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.

The feeling after striking such a shot is just indescribable

[@ryanward9432]

Love your videos. I am just getting back into golf after 7 years not playing, until my wife passed away and I needed an escape. Watched all your videos and have played 2 games this year and shot 97 and 93. Thank You for all your tutorial videos they have helped me so much.

[@highhheruppp2162]

Sorry for your loss

[@ianbustin4341]

Hey, it has been a few years since you left this comment. From one stranger to another, how have you been doing? I hope all is well. Keep staying strong brother, remember it's always okay to ask for help.

[@silkmd]

as a low income person I just started play golf last week (first time) hitting the ball …KZbinr like you is my coaches … thank you very much for videos step by step

[@timothybevis6095]

I really needed that lesson. Been having lots of trouble hitting my mid to lower irons. Thanks Rick.

[@scangs25]

Golfed Sunday and was saying “boy I need to see if Rick posted any iron shot advice”.....and you didn’t disappoint....thank you for this!

[@thegolffreak]

2022 is year 4 of golf. Down from my first index of a 25.2 to a 8.4. Thanks for all the help. Breaking 80 more regularly this year is #1 goal.

[@josevictoriavids]

wow, you are breaking 80s on your 4th year, that's impressive! Well done!

[@DeeJaySssTheSecond]

We started in the same year but I’m still only breaking 90 on my best days. You’re doing great!!

[@edwardstroko4665]

I hate u!!! 😂 just kidding!! That’s awesome!! I’ve been playing 19 years and I’ve only broke 90 a few times!!! Golf is a lifetime lesson that is never mastered, is what I tell my 14 yr old son that started playing a month ago and he is doing amazing already!! He still has a lot to learn!! 😎💪🇺🇸⛳️🏌️‍♂️

[@SKAMGOD]

This my second year out golfing and your videos really help my game. I’m actually amazed with my progress thanks to practicing what you show on your channel. Thanks man!!

[@guibox3]

Watched this before I went and played golf yesterday, trying to incorporate your instruction. What a drastic improvement in my iron strikes and my chips to the green. Think I only hit the ground behind the ball once or twice and was getting much more consistent loft than I usually got. Thanks so much! I am learning a lot from you!

[@jonathangarlinghouse]

Rick, I appreciate you continually giving us valuable tutorials that are easily understood. The on-screen graphics are so helpful as well. Thanks to you and your team!

[@oldfartgolf]

A+ for the graphics and animation here, Rick! It really is next-level professionalism. I love it.

[@poopykatsuki]

You are a good coach Rick. You keep it simple. That revolving around the sternum trick has improved my ball striking immensely, especially my irons. Awesome dude.

[@krubz2045]

Started playing golf in August. So thankful I've found your channel, Rick! Learned so much about improving my game and having a laugh when it's just not my day.

[@ericreader3984]

Just started watching your videos in the last month( I just started golfing again after a 20 year hiatus) absolutely some of the best content for new golfers. Easy to understand tips and pointers. Keep up the good work and thanks for helping the golfing community out.

[@donaldtownsend3785]

Rick, this video helped me so much! I have been struggling this year. I was coming off the worst round of my life and had zero comfort swinging the club. Watched this video and worked on these techniques for an entire range session. I have never been more confident swinging the club, not just irons. This helped me fix my swing path by focusing on the rotation around the left leg. Keep up the great content!

[@Keyevns89]

Just started playing golf on the range to practice. I came across your videos a few weeks ago and must say they are thoroughly detailed. I feel like they will really help me out going forward. Great job!

[@brutus2288]

Major props to the new editor... easily my favorite video of yours, just based on the quality of content and the added context brought in digitally. 👌🤘👍👍

[@craigmarthaler294]

Thank you for all the videos. Crazy to believe a video can help so much! Before this video I have always shot between 91-100+. I just shot my personal best in 9 holes with a 36 to be +1. It was absolutely insane how well I struck the ball with my irons and how straight they went. Keep up the great videos and extremely helpful tips.

