Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This KZbin 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.

[@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.

[@dannymalesh2654]

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

[@theduke7957]

Danny Malesh makes sense.

[@UpToScratchGolf]

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.

In my case, less hook more hook

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

[@christybrantley8092]

lol. i live in on a farm but that sucks man i can hit balls for days. my back yard is like a driving range.

[@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

[@miguelsanchez2662]

Need to use foam balls lol

[@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

[@erswrld335]

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

[@juanpereira647]

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.

[@davepalmerton2429]

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

[@kmac8101]

You're one of the best at explaining things so that golfers of all levels can understand. Thanks Rick for all of the great content!

[@toddelliott3239]

Watching your videos this past month has improved my game! Had a great outing with friends this past Wednesday, shot my first fade from your direction and it set me up in a considerably better place on the course. Cheers!

[@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!

[@450MIKE514]

Your videos are fantastic Rick - they really helped me get through the quarentine and helped me prepare for the golf season. I've had my best start to a golf season, ever!!! Your tips have helped me better my game and I know it will only continue thanks to videos like these. Thanks!!

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@chrismc007]

Great tips, I’ve had a short break from golf and now looking to start back and play more regularly , I will use this video to help focus on the basics and hopefully improve my scores and get my handicap lower!

[@BenDover-xd1jh]

Love the videos Rick! Would love a video explaining how to hit Hybrids, Fairwaywoods, and Long irons, to really get into the differences. Keep up the great videos!

[@jackr6256]

See clay Ballard's videos

[@kinetic-kutz671]

Yes, please do a video for hybrids. Another for fairway woods too. I don’t play an iron longer then 4. Thats when I switch to a fairway wood...

[@henrylinchiropractor9998]

Yes! Long irons please Rick! Is it supposed to sweep through the ball with long irons or still hitting down on the ball like mid and short irons?

[@ltmoods4182]

Irons and hybrids are same swing

[@jorgemartinez2432]

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

[@larrylarm7537]

Rick Shiels, your videos are great! I'm brand new to golf (approximately 1 month). I've been using all your videos for reference and I was seeing great results. I recently signed up for lessons and the coach was very impressed with what I already knew in such a short time. Thank you so much for showing everyone and myself hiw fun the game can be. I look forward to becoming the best I can and to enjoy my time on the course when I'm ready to take the next step. Rock on Rick 🤘

[@nanakuffo2]

I'm a new Golfer, these are Excellent Details!! Thanks Rick shiels golf

[@patoswork1112]

Really appreciate your explanations of the swing process. Watched this video right before the driving range and noticed a decent improvement on both my driver and iron swings. Much more of a consistent ball strike and flight. Thanks! Keep it up

[@bayareagolferJP]

This is the quickest and simplest instructions that are helpful I’ve seen in such a short vid. Never had the same problem with irons as I do with the driver . Still problems with mid irons a lot 😂but my short game was my strength long game not so much 😂You made it very understandable. That made so much sense . Great video.Stopped playing years ago would have liked this advice back then 😂

[@marcv1312]

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.

[@newtssmokehouse]

Another great video Rick! Your instructional videos are amazing. Have helped my game out a ton! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@andrescovarrubias7898]

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!

[@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 🙌

[@sethgardner8623]

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.

[@meyerpigott1898]

I play around with my tee height, if it comes off the face low, I know I have to tee it up higher, I mark my tees at the height I need them to be, keeps the shot consistent

[@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.

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.

Excellent Video as always. Keep grinding these videos Rick!!

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?

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

[@drewjohnson4795]

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.
