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.

8th like means I’m gonna make a hole in one

[@ashwright7675]

Loving the graphics used Rick 👌

46th like... Do I have to wait til January? I'm in Florida lol...

[@danharrison3031]

Can we all take a minute to appreciate the editing on the ‘imagine the practise stroke going into the hole section’ 10/10

[@Golfzilla70]

that wasn't editing, that was Rick showing off his new degree from Hogwarts

[@williamwei6603]

That animation lead me to your comment!

[@Calmdown1354]

And the gianyt bucket hole! Thats what I've been aiming at all along. Tee sounds like a much better idea!!

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

It's like a DreamWorks animation production.

[@treezun]

I don't know, that editing has me questioning everything he does now...

[@colinboublik8305]

Going to watch this video... and then probably go 3 put everything today

[@kyletoepke3989]

Same lol

[@clayboy_20]

100%

[@kylespringer640]

54 putts in a 18 holes. My normal.

[@stantonfuerton]

Damn, I can't wait until I put that few

That editing at 5:10 ... I couldn’t stop laughing! Wasn’t expecting that! Nice touch though

[@brendansullivan1575]

@RickShielsPGA these videos have drastically improved my game. There are 100’s if not 1000’s of videos on youtube trying to fix your game. If I retain your info, slow it down while practicing, and then get the muscle memory, there are no betting instructions anywhere than yours. It sound weird but i literally love you man. You know how frustrating golf can be, but when you know and feel what you’re doing wrong and can fix it, it makes it a “challenge” instead of frustrating. I appreciate you so much my man thank you for every second you put into this for your fans and fans of golf 🙏🏼

[@johnsouza4391]

Good tips. My whole game improved when I learned to make almost all 3-footers. So to "think positive" about longer putts, I would move half way closer to the hole and practice my stroke. I knew I could make that so I could see the longer putt rolling over my practice stroke line. Helped with confidence and positivity. Also makes lag putting easier.

[@codyf296]

Love the tips but 2 real things I'm impressed with here Rick. 1 is the beard, 2 is the editing on the practice putt tip.

[@OntheFringeGolf]

Beard game is STRONG! Zach on our channel has a solid one but not quite on Rick's level haha

[@2twosix6]

Like so he can see... jesus christ the editor is insane tho

[@TheFoyer13]

I could've watched that ball go into the hole and pop back up for hours.

[@zeruzio1345]

Didn't even finish the video, came to the comments looking for the props for the editing!

[@kyleterpstra9432]

Great content, Rick! You helped me with my "only mistake," and now I make sure to practice all my putting drills to a tee peg..... with great results! Thank you! 🤘🏻

[@collincronin7272]

Man, I’ve watched about a dozen of your videos and have really seen my game improve. I was apprehensive to start watching golf tip videos at first because I thought that I would get too much info in my head and just complicate things further. But I’ve picked up just a tip or two in each of your videos and never feel like I’m being over loaded with technicalities. Thanks so much for the lessons!

[@Golfzilla70]

This may very well be your best video yet to help folks improve their games/ handicap levels. I've watched you for years, and there's at least something in this video that pertains to just about everybody, and just about everybody can get better by following these putting recommendations.

[@garybrumley3519]

Always good to revisit the basics. A lot of us have played a long time and, at least for me, tend to forget little things. I certainly appreciate your great videos.

[@eastcoast465]

Rick is a great teacher, easy to understand and relatable to a amateur like me. I really wish I could have just an hour with him to ask all my questions, but I will settle for his videos I have learned a lot. Thanks Rick love your channel.

[@raimrising5464]

I like your teaching style Rick! It's like golfing with a good buddy that actually helps you out with positive thoughts and tips.

[@ameliemarling4816]

Thanks so much Rick! This will definitely improve my score a lot! I learn so much from you and my game has come a long way!!

[@nishantkadyan15]

I recently started watching this channel but I must admit that these tips that you give are so real life and easy to implement. love your content. keep up the excellent work

[@DavidVII7]

Dude, these tips are 🔥 I've been wanting to spend more time practicing my putting and now I have a good idea of what that looks like. Cheers!

[@evilroc]

I just watched a video where someone asked Peter Finch if he was Rick Shiels. Oh the look of defeat on his face was priceless LOL!!

[@jackpd34]

Link? I need to see this lol

[@garethjxl1]

Have to say the editing quality / animations on these videos are so good. Makes them so watchable and relatable. This is why it is the best KZbin golf channel in the world. Great work team.

[@dannyg8391]

Great video rick you've helped my game massively as I've only been playing for a couple of years thank you.👍🏻

[@Oh22Yeah]

Glad to see you including sports psych into your videos, Rick! Thanks for the tips :)

[@petelandry1149]

Really appreciated this video. Great advice. Always enjoy Rick’s insights.

[@sippysippywakewake]

I love the tip of a tee upside down as a target! I've been trying this around the house and that little bit of positive feedback when knocking the tee over is surprisingly satisfying! I also tried the warm up drill of getting the green speed by putting to the edge of the green from short, medium, and long range before a par 3 round yesterday and I was even par after 5 holes for the first time in my life! My putting was dialed in. Thank you!

