SIMPLE GOLF TIPS - HIT THE BALL THEN THE TURF

[@RickShielsPGA]

HIT 👍 if you want more coaching videos

[@edput]

This video is very helpful. Where I seem to have trouble is when the ball is down or up hill. Is there an adjustment needed for these these lies?

[@Hockeybeast-bm4lu]

Not helpful

[@synx3014]

@colten how can this posibaly not be helpfull when you reply when the video came out 10 mins after you mentioned this video and the video is 8.30mins long I hate spiteful people who say this

[@sandyettles5453]

Yes rick.

[@drsquidius]

again with brilliant tips! thanks !

[@badzioch64]

This for me is the most important tip I’ve ever seen. I’ve been told a million times to keep my head still.

[@Terriblegolfer16]

You do keep your head still. You just slide your body for forward a little while you start coming down

[@bigboy9842]

Yeah you’re still keeping you head still

[@the1mexicant]

And you will keep getting told that until you stop looking up at the shot

[@Terriblegolfer16]

the1mexicant looking up at the shot makes you have a longer and more extended follow through keeping your head down too long bunches your neck and you follow through with no extension. 99.9 percent of your pros look up at the ball. Tiger probably does it the most but all of them do it

[@No_one_important22]

austi exactly. Tiger was always taught to keep his eye on the ball through the whole shot so he can get the best follow through. Where some golfers make the mistake is lifting the head too early which can cause your body to follow and a bad strike b

[@travistiffany5585]

Seeing the position of that divot in relation to the ball is extremely helpful. I would not have guessed that it should be 2-3 inches in front of the ball. I always thought is should be starting directly under the ball. And I wonder why I hit it fat so often. Something to work on. Thanks Rick.

[@MattTheFlyerFan]

Really like how added the component of the shoulder into this video. I feel like that has been my issue. Thanks Rick! Cheers!

[@Vic110hiphop]

Great Video Rick, keep up the good vids

[@roojones9958]

Literally thinking about why I can’t do this as I clicked on KZbin, what timing!!! Thanks rick, helped so much.

[@goblue7100]

What helped me a little is actually the feeling of putting more weight on my left leg (righty) and barely turning in the backswing and just follow through regularly

[@nacholibrerm5723]

It’s because your being tracked my brotha. Say something you wanna eat, within the next 24 hours you’ll see an add correlated with the topic.

[@johnrutter1667]

Massively the same!! Tried it today... F me, game changer!!

[@jakehoulihan4427]

Same haha

[@KSwift94]

I remember just starting out in golf, I was always told the way to effectively hit a golf ball, was ball first, grass after. Never could do it until really focusing on videos like this, now taking a divot every time, and distance of the ball comes flying off the face! Unbelievable and absolutely incredible feeling it is!!! Thanks coach!

[@christoth98]

This is such a great tip for beginners. For the longest time I thought you were supposed to have a divet before the ball.

[@yourfavoritechannel9112]

Avengers: The Investing Initiative don’t be a jerk??? He was wrong, now he’s not. No need to put down a beginner for doing something wrong.

[@infected4kill]

@Avengers: The Investing Initiative Because to hit the middle of the club your head may have to be in dirt so you can lift the ball more. Lol the hell dude foh

[@robertduffin3672]

Used these tips on the course today and shot my best ever round (12 shots less than usual). Thank you Rick 👍

[@brianshanahan9633]

Boom!! Finally I can hit the ball properly and not behind it like I have been! Lining the ball up with my sternum has been the best tip for me. I just had my best EVER session. I've never hit them so sweetly. Thanks for the videos, tips and podcasts. Enjoying them all. Much appreciated, Brian S from Sydney.

[@kindpuffin124]

It’s videos like this that makes Rick the best teacher on KZbin. Went to the range this morning after watching this video and my ball striking was fire! By the end of the bucket my divots looked like his which I could never do before. Dude this video was amazing! Thanks Rick!

[@shanethompson9651]

Definitely gonna be implementing these this morning at the range!

