    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.

    Rick is killing the Swing instruction industry. Like the Magician who gives all the secrets away....and we thank you. AS for the hanging lie, ball below our feet. My opinion; the reason we mis-hit that shot. Once you start your back swin'g, You brain knows you're out of balance, and tells your thigh muscles "Stand up". I give Rick ton of credit. He's teaching and not worrying about where the ball is landing...he's showing the good, the bad and ugly...

We know exactly what you are trying to say and understand what you are trying to show us ! We understand that when we try , it's not going to be perfect, the first time !

    Rick, best lesson I've seen on this topic and one which most weekend duffers have no clue about. One other thing I was taught about downhill lies is that you should take some practice swings to see where they bottom out. My first couple are always too far behind the ball even if I think I'm set up properly. Would explain some comments here about people chunking shots. Keep up the good work.

    Rick, you're down to earth and comfortable in your own skin. I like the fact that you are not superhuman; you're not the one-armed robot that engineers built to test clubs and golf balls. It always hits the ball straight; you don't. This was a good, informative show for uphill, downhill, etc lies; it wasn't about those compound lies where a golfer sees downhill - sidehill lies. However, I learned a lot and I enjoyed learning from someone who hits balls like "The Golf-a-holics," buit doesn't talk like he hits 'em like Ben Hogan. You have 1.28M subscribers because we can relate to you. You're one of us & you never talk down to us. That's big.
    Also, you are almost as good at hitting the stray & woodsy shots as Arnold Palmer. I think that's because you're a creative not a determined plodder like "Sweet Swing" Peter Finch. Finch will hit two straight balls with perfect form and wind up ten yards shy of the green. From there, he's lucky to two putt. You, on the other hand, will hit some "Wild Kingdom", off into the jungle shot off the tee, and then, you'll curve a ball off a branch leaving yourself with a birdie putt. While I admire & envy Peter's swing, I like that you can recover from your screw-ups. To me, that's more the sign of a master teacher than a guy who doesn't have the brains to aim at the flag instead of the edge of the green. Cheers.
