How to hit GOOD golf shots consistently!

[@robertflint4115]

I’m 57 and just started golfing late last season. It didn’t take long to figure out golf is a little challenging, so figured lessons may be necessary. Took the first lesson last week and Rick’s tips are almost word-for-word the same as the instructors. Hopefully Rick continues with these instructional videos, might save me some money. Thanks Rick 🤘😎

[@GCKLXIX]

2 years younger, and just started too. It is exhausting trying to remember all these hints, tips, and instructions.

[@swizlestick]

@@GCKLXIX just remember one tip, and work on that until it is habit. Then move to the next thing. you wont find a good swing overnight.

[@wahoonate]

Be careful getting lessons. Make sure the instructor is truly trustworthy and very, very good. I played better golf before I ever had lessons. The instructor just wanted me to keep coming back. I wish I would've never gone to him. Some even say Tiger went to the wrong instructor and never was the same.

[@Crowejonathan]

Feels like a throwback video 🔥

[@Phoenix258]

We totally need more of these videos back. Long time since we had a coaching vid.

[@RizKhan94]

Throwback RS need more of these vids!!

[@christopherlavigne9600]

After the horrible round I played yesterday, Rick was reading my mind on the video I needed! Thank you for posting this in a time of need!

[@dok88]

Amen to that!

[@Chas-man33]

I came into Rick for his instructional videos. I like that he still sprinkles some in for us. I certainly don’t expect Rick to be flawless in execution. I know I can count on sage advice from the best teacher on KZbin.

[@Hiddenlunchbox]

pause... you did what now?

[@DattPanda]

It's like it has become cool to drill the guy. He knows what he's doing and these gems are free. Appreciate the help, Rick. Was a bit nostalgic watching this!

[@michaeldodd6864]

Yeah it is sad how he has gotten so far away from the instructional videos that made him. Deserves a lot of criticism

[@bestread725]

I love your teaching videos. Please keep them coming

[@TheTrees_]

needed this, and more like it, sometimes videos can be 10-20 minutes from pros and its great but a nice change of pace with a shorter video teaching some basics is awesome! thanks Rick 👍🏼

[@agnosandre]

The relaxing part and holding the grip more lightly than you are use to works wonders!

[@carlhughes7003]

That’s a really helpful easy guide. Thanks Rick.

[@grob-88]

I'm not a great player and barely a weekend golfer but I watched this before my second round of the year today and broke 100 for the second time. Massive difference in striking and consistency. Thanks Rick!

[@Descan26]

Love the instructional videos. Helps my game.

[@michaeldodd6864]

The instructional videos are what made this guy. Good to see one again. I basically ignore all of the other ones he produces.

[@behemothpowersports5958]

I always struggle with how close I should be to the ball. The few inches above the knee tip is perfect for me. Thanks!

[@jameskwright4495]

I’ve really struggled with pulling all my shots recently, I couldn’t align correctly if my life depended on it. Taking a step back, looking at the ball then setting up around the club has helped me TREMENDOUSLY.

[@swizlestick]

This all highlights a very good point. The key to hitting good consistent shots is removing variables. I went from a 20+ handicap down to an 8 by slowly (years) removing the variables in my swing/setup. I will also say to anyone here looking to improve their game, TAKE LESSONS! While Rick is a great golf mind, he has not seen YOUR swing. You may watch a video and inadvertently 'fix' something that isn't broken.

[@beverlychmelik5504]

Played for the first time today since Sept, only hit a full bucket yesterday, and saw this today. It actually made a big difference in my game today. I was getting solid hits. There are things I need to fix still, but I felt good afterward.

[@rbintheusa]

Been setting up feet first for forever. Tried it clubhead first, at the range yesterday, and it made a HUGE difference to my consistency. Thanks RS!!

[@richardmichael8154]

Many thanks Rick. Best golf tip I've had for a long time. Took it seriously, went down the range and practiced it. Then followed it up in a round. The result was much more consistency in my golf. Same for my brother when I passed it on. Both of us have had coaching. No coach we had emphasised the importance of setup as Rick describes. Once again, many thanks for the video. 👍

[@austino65]

I really like you short and simple golf tips. Easy to understand and do. Keep them coming.

[@FiftyLibros]

We love your coaching videos, Rick! Never mind the envious haters. Cheers from Spain!

[@mitchellbrown9378]

I’ve watched a lot of Rick’s videos. The one ‘new’ tip I saw here, which I don’t think I’ve seen before, was the club being a couple of inches above the knee. That was helpful, as I understand the shoulder width, and the ball position, but struggle with how far away I should stand from the ball. Will be doing this, next time at the range. Thanks Rick! ⛳️

[@PK-wo4vo]

Never seen this tip before either! I will be doing this check before every single shot from now on 😁

[@mitchellbrown9378]

@@PK-wo4vo genuinely think this will help get more consistent strikes. They might all be hooks or all be slices, but that’s the next hurdle 😂

[@Vcize]

How did it work for you? Feels like I'm standing way too far away from the ball when I do that.