[@oatanton]

How did it work out for you? Curious

[@shanethompson9651]

@@oatanton it definitely helped, my whole swing needs fixed though lol

[@TheLgcookie10]

You make it so easy to learn how to play consistent, quality golf as an amateur. In a couple months I’ve gone from hitting in the low 100s to hitting 89 on par 72 twice in a row last week.

[@adammcsherry2556]

Rick thanks a lot your videos are amazing

[@Thomassacre502]

It’s always a good day when Rick posts! Your tips have helped me in my game IMMENSELY. Much appreciated for your videos.

[@nokia5359]

I found it !!! After watching for the 3rd time this week it clicked. It is rotating trail shoulder pass the ball BEFORE the strike that proved the lesson. Half an hour of practice on mat already showing improvements. But i can only do it at lower speed maybe at 60 or 70 percent. faster swing feel a very flatened shoulder plane. Keep practice and THANK YOU. Mu cho gracia señor.

[@e.davidjohnson2797]

I think this one your best teaching videos yet. Thanks Rick.

[@Sleaque]

hey rick, just wanted to say, im a new viewer, and new to golf, and i have watched a ridiculous amount of your videos, i love them! I would like to say, out of every video ive watched to help improve my game and gold swing, you are the only person that has been able to help me out with my swing. thank you so much! keep up the great work. I know im not the only one who feels this way :)

[@setworld5137]

Best golf advice/lesson I’ve ever watched!!! Has helped my game immensely!!! You do an amazing job teaching concepts By keeping it simple!!! Thank you for helping me improve my game!!!!!

[@MatteOhlund]

Yes! Was finaly able to hit my first long and good iron shoot! Big thanks for this video Rick!

[@billsmith1318]

Your coaching videos are simple but effective. I have used many of them and finally seeing an improvement, this will be added to my routine on the practice range, thanks again.

[@DaRRcYY]

I literally struggled for ages, I then just pictured hitting down on the ball in my backswing and it legit made my body and hips early rotate towards the target and I just started hitting clean divot shots I was amazed, still a lot to learn but I was very happy

[@gavynfrankenfield7998]

Love the videos Rick! I just started really playing a month or two ago. The videos are much needed!

[@jeffnahass8373]

Thanks coach. Keep these videos going. Wash rinse repeat. Wash rinse repeat !!

[@DJRaNdOm819]

Every week I watch one of your videos and work on those drills, today's video led to my best range session EVER! easily put 15-20% more distance and height. Cant wait for next weeks

[@trentonkrueger2370]

Anyone else trying to see what irons Rick is using? Dying to see what he switches to! Another great video.

[@oisinmccloskey6299]

He's still using the ping blueprints in this vid

[@Victor-512]

I think it will be Mizunos

[@trentonkrueger2370]

@@Victor-512 All his mates are switching to Mizunos.... I am guessing its going to be a combo set of Mizuno MP 20's and the MMC's. I don't think he will play the HMB's (It's what I play but I think its too much of a forgiving, aka chunky club for Rick).

[@Victor-512]

Trenton Krueger on his last video he was hitting his buddys HMB really good. Maybe just a 2i for off the tee

[@trentonkrueger2370]

@@Victor-512 That HMB 2 iron is lethal. I don't care how good you're, that club could be in anyone's bag.

Thank the Lord for this video! Have been wondering; your videos have been a massive help to my golf game.

[@markgibbs3496]

@Rick Shiels Golf I found this video looking through some of your older stuff. This is a great lesson and I appreciate it!

[@jameshannaford7598]

I've watched every one of your coaching videos and still learn something new every time!

[@ZickDorito]

Happy to see someone with good reach on the internet actually talk about 1 of the 3 fundamentals in golf and described in a good way nice work Rick!

[@jr7pin]

Your videos have improved my golf game by 10+ strokes this year. I'm consistently in the 80s now vs. the 90s. Thank you ... thank you...thank you!!!

[@andrewulrich5570]

This is so helpful it gives me a visual to focus on when swinging it helps a lot

[@scottsmith9192]

This is the one thing I really need to work on, thank you for the tips! I pick it clean too much and tend to hit slightly left. Heading to the range! Have a good day Shielsy!

