I deliver straight talking, easy to follow, honest, professional, calculated advice to all of my viewers from beginner to tour pro. This tried and tested method of coaching has helped many golfers achieve their personal goals and beyond.
This has been super helpful, thank you. I haven't taken any lessons, I'm just teaching myself through your videos and I have started to improve massively!
Oldie but a goodie
Watching this series every season ( even multiple times ) has improved my pitching dramatically
A real classic
Thanks Rick
Rick, thank you for putting these three video lessons together. I have adopted these techniques in my pitching game and they work great. I now have control of my distance for all my wedges and 9 iron from 100 yards and closer. I feel much more confident in laying up to any distance within 100 yds. of the hole so I can attack the pin. Your descriptions of how to incorporate these techniques for distance and height control are very easy to understand.
I also very much enjoy the videos of you and Peter Finch playing together and the chatter between you both while you're playing. Very entertaining, I look forward to future videos from you and Peter.

I improved my chipping a lot by following Phil Mickelson's ideas on the subject, He did not believe in the clock work idea but I think Phil did not understand that it was the body that turned to a point putting the arms in the time periods to start and finish. With Phil's chipping philosophy I cut a lot of strokes of my game, Yesterday I played 18 best ball using three to four balls trying to improve my game. I usually put in all balls I am playing that hole so I am also playing worse ball game as well. I used the clock work idea with the body being dominate in the swing and found that I did very well. Thank you very much Rick and Pete for doing a very good job on presenting this. Oh for those of you wondering about my Best Ball game. It was 109 degrees here in Las Vegas and nobody on the course so I could take my time and practice a lot per hole. My secret is to drink a lot of water three to four hours before going out and keep up the boozing with the H2O. I do not dehydrate so much and feel good during the whole round. Of course I am acclimated to this weather which makes a big difference as well. Las Vegas Duffer, Joel
The reason I like Mr. Shields is that I can relate to him. This video, in one golf game, helped me. I have played golf for a long time. I am 73 years old and chipping has always been my weakest link. I watched this video and followed the instructions and even my caddie and playing partner wanted to know what happened to me.
Thank You

Awesome advice! Took this to the practice area and course today and what can I say... it works wonders! This was always my fear shot because I thinned and shanked it most of the time, often leaving me in a worse place than before. Thanks a ton!
Hi Rick, This instruction video was, hands down, the most helpful and the easiest to understand and incorporate into my short game. It has changed the way I play golf and has made a tremendous difference for me. So much more than any other personal lesson I have had or video lesson I have watched. Excellent stuff. Thanks so much.
Great, great tip!! Strike quality improved. Direction improved. I even use this all the way up to my 6i. Fantastic!
great vid. my coach has been working with me on this very technique, and it's dramatically improved my short game. and you're absolutely correct... it's a very consistent method, because it's very repeatable. looking forward to Part 2 and 3. thx rick!
Great video. I just made an eagle chipping in from 80 yards using this technique. Thanks Rick!
80 yards isnt a chip. Nice shot
I know this series is really old, but man I seriously just wanted to say thanks! Strike the ball well with my drivers and irons but man inside 100 yards I always seem to never get the contact I need with my wedges. Implemented a practice sesh on the range and engrained it, and I broke 80 the last two times I went out. No more duffs or more skulls, just great contact that stuffs my distance and leaves me close! Cannot say thank you enough. You da man!
This technique has helped me more than any other in dialling in my pitch shots and lowering scores, look forward to more similar series.
I incorporated this into my game and it has turned my short game around. Thank you Rick! I know this video is on the older side of things but it still applies.
The bit about keeping the arms close to the body is an absolute GAME-CHANGER for me. Thanks!
lol i completely forgot about this intro, it’s so nuts having a new youtube account, all my favorite golf and fishing channels are suggesting me super old videos i haven’t seen in 7 years lol
First clinic, amazing results. I was struggling in this area. The "armpit" reminder what key, thanks again. Look forward to the other lessons.
I miss these simple instructional videos
This video was great! The simpler pitch swing quieted a lot of unnecessary movements I was putting in. The strike is much better. Thanks Rick.
Rick, been loving the videos! They have helped me get a lot more consistent and confident. Thanks!
