ok
I don’t have Facebook so I can’t see them
I won’t thanks rick
Thanks Rick, I really struggle to hit my rescue. Will give those tips a try 👍
Lots of help Rick cheers👍
Hit a perfect hybrid on the green in two from a little over 200 yards. One of my best golf shots. Still 3 putt my eagle opportunity so it all worked out in the end haha.
While 3-putting sucks, I'd rather 3-putt and walk off with a par than a double bogey lol
Sounds like a hell of a par!
Just spat my beer out. Thanks for that, bro.
Love having a long iron in the bag for getting out of trees... I spend a lot of time in trees!!
We together im always hitting a 3 iron
Shoot man I am a tree. I spent more time picking up twigs than fixing divots.
Me too dude, I spend far more time in the trees than on the fairway
I carry my own white ants iam in there that much
Gotta keep that 4 iron strapped😤👌🏼
In my early fifties I went to hybrids on the course, and use the 3/4/5 irons only on weeds in my back yard. My enjoyment on the course kept high, and height of the weeds were kept low in the yard. Good video Rick, thanks.
Brilliant
I'm only 30 and have done that too. I don't have any long irons now.
I was always injuring my shoulder and back by swinging too hard and fast, so now I do the effortless slow swing technique, but for that a different bag is required.
So now I've got
Driver
3wood
4wood
5 hybrid
7-pw in callaway XR OS (Massive heavy heads)
A few wedges
Mallet putter.
@@Jack-xy4fyfor me: its driver, 5 wood, 4-PW (taylormade R11) I'm not a Taylormade fan but I have a pretty decent setup.
@@ryze9153 I'm shocked at how much my bag changed since last year 🤣🤣🤣
I've got a similar bag to you now
@@Jack-xy4fy lol. I've got mostly intermediate clubs as my swing is still getting there. But my progress is clear thank God. I'm actually using the mizuno stx 220 driver currently. and the same goes for the 5 wood. Pretty soon tho, I'll be putting a titleist TSI 3 driver in my bag.
I have a 4,5,6,7 hybrids in my bag with 7,8,9,PW, AW and SW it’s made a huge improvement in my ball striking as a senior golfer.
I wish I could hit either of them😂👍🏼
This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "different swing planes for different clubs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing one off product for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
Lol
As a 4 with decent swing speed, I've always wanted to hit long irons mostly due to them being so pretty. BUT the way I can shape my shot with a hybrid is the main reason I switched!
Rick,
Thanks for continuing to put up fantastic content like this! You should consider doing a more slow motion type video analyzing your swing or others to help correct them and show how each club should impact the ball. I think that would help myself and others really see what they need to be aiming for with their clubs / swing!
Rick, thank you so much man. After 4,000 golf hits with plenty of intermittent breaks in the past 2 years, I was able to fix my consistent slice with your slice video. It was the best one solution for anything I needed. Thank you!
Rick could you please do a review on Vice Pro and Vice Pro Plus golf balls stacked up against Titliest Pro V1 and Pro V1x?
Thanks!
I feel like every review for vice balls I see is paid promotion..
@@Chris-gj7uy Haven't seen may legitimate Vice reviews, but that said, the Vice Pro is my jam. Fantastic ball.
There is a guy who does the comparison and they seem to be very similar.
I really like the Vice golf ball. Great distance, control around the green. It’s not a bright whites and I think it kind of dulls up after use. I also think it’s not as durable as say a Titleist or Bridgestone.
Thank god for this. Heading to the course this evening and I need to mend my relationship with my hybrid. This video might actually help!
Thanks, Rick…have been using hybrid irons for a year now (I’m 68) and there is definitely an art to hitting them. I finally figured out the slight lean and putting the ball forward in my stance for more consistent ball striking. I’m working on slowing my back and downswing…speed is the key to better striking of the ball with hybrids for sure.
This is a great video. I have recently readjusted this part of my bag and now carry 3w, 2i, 3h, 4i. I love both long irons and hybrids in certain situations!
I'm kinda similar with my top end of the bag: 13° 3w, 17° 2i, 21° 4h, and 23.5° 5i then 6-PW plus wedges
I feel like it gives more options to have a long iron or two to go with the fairway woods and hybrids
Great tips...I carry 3i, 3Hy, 5i and one lenght 5Hy(great around greens and chipping out) Which i do OFTEN!!!