[@jaswinder1342]

FREAKING GREAT GODNESSS IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THESE FOR HOURS TODAY. AND FINALLY MY MAN JUST UPLOAD IT. I FELT BLESSED AND WANTED TO THANK YOU

[@lclmana]

Omg, this video is amazing!! I watched this before playing 18 today and my iron striking was so much better....addressing the golf ball was so key, i am a newer golfer so this video saved me!! 🔥🤙🏽

[@allspinzone2]

I've been struggling with my irons lately. This video got me right back on track nearly immediately.

[@jeffreycohen35]

Rick has been a tremendous help in improving my golf game. He explains all types of shots clearly and patiently. I have watch various golf pros and their instructions but I feel I am getting more from Rick each and every time I take his lessons. My game has show improvement since watching Rick and I thank him for that!

[@speedy3714]

Thank you so much for posting all these helpful videos! I played golf for the first time last year and honestly your videos have been massively helpful in improving my game. It's been a lot of fun incorporating the tips and guides you have put out and actually seeing an improvement. The breakdowns of the swing mechanics and ball placement as well as the explanations have been super helpful.

[@renwra1384]

I really, really want to thank you Rick. I picked up golfing 4 weeks ago and your tips have helped me enormously. I still only hit about 80-90 yards with my 7 iron but have gone from hitting 2-3/10 balls to +7/10. Need to work the hips more but all I can say is i'm hooked to both golf and your channel. Keep up the great work and positive spirit 👌.

[@dfeidt40]

I improved 18 strokes the last half of the summer watching your videos. This one helped A LOT! Thank you!

[@mikemolokhia3616]

I don't think I could even put into words how helpful this video has been. All of the videos on this channel I'm addicted to but this one literally made me do a little dance on the tee today! Yesterday I had the worst round. Golf balls flying about everywhere. Not gonna lie, it felt shite. So I dialled in and watched this before I went out again today! That one point about moving your sternum past the ball on the downswing has fixed the reoccurring nightmare that is iron shots instantly! You are a legend Rick Sheils. Many thanks for putting out content that actually makes sense and is instantly noticeable.

[@tylerbean8265]

This is going to be a big one for me. Been playing now for a few weeks. Just started keeping track of my own ball/own score (vs best ball/scramble with buddies), lots of room to improve and iron play is certainly one of those. Saving for the future on this one!

[@user-ce6pb5be1d]

Thanks man! With your tips I’m hitting my irons so much better and I’m going under 10 handicap nearly every round! Big thanks mate!

[@valtrex_itch5987]

Just started out golfing at 40 yrs old, and your videos help my game so much. Much appreciated from Seattle, USA

[@daviddavies6196]

The best golf instructor on the net No BS No Ego just excellent tips thanks Mr Shiels

[@volkanyuksel8830]

Rick What I like with all your videos, is that they are perfectly illustrating the subject, the format is just perfect (short enough to have detailed explaining and not too long to get bored!), then you go straight to the point and stay focused!! Thanks so much ! Keep continuing

[@marioaguiar4355]

You're the man!! The myth!!! The legend!! I improved so much the last couple months. Your videos are brilliant.

[@MrMichaelcostigan]

Thanks Rick, a very well crafted instruction and this is my "go to" video whenever I lose my swing. The way that you breakdown the swing is simple and clear.....keep them coming...cheers.

[@giovannisciartilli8029]

Rick I am in debt to you for the rest of my golf career your videos especially this one has helped me tremendously it’s my first season golfing and people think I have Ben playing for years you could not have made learning these clubs any easier you cover all the bases and it’s greatly appreciated

[@treymoslof22]

rick you are the man. i watched this video this morning and went out onto the course and tried these things and shot my best round ever by 6 strokes! started playing again in January and just shot +4 back 9!