I like to pretend I’m gonna actually learn from these techniques when in reality I’m gonna go out and blade every ball with my wedge like I normally do
I relate so much to this comment
Man I’ll I do is top the damn ball
Same bro. Same.
Me here trying to figure out how to not blade ever ball with my wedge as well.
@@yankeesslugger4774 sometimes I hit the ground first I don’t always top it now haha
Hey Rick,
The upper arm connection worked like a charm, especially once I hinged smoothly going back. The most important thing on the downswing is keep sternum steady (over ball) and rotate with arms connected. Thanks.
Great video!! I have been using my body more and shots are more solid and hit the greens more. It is easy to hit with the arms and I have to think one though, “use the whole body” in the turn back and through. Thank you for sharing.
A very good systematic approach to pitching. Helped me immensely. 👍
Thanks Rick!! After shanking a number of pitches last week I watched your videos, practised at a pitch n putt during the week and have just come back with a PB from my local course ... including rolling one straight into the hole from 39yrds!! Great technique... easy to follow .... confidence returns to my pitch shot! Thank you again, great stuffm
Great Video Rick, loving these little series videos.
Great video Rick, it's like I'm in England getting lessons from you. I just wish now I wasn't at work and on a range putting this good info to use. Keep up the good videos!!!!!
Rick, love the videos, especially the equipment testing. However, this series just gave me the best practice I’ve had in years. I needed to get back some confidence, and this series was the solution.
Hi Rick, thanks heaps for this video I have watched it a few times this week and then took it to the range today and it worked brilliantly. I was far more accurate and got far more loft, heaps of loft and some backspin that I've never had. You are a genius at golf tutoring and my favourite on UA-cam. Can't wait to take this to the course tomorrow.
Excellent tips
Excellent lesson, thanks Rick
Thanks Rick for the good advice...i will give it a try.
BRILLIANT! Physics in motion! Indisputable logic. Thank you and rest assured I will expose you to as many mates in my club in Melbourne.
Great tip. Been following you for years. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Rick! I cannot believe something as simple as keeping my armpits closed changed everything. Cheers!
That's the best series you have done.thanks rick.could you do a series on how to practise the complete short game to optimise time?
If this works as good on the course as it just did in my back yard my buds better look out. Thanks Rick. It's helping my driver also.
"It eliminates so many bad habits" - I like that :)
Thanks. Well explained. This is what I am looking for.
Great stuff. He covers the details you need and explains why each element is important.. After practicing this technique diligently my game inside 100 yards improved dramatically. Thanks Rick
Good instruction. Well done Rick.
I've seen alot of golf videos..Rick's videos are the best
great video , set up seems to promote keeping the head down thru impact without even having to think about it 👍
I really enjoyed your pitch perfect video, I though it was very informative and helped me to stop shanking my pitch shots. Watched your video and went out and practiced with confidence. Thanks
Thank you, so much helpful
Its amazing that you put out all this content AND you have time for all of your students! Great stuff Rick!
Superb that, crystal clear explanation...cheers Rick
Great advise ! really well explained Rick....
Still my favourite video,had my first hole in one using this,9 iron wind with 135 yds, cheers Alan 🤗
This video popped up in my video feed. Rick, it is timely because my short game is rubbish. Unfortunately it is winter now. But also I have a heated driving range and so can practice this during the winter. These are my typical 2nd shots on par 4s and 3rd shots on par 5s if I don't bottle anything elsewhere.
Rick, you come up with some bonza tips occasionally. I haven't even had time to practice this one, but I already know it is going to help. Everything about it speaks sense - and as inconsistent approach shots are what affect my scores more than anything, I am looking forward to trying this latest tip. Many thanks!
This is just what I needed I can hit it to 80 yards from the green and have a 45 foot putt for birdie. Thanks Rick! Think you can do a series on how to optimise practice overall?
very good video shot process explained very well! Will use this on the range thanks Rick!
Good stuff for consistency 👏
When you talk about setting up open, are you just flaring your lead foot more open and keeping the trail foot square to the target line? Also, are you keeping your shoulders square to the target line?
It works !! it's made such a big difference to my short game including chipping. Great vid
Hi Rick, you are a great instructor. Do you use the bounce of your wedge or not necessarily? Thanks.
Very useful so I will look forward to the next two
Thanks Rick ..best explanation of this ever!
Great Rick. Your full-shot swing looked around 3/4, so can you use this technique with other irons and even woods?