I carry Driver, 3w, 3-4 hybrid, 4-pw, gw, sw, lw, putter. I've found that to be the most universal set, I'm never between clubs and I can still choke down on my 3-4 hybrid if I need more control or I need to punch it out of a tricky lie.
Watching 11-month-old Rick Shiels videos and making my game better makes this an easy subscribe!!
Just recently started playing golf and finished my first ever round of 18 today! Because of your knowledge and tips, I was able to play confidently as well as keep pace with my friends! Didn’t do too bad either! Big big fan!
Just to warn you, golf is probably the biggest love/hate relationship anyone can possibly have 😂
I played a round of 18 on Saturday. Awful. Absolutely atrocious lol. But I did a short 9 today and I did really well! Finished 39/36!
@@travisnunez1693 Dang that's really good for just starting
@Josh Whalen appreciate it! Whether I recreate that magic next time is another question 😂
@@travisnunez1693 Why you out here lying saying you shot a 39/36 when you "recently started". Unless "recently" was more than at a MINIMUM 6 months ago (and you would be a prodigy in that case) you did not do this without substantial cheating. No way lol.
Comments like these make normal, honest people who actually recently started feel shitty about their scores. This is unrealistic. If you did it, get a PGA coach and start training cause you're once in a lifetime level good lol
I'm an average golfer at best and your videos are helping so much. Keep up the great work Rick it is much appreciated 👍
This and the "iron swing vs. driver swing" video have given me a lot of insight why I can hit irons well but struggle with a driver/woods--I've been trying to hit them swinging the way I do with irons!
I'm excited to hit the driving range and see if some adjustments help. Cheers.
Me too...every once in a while I hit the driver very well but I struggle so much with it and I almost never take out my woods cause I have no confidence....but I do really well with my irons... going to try this different swing technique
Was waiting for this video. I’ve been very inconsistent with my long irons, sometimes I strike them phenomenally and other times I I just top the ball. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong till now. Thanks a lot Rick
@Your Average Golfer yeah I was doing the same but my buddy who is much better than me (a 2!) told me to act like im squishing a bug just slightly under my lead foot. BOOM instant great shot like 30 yards further lol
Really interesting. My 4 and 3 iron are my safety clubs off the tee and I have never really thought about how I hit them or position myself but I instinctively have it further forward in stance. Never have been good with hybrids!
Im the same cant hit hybrids at all. Dont have a problem with the long irons. Even hav a 2 iron in the bag. Im not great with 3 wood either.
thanks again Rick!! I've tried a couple times and failed with hybrid. Now I'll try again.
Just changed back to a long iron, was struggling with my hybrid. This has been really useful, thanks 👍
I put the 3 iron back in the bag. I couldn't hit the hybrid with any consistency. I have a two plane swing. Check Jack's long iron play (the greatest 2 plane swing ever).
I had to put the 3 iron back into the bag. The hybrid has been banished to the laundry room for its continued betrayals!
Did the same, can get warm with the hybrids.
3 and 4 iron back in the bag works better for me
Great comparison! While I am recuperating from shoulder surgery, I am looking to improve my game once I can swing a club again. Given my challenges of late in slower club head speed. I am considering going to a hybrid to replace my 3 & 4 irons. Very helpful video. Cheers!
I’ve recently played my first two games of golf (still don’t own clubs) and love the sport! Your channel is perfect for my new found hobby
Thanks for the tips. You provide the best videos, because you demonstrate what you are talking about more than just talking. Much appreciated!
Started using my 5 iron off the te and I'm getting 200 yards on it, never can hit the hybrid well enough so this helps a lot, cheers Rick
You don’t get 200 yards . Fact
kmclfc Just because you can’t hit your 5 iron doesn’t mean others can’t. I get 195 with my 5 and I’m by no means a great golfer.
@@davedundee2350 Exactly, thank you
kmclfc lmao if you can’t hit a 5 iron close to 200 you trippin
kmclfc I took up golf 3 weeks ago had a go on a par 3 and a session the range and I hit my 5 iron 150 yards so I’m sure 200 is possible
I always have liked watching your short tutorials, equipment reviews, and challenges with Peter! WIN CLUBS
shout out anyone who is old enough to remember hybrids as being called "rescue" clubs 🤣
I had the original Taylormade rescue 😂😂😂
Got the taylormade rescue!
