The SIMPLE & EASY way to swing a golf club!

[@larrytalley117]

I can’t begin to tell you how much positive difference you have made in my golf game. I have been a subscriber of yours for years and always enjoy your videos. I am currently 76 and in 2020 I had a stroke that mildly affected my left side. I was still able to play but not as well as before the stroke. Prior to the stroke I was a 18 handicap and after more of a 24 to 26. I was still having fun, then in 2021 I started having left knee pain which resulted in a complete knee replacement in march of this year. I was not able to play prior to the replacement for almost 2 years and when I was able to start hitting on the range the feeling was as if I had never swung a golf club before. My timing was gone. But after watching a few of your videos something clicked and I started making contact again. Now after almost 50 years of playing golf I am starting over with lessons from my local course pro. I don’t expect to join the tour anytime soon but now I feel positive about playing again. Thank you. Next time you come to Arizona I hope to get to see you in person.

[@guyr7351]

Good luck glad to see your still enjoying this infuriating game

[@youngsunchild]

God bless you

[@MadMann5150]

This is your best golf swing instruction you’ve ever filmed! Simple, and with visual aids. Love it bro!

[@torroloco95]

As a bigger guy I been really trying to find my swing. It truly does help with you say it should FEEL like vs it should LOOK like. Hard for my swing to look like an average sized person. But I can understand how things feel and how they should feel and work with that within my swing

[@lavin214]

your complete swing guides are the best swing videos ive ever watched. to this day i still go back a watch them.

[@VincentFields-ww3zw]

Never gave much thought to how firm my grip is. I have been trying to strangle it. Went to the driving range at Bandon Dunes yesterday and held 50%. Night and day difference in consistency and accuracy. Thank you!

[@46pippi]

I just had my first lesson from a club pro and these exact things are what he showed me, almost exactly as you explained it.

[@kain0067]

He probably watches Rick Shiels, lol

[@bt9087]

Only difference u have to pay for it. 😂

[@adamshank7711]

I absolutely love these simple videos they help so much

[@freddywayne]

Solid step by step tips. I'm improving a lot now... the slight modification I use to help my upper-body weight transfer to the left side is having one swing thought of locking my left shoulder in place (kinda like a post up) and staying conscious of not leaving or pushing off my right (trail) foot. Boom 💥

This will help me explain better to my daughter, who is just startin 6:10 g to take up the game. Thanks Rick for the explanations and tips!👍

[@kenbrown2808]

it's a good thing to refresh the basics in the beginning of the season.

[@bab1374]

Thank you! This is the best instruction of golf swing I have ever watched! I am going to practice more and more!❤

[@philbark1414]

What a fantastic teacher! I’ve improved my game with just one day of watching your videos!

[@JustDecide1129]

Bout to be my first time playing tomorrow been practicing this 🤞🏼

[@rebekahharing6302]

How'd it go?!

[@danielbalbony407]

Sold! Thanks man, def super helpful to have the visuals and explanation.

[@sloppyjoey2369]

You have help me so much I went from 100+ to high 80s low 90s from your videos keep it up

[@andrewjordan58]

This video shows everything in slow motion which makes the swing look tight and tense. Id love to see a video on how to keep loose and gain momentum.

[@tunafishboi4236]

Thanks for the refresher Rick!

[@francisco9k183]

who else playing golf rn?!

[@thegentlemannerd]

Just finished my first ever golf lesson today. The instructor asked me if I watched KZbin videos for guidance, "You know Rick Shiels?" I asked. She chuckled and said yes. Thanks for these videos, Rick. Between you and her, my swing is significantly improved!

[@thedeeprot]

*WE WANT MORE BREAK 75 SERIES PLEASE RICK!* ⛳

[@Lybra338]

Now might just be my experience, but I feel like a lot of people complain every time he makes a break 75.

[@iJONNYHD]

Never expected to sew a Deeprot comment here lol

[@BlurUK13]

I enjoy Break 75 quite a bit, mostly due to the drone shots and locations I’d never get to play.

[@coreyclark7472]

Rick, the indoor golf simulator/film studio is outstanding.

