Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This KZbin channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
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!

Before we were allowed to make alignment marks, I'd always put the number facing where I wanted to make putter impact.

Reducing variability and building consistency is how even average golfers can improve.

If you think something works for you, then it will. You make the reality in golf.

The effects are in your own head, but doesn't mean they aren't real.

[@thomasrussell4674]

So true in many parts of life too. Not all, like falling off a building no amount of positive thinking will avoid hitting the ground, but... succeed in a job interview? Absolutely. Golf is similar to life in that many people compete with similar levels of physical ability, knowledge and skill, but differ in self belief and accordingly in perseverance. That's why certain elite sports don't see catastrophic failure due to loss of ability, or sudden forgetfulness of proper technique, but simply choking

I’m with it but you lost me at back spin

[@ryanb4533]

There is technically backspin and launch angle on putts because putters do have loft. It’s minuscule (less than half a rotation) and I seriously doubt it makes any difference in the number of holed putts. I’m sure he has data and I’m sure that data shows a difference if some sort. But that probably doesn’t equate to a difference in putts comings up short or long or left or right.

[@CivSkates]

Turns it over more. (He must mean topspin here). Under puts backspin, causes a skid and slows the speed of the ball. That’s why he say the fast putts matter less, they just power through the skid and start to roll while still moving with good pace.. So, is this a missspeak?

[@mattparker3349]

If youve ever lipped out from 5 feet and it lipped all the way back to you half a rotation is a lot

[@ryanb4533]

@@mattparker3349 Not in the context of launch. I should note that I mentioned 'less than half a rotation' just to build in some margin of error. We're actually talking about considerably less than half a rotation. Less than a 16th of a rotation. Either way, it's not going to matter. You don't know if that lipped-out putt would have actually gone another half a millimeter left or half a millimeter right because you hit one or two ridges on a dimple. You're well within the random chance range at that point.

Back spin on putter from five feet from hitting top golf ball yeah he's fucking with us

[@joso5554]

As soon as you hit the ball at the equator (mid height), it will initially slide forward without rotation, then get rolling from the friction with the grass. Pretty much like an aircraft wheel at touchdown, but in a much more gentle way. Actually, most putters even have a little bit of loft to launch the ball and not have it contact the grass immediately. Just a couple millimeters height before it falls back.

[@Go__Birds]

Putters have 3°s or so of loft, which creates back spin. Trying to hit the equator, you could possibly top it.

Bro is also, and has also been, one of the best putters on tour for the better part of a decade.

When you don't or can't hit the same spot everytime it is crazy, but when you're that good and your equipment is sooo dialed in it probably could make a small difference.

Everyone keeps saying this guy has changed and is now one of the most liked guys on tour. I don’t think someone who was a wanker could actually change and stay liked. His old self would come out at some point. I think this dude was probably always a legend and just had a few shitty moments that warped people’s perceptions of him.