Do you have your hips open to target in the longer irons 4-7 or is only for shorter clubs and wedges ?
Look at bare faced Rick shiels! The beard makes you a better golfer for sure! Lol thanks for the vids
Thanks for this Rick. It really helps big time. I have some CBX Cleveland Wedges and added their Chipper as well. Spider Dubiel
Thanks Rick
Well done...I can really benefit from this technique
Thanks, Rick!
FABULOUS tip! Cheers!
Are you opening the face a little and using bounce on these shots? Thanks Rick and great work!
Didn’t recognize Nerdy Rick. Good guy
Only just noticed how close i live to where you film and i have been there and never noticed +rickshiels
Fab video thanks
Hey Rick. I really appreciate the slow mo features. I would even like more. How about doing a split screen with ball strike and hands/wrist...or something like that
Thanks for the videos Rick, I play off 13 and my pitching quality has held me back, really feel this could help me get to single figures. The 'connected' pitches have been improving my short games, esp in winter conditions with less help from the bounce.
Question; on my full swing (driver, long irons) I also strive for the arms and body to have that connected feel at impact. Any thoughts or ideas on this? Obvious at the top of my back swing the arms move away, but as I approach impact strive to reconnect arms with my body for better impact, and club path... thoughts please. Is this right or am I creating problems?
Cheers, Ben
Thank you very much for this, Rick. Been struggling with my chipping all year, and applied these techniques at the range today with great improvement. I figure this will take at least 5 strokes off my game! Much appreciated!
Thanks rick
I cannot describe how much this changed my short game overnight. I can hit 9/10 greens from 40-50 yds now. Before today it was about 3/10 or 4. Unreal difference
Yes older video but YES great tips.
I miss the Under Armour Rick Shiels. Looking fresh my man
Rick I can't tell on the video but do you keep the club head slightly open using the bounce with all these wedge shots? I have a habit of getting too steep with all my wedges hitting them either fat or thin? Thanks and great video!
Thanks
On your downswing in your rotation you moved your sternum about a ball length forward from the center line. Is that good?
This video series has VASTLY IMPROVED my short game! My short game 100 yards and in was literally embarrassing. I took this advise to the range and after a few miss-hits, I started to hit consistent shots with great impact one right after the other. I then took it to the course and I became very confident getting the ball to the pin! Thank you so much for this video... playing golf is fun again!
@@patbergin2778 so shut up mate
Rick you said both feet are in a slight open position and sternum is over ball. What about shoulder alignment? Does shoulder point towards target?
Great video 👌🏼
Hey Rick, you don't mention weight distribution. Conventional teaching on the pitch shot advocate more weight on the front/lead foot about a 60/40 split. What are your thoughts?
Rick, I noticed in slow motion that as the club head approaches the ball the shaft is flexed opposite from what I would think. Perhaps this is an optical illusion? It looks as if the head gets ahead of the shaft. Is the shaft you are using stiff? If so I did not realize how much shaft bend there actually is. Please comment/have a video on proper shaft flex and what it does to feel or performance.
Wonderful!
I've been following this sort of set up for a while with shorter pitches, less than half way swings. Still manage to shank or hit off the leading edge too regularly. Cannot work out what I'm stuffing up, and this leads to be very nervous with these shots. Funnily enough, when I set up more for a bunker shot, I can do no wrong... This is a frustrating part of the game, not knowing where thigs are breaking down, as I believe if you can pitch well, you'll swing every club well.
Great technique Rick. I can crunch drives and long irons but wedge plays always been the weakest part of my game. And it’s not like I don’t devote hours to it! 😢
Do you open face slightly 10° as Hank Haney suggests using a sand wedge?
Will this help with eliminating the high and right pop ups ?
I need to work on this my short game is pathetic
Thumb nailed
Quality content , very well explained as per usual - genuinely making noticeable improvements quickly thanks to this channel, much appreciated !
Any tips on fixing a push?
This is my best shot
Dude helped me to my first birdie😭😭
Can yo use this swing technique for iron shots?
I have a hitting mat where I have been practicing this technique. It does work. Thanks so much Rick but I want to add something very important: If you are like me and practicing this inside, DON"T use real Pro V1's. Or at least put the cat away. Or the glass top coffee table....
look at the Flick of the wrist!
It's baby Rick