[@mitchellbrown9378]

@@Vcize felt strange, because was actually a bit closer to the ball than I normally set up (fade/slice has always been my natural shot lol) but getting used to it slowly and seeing the slice less frequently 👌🏼

[@theythinkimmadyouknow]

Rick at his best...coaching, total natural at this.

[@MrSimonpug]

Great lesson. Been back at it not much more than a year and really got the bug bad. Never heard this advice and will definitely be using it. Straight forward and easy to follow.Keep up the awesome work Rick and the team.

[@lancephelps8143]

For me, this was an amazing golf lesson. Thank You😁

[@MonsterERB]

I sometimes struggle with consistently setting up regarding "how far away from the ball" I am. That tip about clubhead resting just above the left knee is a GREAT one, will try that the next time I hit the range. Thanks!

[@henryhealy]

As someone who's just started golf and only had two driving range sessions so far, this comes at a great time after I just wasn't feeling comfortable today!

[@bobbreit5244]

I love the grip touching the top of the knee trick. Using it.

[@kevinturner2598]

2nd time going out this year and this was the exact lesson I learned to be more consistent, Setup is the key

[@The_lefthandedgolfer]

Genuinely one of you best tip videos, SIMPLE!!!1!

[@TheHedderz]

Thank you Rick. This video has helped me a lot! Instead of chunking or slicing my shots, I hit shots that almost looked like I knew what I was doing

[@besticandogolf5901]

Helpful reminders never the less. Thanks Rick

[@sterlingwomackdfs29]

Good work Rick! Appreciate everything that you do! 💯

[@ezonex]

honestly that tip about setting up the club first and stance after is such a good tip

[@reubenarmitage1497]

🤩 just started refining my swing again for the golf season. Perfect timing with this video Rick!

[@FrontyardSoccer]

this is just an all time great video. we all thank you for this one

[@JM-tt4hp]

Excellent! We all need these reminders to keep growing in the sport. Thank you.

[@StephenLaidlaw-yp3hv]

Excellent and very helpful not over explained easy to follow guidance.

[@hazeldene2]

I played at the Cullinan in Belek 🇹🇷 2 weeks ago ⛳. Great place. Good to see you getting back to what you're good at.

[@RogerChandler-vl5de]

I’m gaming these Dynapower forged irons. They are superb!

[@JoelSmith-hx8tb]

Ooooh boy, this is a good one for my friend who’s just getting started.

[@rockerdude]

Tried this set up when I got home and holy crap I was making pure contact! Unsure if left or right because net but they were near middle clubface and just the sound and feel was pure af

[@connorfarrin92]

After losing a slight consistency with my set up I needed this video so badly! Perfect timing thank Rick!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@LUKEMELIKIAN]

Thanks! Going to try these this weekend

[@Holeinone007]

Great video Rick thank you instantly improved my contact and direction

[@lordship93]

Great advice, thanks! Would love to see more tips of this kind, meaning no "swing technique", but check list style tips I can learn and still hit my shot without (over-)thinking. Course strategy, pre-shot routine (wind, weather, etc.). This would really help!!!

[@DanilMaleckij]

1000% perfect video 🏌️‍♂️👍🏻Please more!!!

[@briantreadwell2206]

Always liked the instructional short v-lots, not viewed channel for a while so will play catch up 👍

[@robmatheson2100]

Love that tip Rick! I struggle with consistency being in the same position in my setup.

[@renatosansero9709]

countless hours of coaching on youtube and nobody talks about the simple stuff, well done Rick.

[@kevingowdy3651]

Keep these coming Rick. How about some tips for those of us in the senior age bracket? 👏👏

[@drews1941]

The club above the knee is a great reference I’ll be trying that.

[@brodybijeau7628]

I will definitely take this into account next time I go golfing!!!

[@Kilbride10]

Great tips! For sure going to use them and focus on rehersing the setup next time im practicing.

[@FinleyClausen-bu6oo]

Nice video! I’ll try this next time I hit the range or the course!

[@comatrip1ify]

Rick, this was exactly my problem this weekend. My dispersion was all over the club face. Thanks for the pointers!

[@TRoscoeMusic]

Love this style of vid

[@weeronnie100]

This is what I started watching RS for great great vid Rick 👍

[@hampusnemeth0801]

I wish the title of this video had mentioned set-up. Its something im looking to improve on at the moment and this video had some great tips. Had I known the video was about the set-up in particular, I would have watched it much earlier.