[@danmaardeze]

Thanks Rick! Especially the tips about moving your sternum to the left has helped. Between you and Peter I've had so many tips that now that I've (finally) got my Hcp registered I will win my first match like I've been playing for all my life. Again, thanks for the great tips!

[@jonm6437]

Thanks Rick! This is exactly what I’m working at in my game at the minute. I don’t struggle with too many fats or thins but I never take a divot after the ball. I don’t take a divot at all. I’ll give this a go. Keep them coming mate. 👍🏻

[@kathydowney7471]

OMG! Just followed you process on irons and the driver. Have been struggling for weeks, not able to figure out what I was doing wrong! You fixed me! Absolutely amazing instructor! THANK YOU!!

[@johnrobinson1664]

Rick, you always make the ideas of your instructional videos very clear and easy to follow! Good on you mate!

[@morturn]

Super video Rick. Just being a part of the dialogue between yourself and a master on how they read and play the course is a real eye opener. Thanks.

[@andygreen2765]

I find the key for me in the take away is to think about getting my lead shoulder to point at the ball, then i push my hips towards the target to start the downswing. Been hitting irons like a dream (for me) since I started that. Separate note RS, been hooking drives badly, watched your video on this and now hitting some of the most consistent drives ever. thanks chap!!!

[@MrDudman_]

This video is going to help people years after it was made just like me I started about a month ago and your videos are so helpful, nothing is long winded and poorly explained you get straight to the point and with perfect examples! Thank you.

[@florentdufour1665]

I've been playing golf again since a long time because of your videos, and I'm having my best time ever ! You rock man !

[@Martin-nd9pg]

Cheers Rick. You don't overcomplicate with long and tedious lessons unlike most instructors on here. It's the simple things we all forget to do 👍

[@larrykornegay9489]

You are one of the few on youtube that I can watch. Last week I crushed all but two drives to find myself missing the green in regulation. This week will be better....thanks Rick!

[@user-pi9qf9ft7d]

Love this video, basically everything of an iron swing

[@timlillard390]

Another excellent video from the King of Golf Fun, Rick Shiels! Thanks Rick, for all your great instruction and tips and playing videos. You've been a tremendous help on my road back to playing golf.

[@jaylisted9714]

Went from shooting around 100 to finishing my round last week with an 82 from watching your videos...in less than a month!!! Amazing videos!! I've recommended them to all my golf buddies.

[@nunziocarlucci405]

Great video Rick! Irons have always been a challenge for me; I do however, manage to connect okay but I'm struggling to get my swing going this season. This video should help immensely. Thank you!

[@Sgt_Snacks]

Definitely needed this! Just got fitted for new irons. They finally came in and I’ve been struggling to hit them pure. Will give these tips a try! Thanks Rick!!!

[@baileyburkhardt]

Editing is on point Rick! Also this video was perfect because yesterday my irons were horrendous haha

[@fitzgeraldmcmillion3609]

I really appreciate how simple you keep your tips. I’ve been able to take them to the range and course and see the positive results. On a side not I’m playing tomorrow and I’m gonna be well prepared to have a solid round. Yhanks

[@bryndavies6501]

🏌🏻 Brilliant! Great concise content. Great script. Great graphics. Great production. Well done Rick. Loved every minute. 👍🏼

[@bquinn82]

Great video! Your editing game has greatly increased since I first started watching. Your tips have really helped my golf game. Your simple, straightforward approach is just what I need. Keep it up!

[@hick5y]

Great vid Rick, looking forward to applying a few of these! In the last few weeks I've queued aiming at the ground past the ball, instead of the ball. Whenever I shank a shot I know I was aiming at the ball, so bring my mind back to the ground and rip it on the next.

[@Natedoc808]

Great video. I’m playing the Cobra one lengths and prior my best club was my 4&5 irons, now everything is length of a seven so a mid iron- so this video will help my game tremendously. I’m going to set up the mat and video myself to see what’s happening in my swing. Kudos to your video editor, keep up the great work!!

