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.
Hope everyone is good! Loads more videos filmed and on the way!
@Kie W yeah he's great kinda lost my love for golf but watching him makes me try to better my game as much as I can
Great video. I actually surprisingly do this most of time which makes sense my scores have gone down. I just have to learn to do it every time cause as a round gets late I will get fatigued and my mechanics tend go for a stretch of 2 or 3 holes
Thanks rick. Another great video. I always love to see the basics. I would love to see a video where you show how to shape a shot and sort of what you are thinking/feeling when you are hitting a draw vs a fade
Very helpful. I have been picking up a lot of soft turf recently, limiting my distances.
I do I choose correct club lengths?
It's tough standing still when I've gone through a 6 pack before the 1st tee.
wait till after the round
And that's at 8am 😂
6 pack watching coach Rick's videos. At least you made it to the tee box !
Its alot more enjoyable that way though, right? Instead of caring that you hit it in the woods... you just throw another ball down and do it again lol
Nice Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Yanaylee Yanrooklyn Magic (should be on google have a look)? It is a good one off product for unlocking an effective golf swing technique minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my old buddy Taylor finally got great success with it.
Just started playing 3 weeks ago, this is very helpful, thank you!
You are the best Rick! Started this week and already hitting the ball straight with loft while following your video guides.
Fairly new to golf at 43 had a few rounds. Not great but determined to improve these videos by Rick are the best on this channel by far
Loving these tutorial vids Rick helps us golfers big time that can't afford regular lessons cheers 🍻
These videos actually help improve my game so much. Started golf about 1 year ago shooting 110. Starting watching you Rick now i shoot no where near 100 i'm only 17 too so got a long time to go.
I justed started playing golf and I'm trying my best to be better.
@@trubee2923 just watch all Rick's tutorials honestly it helps so much
@@wardstar9087 lol was already planning to. Anyways good luck on your golfing :)
i’m 17 and started playing seriously about 2 weeks ago and i’m shooting about 85 on a good day but I have those rough 110 days haha
No way your playing at 85 after a few weeks. Most beginners will be lucky to break 100
Great tips…It’s always good to watch this to get back to the basics.
This video was incredibly helpful for me!! I’ve been working a ton on my irons but I always feel like I have no clue what I’m doing setting up to the ball. This feels like exactly what I was missing.
Great review for everyone. When I was first learning the game from a friend, he taught me to pick out a spot about 18-24” in front of the ball on the target line and to place my feet parallel to that line. 30+ years later, that is something that I still do. Also, allowing my arms to hang straight down at address. I do think I’ll use your suggestion about keeping them slightly extended with the driver. Great video, Rick!
Cheers for this, I have been researching "not getting distance with my irons" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (just google it ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my brother in law got cool results with it.
@@pianoargento5289 i googled Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition, and what came up was Smash Factor. Is this what you were talking about? Any tips? Thank you.
Thanks rick lots of good tips, I’ve seen my self do some of the mistakes you shown, so now I’ll adapt to the correct ways show in this video
Distance from the ball is EVERYTHING. Pushing those hips back with the proper distance makes everything so much easier
I wish I could give this 10,000 likes. This is the best golf content. Rick, you're the best man.
Thanks so much
This reminds me of when I discovered this process, I had always been told to take my stance first but I could never get a good shot off. One day I had enough of not being able to hit my driver so I went to the range and just kept trying everything I could think of till I could get good consistent shots and this was what I came up with only for me I found my best shot came from having my lead foot just slightly ahead of the ball instead of being squared up to the ball. Since then 280-300yrd drives almost seem too easy, a far cry from the 100-150yrd drives I had before
So you gained 150yds from ball position 😂😂
Indeed I did, if I could upload a video in the comments to prove it I would
@@jamesmills1500 can you please. I’d like to learn. If you could talk us through it too.
Your chipping video from last year did amazing things for my game. I love your teaching style, direct, to the point, easily understood. Thank you.