I started golfing in my 20's with an 89 dollar set and they were actual woods.
here,...here
@@toddrone yep, the Taylor rescue along with the Adams Tight lies.
Your teaching videos are brilliant and you explain things so clearly. I watched the videos on hitting shorter irons and it has transformed my golf. I struggle with my hybrid but this has, again, really helped. Off to the driving range to try it out. Thank you!
Purchased a 4 Hybrid last year and it's my favorite club. Definitely helps me on the fairway since I never had much luck or confidence with a 4 or 3 iron.
This has really helped me as I struggled with my hybrid after being my go to club. Reset my setup and now flying again.
Unbelievable how good and easy to understand these videos are 👏👏👏
You are the reason I got into golf , watched your videos and decided to give it a go , played my first ever front 9 even today , was one over going into the the last then played my first ever birdie on a par 5
Watched this before playing golf today, what a difference!! Taking good second shots on par 5's and actually threatening the greens all thanks to using the hybrid properly 👍😁
huge fan Rick. literally learned golf from watching you and now hit 300 yard drives and amazing chips and puts. Breaking into the 80s now only 3 years in
I have always used hybrids I just feel more confident with them.
Here’s your medal lad 🏅
I’m the complete opposite I have zero confidence with my hybrids xD
Good enough for the PGA pros it is good enough for us. I am moving towards more hybrids. It is kinda nice
Same here, don’t feel comfortable rn with 3 wood. In a slump, but hybrids are always my go to
I always slice my hybrid no idea why. Gotta go with 4 iron.
One month ago I didn’t even know who rick is but now he is all I watch. Keep up the good work
I Just recently replaced my four iron with a four hybrid. I don’t swing the hybrid any differently than I did the iron. Same ball position, same attack angle, same everything. The only difference is the improved consistency of the strike, ball flight, apex, performance on mishits. All good. 👍👍
So I shouldn’t go out and buy a 2 3 4 I should learn to use my hybrid or woods? I’m new to golf
great video. i put 4 hybrid in my bag .also thinking of putting a 5 hybrid in do not have a fast swing speed to hit long irons. my 4 and 5 irons seem to go same distance thank you
Hi rick, have recently just found your channel, my head moves loads in my swing and as a result my body drops. Have you done a video that would help. Any help would be hugely appreciated
There's an at home drill I was given at a lesson to work on the feeling of keeping your head height still. Go lean your head against a wall and rotate your torso/hips back and forth. This will help feel the sensation and then step away and repeat without the wall aid. I do the same thing and didn't realize until it was pointed out at the lesson.
hard to diagnose without seeing your swing, your head moving might be a side-effect more than a cause, it could be you swaying through your swing or shifting your weight wrong and changing your spine angle, it could even be a result of compensation caused by your grip, again really hard to tell without seeing the whole swing in action.
He has a playlist that shows his tutorials for drive and iron swing, might help
Love the videos Rick but are you placing the ball on a tee for this video for ease of demonstration? My trouble is I'm not hitting the ball cleanly from the fairway grass! Great tips but.....
5 wood. So under appreciated. And I love my 3 hybrid, too!
Really helpful as used to play my 3 and 5 irons but always managed to mush it my 5 iron. I haven’t got a big swing speed so this probably why and using a 5 hybrid I am able to majority of the time get it right
Thanks for the great video as always Rick! I personally hit my hybrid as you described, however I have heard a lot of instructors saying that you should hit down with a hybrid, more like a mid iron and even take a bit of divot..any thoughts on that please? Thanks!
This video just fixed my issues. I was trying to hit the hybrid like an iron and setup was a major problem for both clubs. Thank you for posting this!!! Your videos are extremely helpful for me, particularly the driver videos. I should probably check out your putting videos. 😬
You think I can't dig into the ground with a hybrid? Challenge accepted 💪
A salesman convinced me to get a hybrid while I was shopping for a long iron. He said since I’m new to golf and will be in the rough a lot, A hybrid is great at getting out of the rough but also good off the tee. I’m very glad I listened to him bc it’s my favorite club in my bag.