[@joeconstabile107]

Thanks Rick. Quick question can you use the 2 inches above the knee for resting the club for the driver as well as you 6 iron? That you used in this video. Thank you.

[@johnklein309]

Good tips. That’s pretty much my process too, but I might adjust my grip ever so slightly once I’ve positioned my feet to ensure it’s in the fingers , else all good.

[@danielconner3189]

Great vid, not too much info just the right amount to take to my next round

[@jaguarfarewellday]

Thanks Rick , so simple to follow

[@justinriddick1250]

Great video! Does the 2 inch check above the knee apply to the driver as well?

[@nickbraun1196]

Thanks Rick. This little tip helps more than people might think. I used to fat or thin shots before now that I set up club first it’s almost never. I do need some advice for shots 60yards down to 20 yards. This is killing my game. Please help

[@kyleferguson7073]

Wow a coaching video, course vlog style golf bidder challenge, just missing Rick cutting a ball in half for old time's sake! Well done as always

[@DavidMcclusky-e3p]

really enjoyed this video!

[@JCGOLF3]

Thanks Rick, great vid!

[@joeatkinson2348]

Like the tip of there the club should hit just above knee to get the correct distance away, find that the hardest thing to judge and has so many impact on the club path I assume. Thanks Rick.

[@Samsonovgolf]

I love this range at Cullinan Golf Club in Turkey! 🇹🇷

[@ngaruiyanganga2836]

Best of the best youtube lesson.

[@wiggypop]

Our golf season just started in the great white north. I’ve been killing it at the range. 95% hit accuracy. But it’s not working on the course at all

[@lynk3067]

summer is on its way im back to watch videos here for the season

[@GCKLXIX]

OMG, I am 10 games in and am able to par a few holes, but come off the course exhausted, trying to remember all these coaching tips.

[@lukezell4922]

About to take this to the course!

[@eamonnmcnamee2107]

Great tip will use it

[@robertshawnmitchell]

I was on the lesson tee just the other day and I mentioned to my coach that last week I'd dreamed I was igloo and that the night before I'd dreamed I was a teepee. My coach checked my grip pressure and told me I was two tents!

[@roberthammond5034]

Another fantastic tip, thanks

[@EthanSteidinger]

What’s your best advise for staying down during a swing? I find myself more often than not topping the ball and essentially dribbling it down the course. Any advice or possibly a video on this topic would be appreciated, thanks and keep up the good work!

[@coochycoo4395]

Found this video incredibly helpful but I have a question. With the driver set up, are you setting up the distance between the ball and your body still by checking to see if the shaft/grip just rests above your knee like the irons? Or is it something else? Thanks for the video! Great channel!

[@vinotimo7051]

Love the og content 💪

[@jettlii5872]

Needed this!

[@IanNubbit]

Literally searched this exact title this morning. Great timing lol

[@lx2nv]

Great tips!!

[@Cna90]

This is what I needed.

[@lancephelps8143]

Does the tip about the top of the handle relative to the knee apply to all the clubs?

[@thomasslowey5947]

As always nice and easy

[@wcardona85]

I miss these type of videos!!

[@mruff-i9x]

will try the knee test next time :) thank you!

[@Fraaip]

great tips!

[@nickmillar9651]

Great info

[@flyingbarll2137]

Thanks Rick !!

[@bobj8877]

Really miss these short instructional videos that brought me to RS in the first place.

[@ashwindersingh7540]

Thanks dear, now I am breaking 90 regularly. My next target is 85.

[@osu_zach]

Hey Rick, I feel totally backwards if I don’t get my grip right and then put the club head down. My feet position always comes last though. Anytime I don’t set the grip first I feel all kinds of whack. Is this alright or should I change it?

[@iDOESitMyself]

I’m sure your tip on shaft distance away from body is great for the average player that these videos are for, but I would like to hear your opinion on why some pros set up with shaft almost touching their… other shaft.

[@henryjohn972]

Thank You

[@jbponzi1]

One of top 3 issues in playing golf is the anxiety I have in trying to keep the game moving. I am not fastest player and more often than not find myself being pressured by other golfers and course marshals to keep'er moving. It really makes the game less fun. Resulting in playing far less golf than I would like to play. and much less desirable courses. Fortunately for me, my friends are supportive and patient.

[@ToastyZooker]

I just went and addressed a few of my clubs to see how it compared to this video... oh my gosh.. When I let my club rest against my leading leg it's almost at the top of my thigh. I tried to bring it down to just a few inches above my knee and re-address and it feels so weird. Feels like I'm reaching a mile for the ball, but I'll have to try it out later with an actual swing to see if I can even make contact.