Finally getting into golf after a few years wanting but couldn't find the time. Went to a range for a first time. I'm in my mid 30s. Asked a few people about grip and they were close but not near the pointers. Showed me the interlock grip. Everything about it felt wrong. I will try the 10 finger grip and use your pointers. The swing and everything is complete opposite of my natural swing, feet, grip as I only played baseball growing up through school. It will take some time
Great videos. Just now trying to get into the game at 33. Your videos with a detailed breakdown showing biomechanics, reference points, etc for set up and hitting have been very helpful.
Thanks for the video, helped me figure out why I was squirting the balls to the right, I was lining my club to the right. Your tip about lining up the club first was very helpful.
This is good to watch as a refresher before going out for the first time each year.
Thanks Rick, I have been working on my stance lately. I think this video will help. Thanks again !!!
Reading these comments Rick I see I'm not the only one who feels that your videos are so helpful. I love watching the fun videos, playing with one club, long par, etc. Great content here on the channel. I JUST got a cobra F9 (2019 model for only $249 USD!) after watching some of your videos on drivers and got out yesterday to the range. I used your range time technique that you did a video on, splitting up the range time, and other tips on driving. I'm easily getting 20 if not 30 yards longer on the drive, and I have my errors narrowed down to me, and me only. If I can just get that left arm in line, and not bend the elbow, I'll be playing the best golf of my life. All the best from here in Michigan in the states.
I went a few days ago with a 108. Watching this video actually brought up a good point about setting the golf club first. I did the thing where I stood there and then set it. This was an awesome reminder thank you!
THANK YOU!!!!!i used this set up routine this morning, i broke 90🎉🎉🎉(87) for the first time in ages!!! I’m just returning to the game after a decade + layoff. thank you again for your excellent tutelage and coaching prowess.
Keep em coming. Your helping at least 1 guy. I Appreciate it. I Went from having a hard time getting a respectable shot off to finding my way up and down the course. Now to try and lower those scores👍
How many thumbs up can I give you? Thank you, thank you, thank you,.. just tried this today and OMG! Square the club,.. get grip,.. then stance,.. no more slice or draw. The ball went straight where I was aiming, every shot for the whole course. WOW!
Thanks for another exceptional video Rick! I started out playing golf by a friend loaning me a few clubs and going out to the course. I didn’t have much guidance. I was swinging the clubs like a baseball bat. I’ve drastically improved my technique and game by watching your videos. I walk out in the yard and just start practicing what you preach. You Sir are freakin’ awesome!
Thank you very much Rick. Watching your video everyday help me improve a lot. Your explanation is very clear and easy to understand.
Honestly changed my driving just from your videos. I'm more grateful then you know. This man knows his stuff yet knows how to explain it in very simple ways. Thanks again Rick i will always keep watching!
Lots of good stuff in this video.
One thing about aiming .
If your feet are truly parallel to your feet. Your feet would be aimed 2.5 ft left of the target
Rick your coaching has been invaluable for my game I’ve gone from 15 handicap to 7 with a career best score of 71 of the stick 1 over the card. Thanks🏌️♂️🏌️♂️👍
By Far the BEST video I've seen on how to stand correctly.....AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!
Thanks so much for this Rick. I have been playing on and off for 30+ years and your tip for setting up everything around the club face has me hitting more consistently than ever before.
Thank you for all of the great videos. Shot my best game today 88 today.
Fantastic, informative videos and really clearly explained and demonstrated.
Good way to play in next year's season. Technique is important. It's also easier to teach others in the future for enjoyment & fitness. He's a good coach
Feeling this video a lot - returning from the COVID break in Australia, my ball striking was horrendous. Only when I saw video of my swing did I see how crouched down on the ball I was. Such a simple thing. So easy to lose.
Top vid this. My current pattern is grip, stance then target. Explains why I keep ending up in the nearest field. Will be making changes off this one, cheers Rick.
Love the vids mate. 🏴
Scotland
Big thx to Rick
help understand basic things need to know they change your game
Big pleasure watch the this Chanel
I’d love to know how many times I’ve watched this now towards the end of my first year playing.