[@nwislamicschool]

Great video and thank you for excellent series of practical tips for the weekender golfers, who want to improve their game for enhanced enjoyment

[@huntermcwilliams4664]

Getting fancy with that editing on the practice putting stroke! Love the video!

[@valavanurcuddalore]

Absolutely brilliant and very practical tips. Can't wait to try them out tomorrow 😀

[@darrenhesketh8355]

I've got my first ever game next week. Going on my own so no pressure. All these videos have helped me learn enormously.

[@mybrothersbrother7699]

Great video Rick. I don't hit the ball nearly as far as my playing partners do, so I try to keep my putting below 30 putts per round. This video definately will help me continue that. Thanks!

[@ceaganbothma1855]

Great video Rick... This will definitely help me with my putting. Keep it coming.

[@nickbusby7018]

Watching this right before my first ever tournament. Feeling confident Thanks RicK!

[@suhaskarjihi8999]

I just started playing golf and probably learnt more from rick's videos than my lessons. You're doing a great job man. Kudos!

[@zacharyoxendine3614]

Have come to love your channel Rick, have been using tons of your tips and tricks to better my golf game. Also love the giveaways, shows your passionate about your fans! I’ve turned in notifications and am always watching to become a better golfer, as a teenager it was just basketball and baseball for me but your videos have made me fall in love with golf and want to become better! Keep up the good work friend 👍🏽👍🏽

[@michaelbruce4109]

Amazing vid, Rick. I've bookmarked it because I'm going to watch it again prior to my next round (in 4 months). As others have said, the quality of this video jumped out at me too. The editing and effects were next level. Keep it up!

[@kogotochek]

Thank you Rick. Did use your advises today. Improved my score and the joy of the game

[@roeydaz]

Great stuff! Valuable advice and worth a 2nd watch! Thanks Rick.

[@ajhyndman]

used these tips yesterday, worked a treat, especially like the practice putt the same as actual putt and visualizing it going in, knocked a few strokes off my round, cheers Rick.

[@dute3819]

Great tips Rick...can't wait to apply them to my putting!

[@eliaal-jazrawi5150]

Hi Rick , I love your pre-warm up vids

[@rabassum]

Excellent putting advise. Playing for the last 20 years, did know of them. Thank you. Regards

[@AzuFoodie]

Best putting advice ever!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@loganuon5400]

Thanks for the tips Rick I am going on Saturday I will try them out

[@Itsjustjrake6567]

Love you so much Rick I love tour vids I love everything you do when I was getting in to golf my first golf video I watched was yours

[@connorsheehangolf7851]

Rick's the man! A real inspiration. Just a stand-up, good dude

[@patrickmaes3418]

I 'imagined the practice strokes to go in' today and my putts were amazing! Worked great, improved my HCP! THANKS!

[@zbob7411]

Great stuff! Things we probably know (most of) but fail to execute when we play. Thanks! (Loved the animation at 5:11. What a cute way to illustrate "imagine the ball going in the hole".)

[@richardsykes6575]

New golfer here, I recently found your channel & have consumed alot of your content. Great editing, genuine & has helped my game ALOT. Thanks for all you do.

[@mikeales2907]

I love it: All of these tips are equally important, especially number 7... Great stuff

[@bogetostart9550]

Thanks Rick. These tips are great! The upside down tee peg in the living room is spectacular for me right now.

[@spoiledwelbourn7117]

This is my favorite so far. Love these tips and demonstrations.

[@benmonroe_the_1]

This was a very helpful video, thanks Rick!

[@BrianTigerRider]

Thank Rick. 1st game back today after 2nd lockdown. Watching all your vids during lockdown obviously done me some good as shot +4 gross. 😍😍😍 normally shoot in the 80's.

[@billclifton3267]

I've watched a lot of putting videos over the years, but that was the most informative one by far great job Rick.

[@iriandasusilo572]

Yet, another great video that will help me personally. Thanks Rick!!!

[@michaelplantarich3375]

The ball animation was cool in this video. Thanks for the great tips and keep up the awesome work!

[@ggaspord]

Great tips Rick. Now I have a system for practicing before playing.

[@gregmarcou1705]

Those were great practice drills. Thanks!

[@paulleclaire2141]

One of the best videos you've ever done Rick. Fantastic

[@logankranstover294]

That was 7?!?! I was just getting into it and then it was over...shot 43-33-76 today (so much for consistency), I need to find your bunker/chipping/pitching/30-50yd shot videos stat and I’ll be under par! Thank you so much for your inspiring videos Rick 💪🏽

[@amac8487]

Wow. Great tips Rick! Many things that seem like common sense... but in actuality I never even thought about before. Thanks!👌

[@christopherscherer5256]

Rick I love the tips. Your video special effects are getting great too!

[@andrewpowell8056]

One of the best putting videos i’ve ever watched. Keep up the great work and great videos!

[@jaciobe]

@Rick Shiels Golf love these tips especially the last one. Gonna try that one!

