[@chrish6916]

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.

[@marioianniello7127]

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.

[@juanagutierrez8681]

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.

My differences between irons and driver are a short slice and a long slice lol

Danny Malesh makes sense.

Danny Malesh 🤣🤣🤣PREACH!!!

[@TheIndiglo]

Haha, pretty much.

[@markmurray1091]

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.

[@김수영-m7l]

In my case, less hook more hook

[@ij2281]

(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

[@rjles_]

that’s how i was when i started, good with irons terrible with driver

[@davidgoodman7089]

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.

[@zacharydixon2802]

You followed the instructions too well. Please watch again reverse in .75x Speed

[@walkwithmetravel3596]

@@christybrantley8092 You should start a driving range and rake in the dough!

[@user-ek3ks2xb3y]

@@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

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.

These are truly basic fundamental swing ideas that you can take to the course and see big improvements. Thanks Rick.

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!

[@jorgemartinez2432]

Thanks Rick, best golf lesson I ever received. My crisis with the driver finished yesterday. So happy!

[@scottmunro3167]

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!

[@grahamthomson4747]

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.

[@RickShielsPGA]

That’s brilliant well done Graham 🙌

[@anthonyg418]

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!

[@miyavi5762]

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!!!

[@marl-author2531]

This man’s page has changed my game in an instant. Very thorough. Really appreciate this!

[@RobGams]

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.

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!

[@SharcTankk]

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.

[@joejacobs2112]

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

[@camerongibson9411]

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!

[@mitchellcruickshank3815]

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.

[@notmenotme614]

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.

[@zhawk18]

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

[@nofurtherwest3474]

What about for 3 or 4 iron? Do you still hit the ball then the ground?

[@qdahdrummer]

no further west yes. On all the irons you want a downwards attack angle, aka, hitting the ball before the ground.

[@Chris-dc6su]

Zaareb Raja just lean forward and hit the ball normaly that will automaticly make you hit the ball first

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.

Thank you so much I really love the game of golf and hope to for many years to come .

[@treker34]

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?

[@cake1159]

Mid irons in the middle high irons closer to the back, low irons more near the front.

[@andylong8178]

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.

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??

[@tshum2157]

(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.

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'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.