[@davidsookram6714]

Thank you thank you Rick for your amazing lesson videos. Thanks to you i am now really enjoying my game. Following your advise and lessons i have actually broke 90. 2 days in a row i shot in the 80's. You have improved my entire game immensely. So much appreciated.

[@scottmccoy2308]

Great video as always. Just what I needed to see. Last 2 rounds have been hitting behind the ball. Thank you. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@user-yl8xi2xq1q]

Rick, as someone returning to golf after 25 years and back then there was no real content to watch online, I've found your advice on the videos invaluable. It makes me realise that I really did not know what I was doing, one way or another! Although I wasn't a terrible golfer back then, at times it didn't look pretty!! Together with modern technology at the range and the precise nature that you use for instruction, I'm hoping to finally get out onto a course and play again. Thank you, keep doing it!!

[@benashley410]

I saw your video on the distance of your driver club head from your body and your the video on the proper grip and it resolved issues I've had from the first time I picked up a club. Thank you!

[@Chulo0210]

Once again you make it look so easy. Thanks Rick for making it so easy to understand the techniques, I think I’m going to be a better iron hitter after watching this video over and over for the last week. You are definitely the man!

[@user-sc9ec2ib7y]

Started out my year amazing based upon really focusing on the set up videos! Simplified my game playing my best golf because of this! R. Shiels GOATED

[@scohen1234]

Your video was a great help to me as a beginner to understand how to connect the club to the ball. One point that I noticed in the video but was not mentioned was the way you kept your left arm completely extended during the entire swing. I had been bending my elbow significantly on the backswing. This one change in my stroke improved my accuracy and distance enormously. It may be worth mentioning and demonstrating correct arm position throughout the stroke in a future video.

[@gssgaston]

you're such an incredible teacher, explain what we're trying to accomplish then simply break down how to get there. my golf game has improved so much after watching so many of your videos. thanks rick!

[@RickShielsPGA]

That’s awesome to hear 🙌

[@TheCymbalProject]

The graphic overlays really help.... It makes your instruction super clear & digestible.

[@Mag.m]

Just wanted to leave for the driving range, this video comes at the right time

[@edray3307]

You are a fantastic instructor. My ball striking has improved immensely since I started watching your videos. Golf is so much more fun.

[@robmuzzin3672]

Excellent and unparalleled use of video, text and audio. These are outstanding. Thank you.

[@christopherjamesblackwell]

Your series about how to swing a golf club changed my life and probably saved me a couple grand. I'm 38 and I've been golfing for 8 years with hand-me-down clubs. I had this idea to just go back to basics this spring instead of caving in to this nagging urge to get fitted and buy new clubs. Your videos identified about 4 or 5 things I was doing a little wrong. And in golf a little wrong can be a very bad shot. Anyways, just by focusing on the fundamentals you talked about in each video I was able to correct every part of my swing. It feels great to make good contact consistently and for the first time in my life I was even able to shape my shots. What I'm trying to say is THANK YOU

[@Jack-mh3rx]

This video helped me so much on my irons. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@X.MotoZilla]

Rick your amazing man! I appreciate every little detail I have learnt from you it has made golf so much more enjoyable!

[@Ky_Mycology]

As always Rick teaches me something. Need to concentrate on my follow thru. I tend to hit slightly fat and find myself coming up short. Continue the fantastic work man!!!! From Ky in The 🇺🇸

[@larrygamby5851]

Got sick and tired of hooking. I did these adjustments on my own and then confirmed with your video. Shot 79 with 11 pars and my drives looked like your shot tracker!! Thanks RS!! You are irreplaceable!!

[@zmn1474]

Thank you! Been golfing for 8 months, taught myself watching your videos. Just shot +5 the other day. 👍🏼

[@curtishargreaves6990]

On behalf of everyone who's never broken 80...f*** you :P thats incredible!

[@austyntuck2253]

Shooting +5 after only golfing for 8 months lol I call BS, not even a year and your claiming you are almost pro level, you have a gift if this is true