I love hitting a nice 3 or 4 iron off the tee and fairway... 👌🏻
Where do you stand Rick with a driving iron, or is there not much call for them anymore?
Rick carries a 2 iron and its one of his favs, watch some of his vlogs. He inspired me to add a 2 iron and I love mine. They're a great weapon if you have a solid swing 👍
Just got my first set of hybrids, Ricks lessons perfected my swing. Hybrids are accurate great flight and distance. Keep a low iron in the bag, for low tree shots. A must club!
“Literally baharuuuuuuuzed the ground.”
I wanted ot say thanks for the instructional video and taking the time to post them, I really like the way you explain things and go throught the instruction. What also made me even more appreciative was the honesty that you dont hit a fade or hit it often. This made me a subscriber and will use your videos to improve my game.
I love hitting my hybrid, hate hitting long irons 😂 These videos are so good man! Thank you!
There are hundreds of Tutorials online which relate to the enigma of the Golf Swing but very few are as concise, brief and gimmick free as yours.
Hey rick I love the vids, would love to see a video on how not to flip your hands at impact😁👍
Great reminder video. I still play irons all the way through to 3 but still resisting the change to hybrids but you never know........
I'll tell you the difference Rick: I can actually hit my hybrids lol
Great video Rick i recently started using G410 3 an 4 hybrids and will not go back. The forgiveness on bad shots is no comparison for me. I am slightly down on mine similar to your iron swing but thats the beauty of hybrids both swings styles work just fine. I would be interested to see your take on trying to hit a low stinger with them as that is the only weakness i find with mine when its windy.
Just got the 2 and 4 g410 hybrids for 200$ the other day in damn decent condition which I thought was pretty solid so already up in my mind.. but I bought that after trying the 4h and thinking how money it was for my 200-220 shot depending on swing no problem, and thinkin the 2 was a bonus at that price.. but ill tell u what man, that 2H at 17° is an absolute beast👌 and might be my new fav club💯🥃
Whenever I Get a notification I watch
Same with me
Same
I use my hybrids alot for approach shots. I have more success when I try to hit down on the ball more than I would an iron. Keep up the great job Rock
This is great, I just have to substitute pecs for moobs 😉
After many years of not trusting my Hybrid I just started using it this winter - what a wonderful club.
Cleveland HB Launcher in a 4 "iron"
Easiest 4 iron to hit with flight and distance
the HB 3 is a great club too...i must get a 4
This makes perfect sense!! I struggle with my 4-iron but smash my 3-hybrid!! Thanks for the videos!!! Getting golf lessons without taking formal lessons
Honestly I’ll take any help I can get for hitting my hybrid, worst club in my bag
You should consider cutting down your shaft to a 4 iron length. Swing it like an iron, not a fairway wood!
@@philrog4329 has a very good point. I got really good at hybrids by just choking down on them and swinging them like an iron. Once you start hitting better choke back up a bit.
Hybrids should be the length of your 7iron
1) Always enjoy your videos
2) thank you for your honesty (good or bad)
3) hybrids work very well for me
Keep up the good work
How about playing a round for charity (sort of like “The Match” RUclips instructors edition with Clay Ballard and maybe a few others? The subscribers can donate to whichever charity you guys pick.
Another great Video Rick....Had some hybrids but unable to use them at the moment due to a dispute with the manufacturer so using a very old set I was given and only has long irons and no hybrids
Rick reads my mind I just got a long iron and replacing a hybrid
Thanks Rick
Great video. I like the way you instruct the ball position relating to the sturnam and not feet or stance.
Loving all the biomechanics of the different swings. It all makes sense. Just a shame its not translating yet 🤔😂
I’ve been using the tips you have in a video about hybrids and what all they can be used for and it had lowered my score by 5-6
Irons are my favorite clubs so I've never used a hybrid
My 4 hybrid is about 1 1/2 inches longer than my old 4 iron. The longer the club, the farther forward in my stance it will be. Having said that, what you say about sweeping it thru impact certainly helps. I find it's more versatile and easier to work the ball than my long irons as well
Enjoy your videos, Rick. Enjoy your accent just as much... “lun gyruns” :-)
Well stated Rick, I just got a Ping blueprint 2 iron and I definitely hit it well and I agree with the ball positioning as well under your left Peck
Rick: “if you do hit the ground its not going to take a divot”
Me: “Wanna bet?”
