever done, Tommy is a lovely bloke, just a great insight to his thoughts on his clubs, with great input from you. More of these please ⛳️👌
Nobody tends to know Why 14 Clubs, but the rule was implemented in 1936 because caddies were exhausted carrying excess weight or even 2 bags for 1 player.
Which actually sounds like you've just found the reason, honestly it's a really decent shout at least for why the number of clubs is as it is at 14. I mean they don't really want to show caddies struggling to follow their player as he strolls around the course chatting with the other players etc and it's not like the equipment was anywhere near as light as it is today imagine having to carry 2 full bags full of that old stuff. Probably wouldn't be a great look even before TV I'd imagine the golf press etc would be all over it especially if one of the caddies actually collapsed or even if they just put the bag/bags down and refused to walk another step.
Just the best most down to earth golfer. Love whaling and listening to Tommy and proud to be from his home town and played the same courses
Always love these videos with Tommy. He's a great guy, honest, genuine and all round damn good golfer.
Fantastic video! Lovely guy our Tommy lad, and great interviewing skills from Rick. Bravo! More like this please?
Thanks so much for a video like this Rick! Tommy is full of useful information, nice to hear all of the little tweaks the pros use. It just shows how important getting a proper fitting is.
Best WITB yet! Loved the insight from Tommy. Rick Shields setting the bar again!
That sim is on a perfect shank line!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Tommy seems like a wonderful human being and I hope to meet him in person someday. Looking forward to more of these.
Really appreciate the discussion of the rationale behind the selection of each aspect of the clubs from grip to shaft to club head. Such an honest presentation by Tommy and follow-up by Rick. Great idea for H.I.T.
As always, top notch content. Please let Tommy know how much we appreciate and enjoy watching you 2 interact. Can't wait to see him win a mojor!
Nice to see this. It's cool to hear methodology from a tour player and Tommy is certainly one of the greats. Good win in Dubai!
Wonderful content. Thank you. It was a real pleasure to listen what Tommy had to share with us. He seems like a real down to earth guy. And you Rick added some good value as well. 😊😊😊😊
What a lovely lad. Just a genuine, down-to-earth gentleman. Always thought very highly of him, and to top it off we share the same birthday! Good luck this season Tommy, I hope you win this season on the PGA Tour. Also, cheeky bugger the cameraman is panning over to the blonde in the hitting bay a few times 😂
Can just tell this Tommy week is going to be epic. On a side note, camera man did hold focus on the blonde on the next bay 😂
Thanks Rick and Tommy, really enjoyed the casual chat nature of the video
This is an absolutely fascinating video, not just on what is in Tommy Fleetwood's bag but also the decision making behind his selections. Get the feeling they go back a long way as they're both very comfortable in each other's company.
Tommy is the nicest pro in the tour! Just genuinely humble guy. Good luck to you in 2024!
Every day is a learning day!!! Love this video and the extra detail and conversation.
My favorite golfer. I missed out to see him when he won the South African Nedbank Challenge at Sun City. But luckily my wife managed to get me an autographed picture of him. Proudly displayed in my office.
Enjoyed Tommy being on the channel, didn’t realize how cool of dude he is 💪🏻
Fantastic video Rick and Tommy. Loved watching the video with you and Tommy a while back and these ones don’t disappoint.
The best interview ive seen..such a nice guy and great information on how he thinks about golf well done
What a brilliant interview. Easy going, open, and interesting to listen to. Rick, keep it going as you have a nice and comfortable rapport with folks. Saying that TF was a blast!
I like the way Tommy always grips down the shaft. He looks so in control with all his shots.
this is exactly what i need out of this channel! stuff for equipment nerds...WITB, new releases, odd items and the like
I think that's been one of your best videos yet, it helps that Tommy comes across so well on seems a genuine top bloke.
Rick and Tommy is such a great combo. Tommy is the nicest guy, and Rick is asking a lot of good questions. Best witb I've seen in a long time.
Great Video! I had the pleasure of meeting Tommy last year November at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, Humble guy amd will to take time for a photo. Have followed Tommy for many years and he is one of my favorite golfers in the world. So interesting to see how Tommy views each club and thoughts behind his setup. Was also cool to see that he didn't know what LS stood for and that the Mini driver cover could be turned inside out. You would assume that tour pros know every detail about the brands they play. What a cool video, it was awesome to watch. All the best for 2024 Seasom Tommy, will be backing you all the wat to win some majors! See you at the Nedbank Golf Challenge 2024. Warm regards from South Africa 🇿🇦
I met Tommy in NJ years ago. Such a down to earth guy. You can't help but to like him. 👍
that was fantastic, just wonderful! Thanks Tommy! Thanks Rick!
Love that along with us learning about Tommys clubs, Tommy himself was learning about his clubs. 😂
Could honestly watch the 2 of you chatting for hours. Tommy is an absolute legend
More of these please! Really enjoyed it 👌🏼
From Andy’s golf blog
In 1922, steel-shafted golf clubs began to go on sale but weren’t proving to be particularly popular with professional golfers. Until this point, players used hickory clubs and were generally comfortable with them because they knew exactly where each shot with each club would land. The introduction of steel-shafted clubs brought with it the prospect of a longer and more consistent ball flight, however, players would have to invest a great deal of time and effort into getting used to them if they were to switch.
In 1924, Herbert C Lagerblade became the first player ever to use steel-shafted golf clubs during a US Open. Shortly after, other players began to follow suit, however, with no upper club limit in place and to give them the best of both worlds, players often carried both a set of hickory and a set of steel clubs in their bag. On some occasions, caddies were even required to lug two golf bags to ensure they could carry all of the clubs the player needed. One field study at the US Open and Amateur discovered that the average number of clubs used by players was 18 - four more than the current limit.
At the 1935 US Open, things began to come to a head when one player turned up with 32 clubs in their bag, including a full set of both left and right-handed clubs. It was after this event that the USGA began to take a serious look at limiting the number of clubs players could carry and use. They had three main aims in mind:
Preserve the element of skill in the game of golf
Ensure a level playing field in terms of access to golf equipment (wealthy players could often afford to buy more clubs than those less well off)
Look after the welfare of the caddies who were regularly carrying bags weighing more than 15 kgs.
Great piece TeamRS. Originally questioned 40 mins for a WITB piece. But definitely worth it. Helps with Tommy being so natural. Look forward to the next episode.
Merci a vous 2. Tommy est genial...et tellement disponible pour partager sa passion
I love this format, could watch it all day!
Love this format hope there’s more to come
Easily one of the coolest breakdown videos. Would love to see more of these.
This was absolutely brilliant Rick, thank you as always!
Tommy Fleetwood, just a real one. So humble, funny & thoughtful. Rick you’re his friend you lucky bastard
Beautiful content. Good Cam and editing... And just interesting stuff.. Thank you..
Absolutely love the concept of this video! Can’t wait to see who else will be covered!! Keep up the amazing content Rick!
This is a very cool video. Loads of info and very casual. Looking forward to more like this!
What I love about Tommy is his genuine love for golf. Brilliant for the game.
How can you not love this guy!
Rick has had some outstanding golfers on this channel and most seem like nice lads but Tommy Fleetwood must be the most likeable character in the game today, if not ever.
I love Tommy, such a down to earth and humble dude. The best golf swing on the PGA in my opinion. So effortless and fluid