Dear Mr Rick Shields Thank you so very much for this video it been a godsend,, down the range tonight has been the best for a number of years ..Though I do run the clubs on my fingers like you show it was the square line that was the clincher ! I've added at least 10 yards to every club tonight which is nuts ! the height was wonder to see .. though the club face looked open address my shots was amazingly pure just go to show that your eyes can deceive you at address ! ( my club face it seems well closed when I hit the ball ) At least now I have a marker now when I grip my clubs .. Thank you once again .. Ady xxxx
Rick, I've been playing golf for a bit over 8 months (loving it). Whenever I play I think about how I could improve my practice and when I get home I see you post videos about exactly what I was thinking about. All my pars are going to be toasts to you mate.
Rick, thanks for this. Even after playing for years this made me reconsider my stance to the ball because of swing path issues as well as balance. I’ve been playing a draw with most clubs and reconfiguring my stance based on this video helped reduce the amount of curvature in my iron shots. I’m getting used to what feels (to me) as a more seated stance (from sticking out my butt as you describe). I’m looking forward to working in this more as it didn’t seem to bother my lower back which usually gives me issues. Thanks!
Simple, direct, easy to understand, something to many tutorials forget! Nicely done Rick 🤙
This video reminded me of the videos of yours I watched 4 years ago when I started🙌 love them, keep it up
Awesome!
Played for first time 3 weeks ago. These videos are helpful
Thanks for posting this Rick Shiels. I have been lazy with setup and this got me back to where I need to be today. I was going through the wrong motions.
I’ve just been at the range and this is the exact video I needed. I was standing in slightly the wrong position for my driver and it had a huge push or slice but from the Center of the face. I did work it out but only on the last couple of balls. This was an excellent reminder.
The other thing I did was to hit it ether really sweet or top it and I couldn’t see I was doing anything notably different. Other than the outcome.
Thanks Rick this is going to help me lots in my golf. ⛳
Thanks for the reminder. Whenever Jack Nicholas went to see his instructor Jack Grout. He started from the very basic as if he was a new player. Reason was to continually remind even the GOAT of the basics and to build consistency. If that process is good enough for Jack. It’s good enough for me. Thanks Rick👌
Rick I played today after watching this video and shot my best round to date (77). Thank you for your instructional videos. Stay safe.
Hi Rick! I've been following you for a few months now and really appreciate these kinds of videos. I recently just started playing in the driving range and have really faced issues with my shots (and even experienced slumps), until I started watching your videos and applying your tips/points! Really glad to have come across your channel 😊😊
hope you're on the courses by now! rick is awesome to follow
Been struggling with my stance, thanks for this video.
Thanks Rick! I will make a few minor adjustments to improve my shots.
Unbelievable video man !
So critical piece that a lot of people dont realize after all the drills rehearsals that there needs to be a sequence of steps to be taken before a golf shot to kind a check off ingredients in a golf shot recipe. Every pro does that.
Congrats on becoming 1M youtuber 👏
Hey, new-ish to golf, got some clubs custom cut to my height at a local shop, and been kind of self learning with a small group of my grandparents friends.
I got a game tomorrow, and this will make leagues of progress when I put this in my repertoire, glad I searched this before hand!
Excellent upload. The three step stance mechanics that will keep a good player away from bad habits, and a new player establishing the correct habits right from the start! Keep doing what you do, Rick!
Excellent refresher 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
Had a good wee 1on1 lesson with pro today on range, showed me all this and what I were doing wrong!
Your videos are helpful to my golf swing
Shaft position is also vital, particularly with the driver. 🤗🤗
Excellent small tips that are often forgotten
Fundamentals, Fundamentals and Fundamentals !! At one time or another we all need to go back to the basic fundamentals. Thank you Sir !
Great tips as ever Rick will bear them in mind when I next go golfing🙂
Hi Rick, Great vid as always. Would you be able to make a video on how to play on wet ground conditions. The courses I'm playing on at the moment are really muddy and some are nearly waterlogged. Just wanted to know if there are any techniques to use when playing in these conditions. Thanks
Really happy to have found this video. Stance is 100% my issue
Rick, I actually asked for a video on this on your insta less than a week ago and you have answered with such great information yet again!!! I just went to the driving range and implemented these fixes into my stance and have achieved great consistency in results!! Thanks so much mate!! Keep it up!!!