[@corywhitehead83]

I watched this video this morning and went out in the afternoon and shot one of the rounds of my life. Been struggling a bit with the swung after taking some time off golf but your videos have helped tremendously get my swing back. Thanks Rick.

Working a life time to get this right, finally, this all makes sense. Gettin out there to try.

New Subscriber here. And a Three week old golfer. You're information is by far the best for me to follow. Thank you!

Many of your lessons have helped improve my game Rick, and I always seem to take away something positive. Cheers!

[@eddydeuschle330]

Rick...your the best guy on here for golf instructors! Good work!

[@WatkinsCody]

I found Rick Shiels golf videos a few months ago, and started implementing these tips into my game. I have taken 10 strokes off my score and gained 25-30 yards off the tee. Awesome videos!

[@thechado7868]

Just love your Explenations and Your Directions, watching some of your videos have shaved some points off my score for sure, so thanks mate

[@stephensmith7130]

Every time I watch a vid my golf game gets better,your a wizard,thanks 🏌🏻‍♀️

[@brandonsyanez]

Great advice and practice techniques. You inspired me to start playing golf again after a 10 year hiatus. My first outing back I shot lower using your tips than my buddies that had been playing more frequently. Granted none of us shot great but I had confidence in my shots throughout the round.

[@joshuawilliams7824]

Thanks for the refresher its good for me to just see the visual again sometimes

[@mattdavis3369]

I cannot tell you how much of a difference this made. Thank you so much Rick!

[@mavuk7366]

Great video, perfect for what i needed after struggling with this over the last round 👍🏻👌🏻

[@Bignice1]

Thank you Rick. Simply put but not as easy fir us amateurs. But it gives us points of reference to focus on at the range to achieve this ultimate strike.

[@rgrpncs]

Explained very well! each point was well presented and important for helping golfers play better and have more enjoyment from the game we all love.

Bravo Rick. Always good to see techniques spelt out in layman‘s terms. Definitely a confidence booster. Keep them coming.

[@raymondryan2958]

I have been following rick for a while now and I have improved my game enough that I now am playing from the point of the tee box instead of the men's tees, and I have not used more strokes! I really look forward to playing on sundays now also going to range 1-2 times a week helps. Thanx for the tips rick. Very big help!

This is what I’ve been struggling with. This video helped so much. Thank you

[@FlyingScot]

Been practising that this week. One of the things I tried out this week was after setting up, I focussed on the front of the golf ball not the back. Wow. What a difference for me. Could clearly hear the difference. That technique worked with the irons but not the hybrids or woods. Give it a try. I was amazed at the difference.

Defo 👍🏻 with more coaching videos helping my game so much score reducing every month

[@craiggoodman8241]

Well I have to say thanks to you Rick I have been watching you videos on how to use a driver and today I used a driver for the first time on a a golf course and I have to say your tuition Videos are wright on the money. Thanks again 👍 now I'm going to try this .

[@zyzda22]

Awesome, big focus for me right now, and very helpful breakdown! Idea for another one, that would really help me- how do you transition this throughout the bag and into the driver swing, where you should be hitting up on the ball? I really struggle changing my swing from irons to driver!

[@johnnycasswell7290]

Great reminders! Love the tee peg analogy which I hadn't heard before. Will keep that in my head when swinging!

Buenísimo. Sencillo, claro y directo. Me gustan tus videos. Un abrazo desde Asturias, norte de España.

[@sudsycloud6530]

You know what, Rick? Out of all of the advice, the tip about keeping the sternum over the ball is all I needed. It got the point across to stay straight because it gave me a reference to think about on the back swing. It feels weird forcing myself to stay still and not sway backwards. I didn't even realize I was swaying back before. I stood outside an hit about a hundred balls throughout the day today in to the net after seeing this and rarely had a mis-strike unless I did sway back (and I noticed I did it). Now I just have to apply this on the course. Thanks!

Great video Rick, very easy to understand and something I will definitely put into action

[@MrJnholmes1]

Great content, Rick - you break this fundamental into simple but highly effective parts of a swing. Keep 'em coming!
