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.

So how does that help me

[@Corcky54]

I would say you should be a golf instructor at a club... but that limits who has access to your knowledge. I think KZbin is a perfect platform for you to share all the information that new golfers have NO idea they NEED to know. I can't change my swing. Changing one cog in the HUGE machine that is The Golf Swing, it changes like six other variables. I have my swing. No one else swings like me, but then again no one swings like Rickie Fowler! Great tutorial and general information for new golfers. My swing is like 90% of what you are explaining. I do things that no one I golf with does. My coaches have no idea why or how I do it, but my drives are straight every time. I can't explain it, but it FEELS natural to me. Great content. I hope you inspire more people to experience the heavenly feeling of being in the tee box. It's a sunny morning. Dew is still on the grass. It's 60ish degrees and warming up. The beautiful sight of how a fairway flows through the elevations and ground like it's planned by God himself. Wow what a novel... TL:DR - Great video :)

[@GreenKreeper]

I have been golfing for years. Always struggled with consistency. This video has totally changed everything. For years I have been told/ watched videos of people saying make sure you put your weight to the right side then move it back. I went and tried what you said in this video about weight near enough 50 50 then all to left side. And oh my god. It stops me lunging into it and has improved consistency so much !! Thanks very much

[@philodonoghue3062]

Clearest and most practical demonstration and explanation of all the too many KZbin channels. And loving the accent choom. 👌😄

How have you put weight forward? I started two months ago but keep hitting off back leg. I can’t move forward or get weight off back foot.

We are on holiday in at a place with a driving range, my son and I had never played golf before but wanted to give it a try. This video was perfect. We headed straight out after watching it and an hour later, were hitting some clean shots. I think we've caught the bug as we were talking about ways to improve later that day - thank you so much!

Thank you for the advice. Bought a few used clubs today and brought my 9 y.o. son to the park for our first try at golf. We brought 28 balls and only lost 4. 2 of my 28 shots went straight towards the target, around 100+ yards. My son wants to go back everyday now. After your advice, well see if we can run a line drive with much more power. Im confident Ill up my straight shots and get 15 of 28 straight down the line...thank you so much!

[@ParagonTheBear]

Stumbled upon this video because I was needing some videos to learn from so I could someday play with my fiancé's dad and have a good time playing golf with him out on the course, I've only started playing and getting into it about two weeks ago and I managed to make a mini-set to play with. Tried what you explained with a practice club so I could feel the swing and figure out what I need to fix for myself, along with pointers and tips from a lot of people I spoke to and it helped a lot. I may have to adjust my own positioning though, as I already have an L5 problem prior to learning and playing golf 😅 Thank you, Rick!

[@theburnetts]

Thank you so much Rick!! I watched this video and your older 6 part series on the complete golf swing. I have played golf for 30+ years, have never taken any lessons and struggle with ball striking and consistency. Your videos made so much sense and helped me really understand what I was doing wrong. Yesterday I went out to the range to try out what I had learned in watching your videos. WOW!! I was striking the ball so so so much better and so much more consistently! And I also watched your video on hitting a driver. Again WOW!! I made some adjustments based on that video and I can truly tell you I have never hit my driver so well!! Thank you so much! You have earned a subscriber and I can't wait to get out on the course and play a round.

[@robmannila7307]

This video is good, and the 6 part series is the best

[@dyates6380]

Thank you for this. I'm going to be sixty six in less than two months, retired eleven. months, and sorely need exercise and something to do. I used to work out a lot and had to finally stop after close to thirty five years due to basically wrecking my shoulders by continuing to work out even after advanced arthritis in both of them, resulting to bone on bone friction. I have had shoulder replacements in each of the past two years and only was on a golf course twice in my life, both times over thirty years ago, both times for nine holes, and BOTH times I was beyond horrible. I was basically comic relief for the other guys in the group. I told myself that I'm going to attempt golf next summer, and I really need to watch more videos like this because I have ZERO clue, but I'm going to see if my shoulders can handle it. You did. great job of explaining this. Thanks again sir!

[@itsryleeduhh]

This was actually really helpful! I had a golf lesson and they were GREAT don't get me wrong but i still was left with some uncertainty with the swing, your breakdown made it much easier to understand, been practicing swinging without a ball in my yard (obviously don't wanna send a ball flying into my neighbors window lol) but im hitting the range on Friday to see if i can't apply this new knowledge! Think I finally understand the weight transfer thing thanks to you!

[@atruebond]

Just have to say, after I dropped the "I've been playing golf for 20 years, I know how to play" bs, and actually realized that my frustrations that I'm not getting any better was because of my ego. I actually watched and changed up my approach based on this video and it was almost night and day difference. I am consistantly driving 275-300 yards now where before it could have been 200-225 and due to just irregular practice methods, could have gone in any direction.

[@garyosborne8906]

You need more PROFESSIONAL coaching. Mastering Rick’s tips will get you closer to making good contact but won’t stop hooks or slices. There is nothing “simple” or easy about playing good golf because there are so many moving parts that must work together with good timing. What causes your slice is a combination of your swing path and where the face of the club is pointing. If the face is more open than your swing path the ball will slice (or gentle fade) depending upon the difference. So, let’s say your target is 12:00 and your club face is pointed right at the target (12:00) but your swing path is moving toward 1:00. In that scenario your swing path is more “open” to face of your club. That will start right at your target (due to where the club face is pointed) but then draw or hook depending on how big the difference is between the face angle and swing path. If your club face was pointed directly at the target but your swing path was going to the left (say 11:00) that ball is going to slice. So, the first thing to do is start thinking like you want to hit the ball to the right and swing your club towards right field (baseball term). If you haven’t changed your club face that ball will probably start fairly straight and draw just a little. Get to the point you can routinely draw (or even hook) the ball and then try to control the draw. That is a much easier and beneficial starting point to learn to control ball flight. Just remember that it is the relationship between the face of the club and swing path that controls the ball fight. If your swing is open (right) in relationship to the face, the ball will draw (or hook). If the swing is closed (left) in relationship to the face it will fade (or slice).