I'm basically new (I played in high school but never received proper instruction, I grew up in the middle of nowhere, and I haven't played for almost 14 years), I've been working on my swing, and I'm at the point where I'm comfortable with my grip and am working on my address so perfect timing!
Thanks for this video Rick. I have got a bit lazy in my set up recently, walk up to ball put club behind and hit it. This will now be taken onto course and practice area. Cheers 👍🏌
Hey rick, been watching your videos for a while now since I first got into golf, this video really helped me the other day with my driving! I’ve always been slicing it right but today I gained a lot more distance and straighter drives thanks to this video, keep up the good work!
I Never could shoot below 85 before I started watching your videos, Just from watching your videos my career low is 72 now, Thanks Rick! Love your videos
Thx for the Video I needed this, But I have a question still and that is For like a 3 iron and a 9 Iron You would still position the ball in the middle of your stance? If u could Reply and make sure I’m doing this correct it would be helpful thanks Rick!!!
i keep finding my self coming back again and again for more great vid rick! and keep hooking people like me your doing a great job!
thanks Rick for brilliant advice
Watching your videos has been super helpful in starting my golf career. I appreciate you helping out “the little guy”
These videos are so helpful. The attention to detail and making things simple and easy to understand is so important.
Just wondering if you could do a video that covers backswing, follow through and swing speed?
You've just visualized on video what my instructor told me last week during my lesson but I just didn't get for some reason. It's a lot clearer now. As always a fantastic video Rick. Thank you.
This video helped me fix my slice with my driver somehow lol, thank you sooo much, that was one of my only problems in my game
Doing the lords work rick
.....I was also advised to put the left hand on the club first, (for a right handed player). There is a tendency for players to place their dominant hand first and this can lead to opening the shoulders to the target line at address. Do you agree?
Thanks for that. Been through it recently with my Golf Coach. But always good to be reminded as it's key off the tee.
Appreciate the short videos with minimal lecture! Great reminder! I've gotten away from that and needed this.
Simple Video but still needed for better than average golfers as a reminder. Great Video Rick. I have left you some nasty comments in the past because you are known for being toooo chatty. THIS WAS GREAT... You stated a Title, Demonstrated, Stayed on Topic. Man I want to give you a hug. LOL... Thumbs up...
Great video. Sometimes we need to revisit the basics. SUGGESTION: in these stay at home times; any drills we can do indoors? Or in the yard? Be safe!
This helped out a ton and thank you Rick shiels, you're amazing
Great video. Simple tips that are game changer.
Awesome! I love your videos Rick. I learned so much from you. Thank you.
Thanks so much mate
Great tip Rick. Thanks for this video
Not long just restarted playing again. It’s good to know I have got one thing right. It still a lottery if the little white object goes anywhere remotely near where I want it to go but it’s a start! Rick have you done a video of using woods on the fairway?
Can you please do a video on how to hit our fairway wood or hybrid although i know you don't like hybrids please
I always played them more like an iron but I agree it would be good to see Rick do a video on the hybrids and woods.
@@clientbuilding8737 I agree. I get 1 good shot with my woods or hybrids in about 50 tries. It would be nice to see how to do it correctly..
I think it could be helpful to incorporate the practice swing into this whole set up video. Do you get all set up and then take a step back for a practice swing, then readdress the ball? Or do you do the opposite? Very Interested to hear your theory on this. Thanks. Chet
Took this out to the range and hit things much straighter and more comfortable. Subbed and liked
Created the V at the last second for load and hinge
You’re awesome Rick! Thank you for posting content while we’re all at home and bored!
Love the quick and easy to follow instructions Rick
Another great video Rick! Stay awesome👍
Thx Rick ! I am at home . Scool ar close in Québec Canada . Ils getting worts . Me and my 2 boys watch your vidéo and practicing ! We can do someting cool during this sad Time 😉 dont stop 👍
sorry but I cant stop liking your Videos so informative and great lessons
I'm a big fan. I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you!
Cheers Rick. Daft I know but one of the best vids you have done. I'm quite tall and really struggle with correct address. All points noted! Thanks again mate