Can't wait for Rick's Break 200 Series. Thanks

Thanks now i can go on my Top Golf date

[@campingwithben]

I just tuck my right elbow and bicep in and leaved it super glued to my body. Fixes everything

[@die_gooooou]

I did this but I would take it to inside and I had uncontrollable draws/hook. I’ve been working recently to take it straight back but it’s so hard

[@cetrick_yeanay]

Thank you headed to practice right now

[@MrBrixt2]

Thanks for the reminder Rick

[@jonnyorigan]

I feel like a right div. Went on range for first time today. I’m a right hand and I was putting my left hand in the front and right hand at the back. Of course that was going to be counter productive

[@wrcoe]

Excellent as always!

[@ThreeLungPark13]

Great video, just wish there was some inclusion on what to do with the wrists on backswing and downswing. That was the biggest sticking point for me!

[@Olly_Pureblood]

Thanks Rick, what about the stance for different irons and drivers

[@visarma9673]

I’d be interested in what you thoughts were of the STOW STICK golf accessory…. It sure has made a difference in my putting movements…. “Thank You” for your for your well explained video..

[@RedbeardInBluegrass]

YES MAROOCH!

[@OkFine1999]

Rick I've been a fan and subscriber since your daughter Ivy was born and love your journey, content and passion. My son, a golfer with a 4 handicap, and a passion for golfs comes from a long line of golfers. His grandfather was an armature who played Pro Am Tournaments with friends PGA Pro Doug Ford (PGA Championship & Masters Championship) and Jerry Barber (PGA Championship) and his uncle, Tom Sullivan Played on the Nike Tour in the day... I never got the golf bug so, I'm a real hackier but enjoy a day out with my son. My son, Ian just graduated from college with a business degree and just got his first fulltime job with PING America (Arizona) building clubs. He is a Mizuno Iron guy but now that's he's building PING Clubs and testing clubs he is in love with the Blueprint S Irons. He wanted to start at the bottom with PING in manufacturing so he will know the product so he can sell the product and is loving what he is seeing from the manufacturing level. As they (PING) guide his progress, He will move into customer service then PINGS fitting department, learning each department at PING. As Ian says he has to learn everything about PING Products to promote/sell PING Products. When my son Ian was 8 years of age, he first golf instructor was a European Pro sponsored by PING & personal friend of Karsten Solheim (PING Founder) In Phoenix Arizona. At the age of 16, Ian got his first custom fitting for new clubs at PING Phoenix, and now he's working for PING. Talk about full circle. He swears by the new PING Blueprint S Irons and he's scores seem to prove his commitment to them. Big Smile😊

[@jakehmckernan1]

Should definitely feel hips clearing sensation over shoulder turning. Need that separation

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent job Rick on explaining "the swing basics!" Always good to have reminders presented to us! Well Done!

[@DanielM8675309]

I wish there was a video about the principles of a golf swing. In my experience, it seems like these things are more like "positive symptoms" that you see in your golf swing if you follow certain principles. So these forms are not consciously emulated, theyre just the natural result of swinging instinctually with an understanding of the final goal of a golf swing. Those would be solid contact, club face square on impact, etc. And dont forget jim furyk, matt wolff, and scottie schefler whose swings are unorthodox but they get the job done because they ultimately reach the same final result of solid contact with a square clubface. Another principle of a golf swing is to know where your center of balance should be throughout the swing. If you jnderstand that, then you just get the job done however your body can get it done.

[@srirachalover4755]

watching this so i can beat my friends at topgolf 😭

[@MarisaLansing]

Lmaooo

[@jacobdaniels7597]

Rick, great videos mate. The simplicity of your instruction just makes sense to a simpleton like myself. Everybody dogging you about taking your own advice is comical. Hopefully you laugh as well. Most couldn’t shoot under 100 on courses and conditions you play all while doing it on film! It kills me that the haters think you Need to be a major winner to give instruction without ridicule. Thanks so much for the tips!!

[@darrenhadden1037]

Awesome thanks but Im still confused what the arms and wrists are doing in the downswing 🤔

[@mccalljeff]

My wife is learning to play golf, I am going to send her this video. This is GREAT for the beginner golfer!

[@joevladovich2075]

This video is also good for a pre season review for us “veteran” golfers.

[@mccalljeff]

@@joevladovich2075 Yes! Always have to maintain fundamentals. Whenever I get a hitch in my swing, I go back to the basics.