Used your tip today from both fairway, tee and light rough. What a difference in my course management
Cheers Rick, keep it coming
Me: sees video
Also Me: immediately clicks on video
Hey rick. Thanks for all the videos you make, they really help me a lot and have made me improve my game heaps.
Great video and content 👍👍I was told to hit down with long irons and Hybrids ,when I’ve had success with these clubs it’s been with the sweeping swing
I JUST got a lesson on my new Ping hybrids yesterday and we talked about the same factors - great content as always Rick!
I'm a 4-iron hitter and my wife uses hybrids, this is a great video for the both of us!
Excellent advise I will practice the swing at the driving range. DF
When we talk about club head speed, is there a number where you want to start looking at switching from long irons to hybrids? I have always struggled with 2/3/4 irons. Switched to hybrids and it makes it much more enjoyable. My speed is around 100, is that enough speed to attempt to learn how to hit the blades again? Thanks for the content!
It should be enough speed. The flip side is your swing angle may be better suited to hybrid though. Early on I struggled with irons but Woods where my savior (pre hybrid market). My old tzoid 3 and 7 woods are about the same size as some hybrids though.
Love the brush off on the bottom of the club every iron or wedge Rick hits. I do the same
Just got a new set of clubs, first time owning hybrids. Was really struggling with them. I'm confident this will help.
I'm a senior player and love my hybrids. I put Cleveland Halo's (19 & 25 degree) in my bag years ago. Just finally replaced them with TaylorMade M6 hybrids this week. Much easier to hit than long irons for me. My 6 iron is the highest iron in my bag.
Love your tips and tricks
Who loves This RUclips channel
👇👇👇
Thank you Rick. Self taught, 9 hcp, long irons mid short I kind of get confused with all. Now I will be able to practice properly and go after some result. Thank you. Misconceptions gone now.
That was a great video. I just bought new G410s. I bought a 3 iron crossover. I think it is very nice. I used to play junior golf when I was younger. But never really played to much with long irons. A 4 was the max as far as long irons go that I would use. I just got the standard shaft on my crossover. Going to talk with my golf pro & have him work with me to see if I need a different shaft. I have dynamic gold 120 shafts on the rest of my irons. They feel great. My 7 iron carry is avg. 185yrds. I've cleared over 192. Craziness isn't it? Love your videos Rick. Keep up the outstanding work my brotha. My name Brad Sundberg. Live in Topeka,KS USA. Thanks a lot. Stay safe bud.👍
Hey Rick, is the hybrid club head facing the ground somewhat like you recommended driver head position during the back swing?
Thank you
Love you vids. Have shaved 10 strokes off my handicap since finding your channel! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge in the efforts to make our game more enjoyable. I will be sure to keep in mind your tips when I am on vacation at the end of the month.
Saw the article about you in Links magazine. Nicely done. I’ve been watching you now for a number of years and always enjoyed the content. Congrats.
Thanks for all these amazing and easy lessons... ive always struggled with my irons and this helped...
Hi! Rick, tks for all the nice video clips & tips.... I really enjoy watching it n learned a lot from it.... Can U please do a demo on chipping about hand @ Center Vs hand forward? What’s are their Pros & Cons? Big thanks in advance....
I haven't used a hybrid as of yet. I've been practicing with my long irons quite a bit recently and now getting more good shots than bad. After watching this I'm tempted to get a hybrid now to see what's better suited for me. Thanks 👍🏻
Another great educational video, who needs golf lessons when Rick can help like this, keep the great content coming good Sir
I just picked up a 5, 7, and 9 wood from powerbilt. I’ll play them for the first time tomorrow. I’m a 15 handicap.
I’m pretty excited.
When you land in the rough. Should you go a club up to account for the rough lie? Example you have 150 yards in the rough do you take your 8 iron to give you more through the rough? Or take a smooth 9 and a full pitching wedge?
Take the nine iron it has best distance with control spin. If it’s uphill take the eight. Downhill the pitching wedge.
I just bought a Cobra Speedzone hybrid 2 and OMG!!! What a club. Easy to hit, long and straight. Completely sold on hybrids now.