[@manrajrandhawa3564]

Another Amazing video ! Keep them coming Rick 👍🏻

[@chickychai2807]

Rick, can you do a video on the grip you use for putting. I also putt LHL and would love to hear some of your insights as far as grip pressure, hand placement, which hand dominates the stroke, etc...

[@MrPortsider]

Great tips Rick. You are always worth listening to. The king of golf vids for sure!

[@matthewmartindale839]

Thanks Rick. This is all sensible stuff, really useful.

[@jaymishur1105]

Always great tips in your videos! Thanks for posting! Merry Christmas Rick! 🎄🎁⛳️

[@jaybird9988]

All great advice..thanks Rick

[@myorca9687]

One of your best videos Rick - excellent. And some great illustrative editing. Pity we're already into the last round of my club championships here in Queensland (Australia). Might still be in the hunt if I'd twigged to this three weeks ago!

[@Zapple7]

Amazing what you can learn from a few "simple" tips from someone who knows exactly what they are talking about, just genius 👏 especially tips 1 and 7.. brilliant.

[@TheFreddyfloyd]

great video Rick. watching the ball past the hole can also apply to chipping. as a low marker I aim to make putting close to 1/3 of my total strokes. Putting / chipping saves tour scores more than any part of the game.

[@jeuneoiseau]

that putting special effect you used during the negative thinking tip visualizing the practice stroke was so cool to see!

[@michaelwelfare6920]

Great video. Really struggle with my contact and speed so deffo going to be putting at tee pegs at home whilst the weather is bad

[@kyleterpstra9432]

Love your videos, Rick!! Thank you!!

[@DomenicoIorfino6470]

Kudos to the video editing staff. Cool special effects. Great tips.

[@barrylee5846]

Thanks Rick! Great suggestions.

[@ryanpitt1989]

Perfect timing for a video like this! My handicap comes from poor work around the green and looking for a good putting review. Thanks for your spot-on video, Rick! P.S. I need that 'ball going in the hole' soundtrack :)

[@JmylesJ]

Great vid & tips Rick! Thank you!

[@disisyournormalperson6161]

THis video helped me a lot thanks Rick!

[@nschive]

Nice tips! Thank you :) Hoping for a video soon where you play 6 or 9 holes and talk about what you think on each shot :) where you aim, why you lay up, what club, flatten club, fade approach+++ I think those video's are very helpful!

[@brianharris22]

These tips are equally important 'especially' the last one 😂 love it and can't wait to see someone putt towards the side of the green, 'so you watch Rick too then' it'll be like a secret handshake 🤝

[@TG13ores]

awesome vid and sweet animation on the confidence/ practice putt

[@hildahudson2344]

Nice graphics! Enjoyed the imagine your ball goes in the whole as you do your practice shot tip 👍🏼

[@anthonyadracs5047]

All of these videos have helped me tremendously. Rick is a great teacher even though videos.

[@some_random_raccoon]

Thanks you for the tips

[@iangompertz5537]

Great video, great tips - learn the speed of the green that day on tip 1...I've played hundreds of courses and never has the putting green reflected the speed of the greens on the day but

[@Wiewel1960]

Very useful and humbling at the same time💪 assessment of the speed of the green and aiming small were valuable tips👌 A new and happy subscriber!

[@cpat7065]

Excellent video and great advice. I always feel like I add six or seven three putts to my round due to stupid mistakes. BTW you have quite an awesome video editor helping you out. Cool effects.

[@glenfrazer753]

Rick, great vid. Thank you. One tip you could possibly add is for people to try and pick the specific part of the hole they want the ball to roll into from, like a clock face. Golfers can tend to see the front of the hole generally as the entry point for all their putts, which while understandable, is not the widest part of the hole for a breaking putt. So for example, if it's a breaking right to left putt, even though the widest entry point is usually between say 4 o'clock and 5.30, depending on the strength of the break (i.e. if 6 o'clock is the closest point to the player), they still somehow see the 6 o'clock point as the entry point. After all, it is the widest point from their view when they're putting. If we can see/feel the entry point this can help us commit, and help prevent us "chickening out" from going high enough. Next time, have a look at the hole from the entry you want the ball to take. Just quickly. If your brain can see the ball entering at say 4 o'clock you will probably 1. be more willing to roll it high enough and 2. benefit by having the ball entering the hole at it's widest entry point, a double benefit. Cheers.

[@HillbillyJedi88]

Great video Rick and thank you for the tips! I'll be trying out a few of those ideas in the future. But I do have an idea for a video. What about testing some Bettinardi putters? Just off price comparison they look as though they are in the Scotty class and I'd be curious to see if the price and feel is the equivalent to the Scotty putters. Thanks again for the great content!

[@jakob4053]

One of your best videos, Rick! Thx for all your tips

[@davepoulsen1007]

Love the roll into the roll graphic - well done RS

[@ianm9677]

Rick, that last tip is spot on, I do the same with my chipping, I chip to an alignment stick stuck into the ground. On a good round, I can chip in two or three times. All great tips

[@francoisdaems7409]

Always looking forward to your videos. Have been a great help for me

[@tomzoretic482]

Rick great information here. Your content is so useful.