[@kevingowdy3651]

Allways good to remember the basics. Stops me becoming complacent. Thankyou Rick. 👏👏

[@waynematthews8589]

Can you show this for a left handed player

[@BloodToDust]

Are there different styles of swing for the different clubs, like Iron vs Wedge vs Driver?

[@kennethmay1786]

Rick, I am curious what you think of stack and tilt?

[@kingofmagiccity]

I have one question that might honestly help my consistency. Am I swinging down into the ball and the ground or am I swinging up into the ball? Hope that made sense. Help!!!!

[@Yesyas7283]

From what I understand you want to hit the club on the ground slightly ahead of the ball so you're swinging down

[@christiannickerson5777]

Hey Rick! For a brand new golfer, what are the couple of clubs you recommend they should focus on practicing with first at the range?

[@0xZader]

Honestly just pay attention to your yardage with club. Then you start to realize you use the same clubs repeatedly and some clubs not so much. Focus on the main clubs and have fun! My main clubs D ,6 iron, 8 iron, 56°, putter

[@Crowejonathan]

One thing I would add in here; it’s not enough to make sure that the club face is facing the target. Once you swing the club, hold the club out straight in front of you and see where the club is facing and make sure it’s square. I lined up to the ball square but during my swing I was closing my club face and everything went left. Now all I do is open the club face so that it is facing more right, didn’t change a thing about my swing and now at impact the face is square with the target and I am a lot more consistent

[@DJC3PO]

Solid video Rick! Really good advices, as always.

[@robertwallerjr.]

Finally some lessons…it’s why I subscribe

[@txsurf87]

Your videos are excellent! Really great info in all of them. Keep it up 👍

[@rglennon6872]

Best little lesson

[@peterscott1498]

You should set the shaft lean first then take grip. If you want to start at basics

[@abrahamadijaya]

The left leg ankle, is it safe to have an end position like that ?

[@robertcave-debuse920]

Great Rick I have always played with a half swing 15/18 hc and play in club matches. After this I am confident to try a 3/4 swing and starting this at 70 I must be mad thanks again trebor.

[@scratchjourneygolf]

Yep…. Just do all of those things and it’s simple and easy 😬

[@keithcondren3661]

Can you do this same thing for putting?

[@jamiesloan7259]

Most amateurs just imagine the wrong intention, when trying to play golf. They either hit AT the ball, which makes you stall out the body, and basically throw the club head AT the ball. This also makes you too steep. Or… They try to hit the ball UP into the air. This makes you lean back on your trail foot, and never shift pressure to your lead side. It also moves the low point behind the ball, resulting in fats, and thins(catching it with the bottom of the club, as it’s going back up). The cure is…. imagine that you’re trying to hit the ball FORWARD. This is when you’ll start to apply “real” pressure into the back of the ball. The compression feels amazing! Give it a try….. Another good feel is to imagine that you’re trying to sling the club underhanded through a piece of drywall, about 10 feet in front of you. Your weight will naturally shift. You will naturally rotate in the correct sequence. And, you’ll naturally release the club later than you probably are at the moment. These 2 things changed my game forever. Good luck! 🍀

Nice basics video. But it is missing the most important part: how to move the hands, wrists and arms? May I suggest a follow-up video?

[@Ryan-qy3fc]

I have a slice problem, which makes me want to grip the club tight to keep my club face closed….im going to try loosening it up

[@WeightNarc]

Where in the UK is “Sheils froom?” Livapool? 🤔

[@HenryF-q7n]

Nice love the content❤

[@fredlarke3806]

A good video. But now, how about one on timing and tempo; i.e., how to smoothly stitch all those moves together?

[@scatterbrain9490]

👍

[@mikeg5089]

Great advice, but my problem is, I either hit the ground or go right over top... I can't seem to keep it in the right place while swinging

[@carsonagenic6285]

I know he is a righty, but as as left handed player, I wish in his videos he would use different terms, like lead leg, front leg, etc. Just makes comprehension easier for the Southpaw golfer.

[@TylerBingBong]

Hey Rick! Any chance you would be able to go over Arccos or Blast Golf, and their benefits and drawbacks?

[@KristianYeager]

Overlap grip = Harmon grip

[@christopherjansen5135]

You know….sometimes the most fundamental, simplest instructions are those that are easily repeatable. Thank you for reminding me this doesn’t have to be complex.

[@davidaldrich3488]

Very nice

[@Yesman10]

Wish it was this simple …..

[@FreddiePiper]

Hi Rick, Guy, Matt and Team, Love all the channels, listened to all the podcast episodes more that 7 times over and your merchandise is great quality. I have started a golf youtube channel to try and help afford new clubs because the shaft flex doesn't fit me anymore. Haven't posted any content yet. Do you have any advice on getting started on youtube. Keep up the great content

[@stevetaffy8780]

Aha! The slow mo shows I'm twisting my hips way too much before hitting the ball. Slicing like hell when i try and break the ball in half

That set is from the golf upside down.

I use an interlock too, because I grew up watching Jack play. It's the same reason I putt with my glove on 😄

[@pedroc6823]

Rick, Golfsidekick is making fun of you can’t break 80. Would like to see a match up.

[@fohrum4757]

Really? Which video? Lol. I didn't see him making fun, but I don't disagree if he did. Golf Sidekick has wayyyy better course management, and if Rick played smarter like him, guarantee he'd shoot better scores. Rick constantly goes for longer clubs and it gets him in trouble all the time. He never learns 😂 Golf Sidekick is the man. As a 15 handicap, I was able to shoot an 82 one day. Which is unheard of. But that's the power of course management. All thanks to GS! 😊

[@MonsterERB]

@@fohrum4757 They are both great channels, I do agree sometimes Rick has some... questionable... course management decisions. I will say that a lot of GS suggestions are designed for mid- to high-handicappers and are great for folks trying to break 100 for the first time, trying to break 90, trying to break 85, et cetera. Rick is a low handicapper and naturally feels able to "go for it" in situations where a mid- to high-handicapper shouldn't. And, to get in before all the "LOL Rick's like a 10 HCP" comments, I just saw Rick shoot a -3 for 9 holes on Seb's channel, that could have been a -5 if a couple more 8-10 foot birdie putts had dropped. HCP is based off of the best 8 rounds out of your last 20... a 2 HCP will still shoot rounds of 79 or 81, but they have the ABILITY to shoot 70 or 73 as well. Rick's mental approach and course management DO need work, and I'm sure he is aware of that. His videos don't always come out in chronological order, but I have seen more videos lately where he is more positive overall and doesn't destroy himself for the occasional loose shot.

[@pedroc6823]

I will find it

[@pedroc6823]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ-7iINoedaSsK8si=5XSKqEDF72hQgHhm It starts about the 10 minute mark . More like a funny remark for breaking 80 before RS does. But you have to give it to the guy, he is a master motivator, My game has improved so much just with course management. Would love to see Sidekick and Rick have a fun round .

[@fohrum4757]

@@pedroc6823 Lol. Okay that's funny because I'm pretty sure I stopped the video around 8 minutes in last night. If only I kept watching 😂. Update: That was a good chirp at Rick haha

[@PaulRotheram]

A key thing this video ( like many swing videos ) is missing seems to be holding the wrist angle throughout impact. I see many suffering this as its never really picked up but it plays such a huge part for good impact.

[@lancefrasier200]

I started golf during the pandemic. I watched a few videos of yours and GM golf to copy some swings. Ive never had a golf lesson but got to a 8 haddicap. The last yr I had lower spinal fusion and right knee microfracture surgery. I cant hit anything. I’m 40, Ive gone to the range about 5xs and I cannot hit 1 ball like I used to. 3xs I just left the range with tons of balls still to hit. I top 90% of my irons or Driver and the rest is a low huge hook, I actually miss the ball, or a huge beaver tail. Im soo embarassed. Its like thier is no connection between my mind and body/swing anymore. 😮 Im afraid that my golfing days are over as well as being able to enjoy other hobbys/sports Ive loved. I grew up to Tiger and one of the few that loved to just watch and didnt play. I just wish I could play golf again and be pain free. Now Im stuck with Mizuno irons, Sim Max driver , Vokey wedges, Vice Pro Plus balls, and cant hit anything. Seeing you break 75 series is only thing that keeps me from just selling it all and call it a day.

[@Slowrida123]

I'm not sure if anyone has told you this but your game will continue to suffer by making the choice of distance over accuracy. No use hitting your drive 300 yards plus if you cannot keep it in play. Just game the ping driver already.
