Rick Shiels Golf problem not hitting the ball on the way up, and hitting high. Result is Ofoten a high and/or slice.
I feel like since watching your videos my golf game is improving. Especially my driving. I was bad at slicing and hitting off cue. I'm also a shorter individual using clubs that are about a half inch too long. However, watching how you adjust to each club has helped me greatly. I'm hitting consistent 220+ drives. I've only been playing for about a month so anything I can learn is super helpful. Thank you Rick. Keep up the awesome videos man.
I’ve loved watching Rick’s beard coming up through the years
ja he look bettee
Just for men beard dye is a wonderful thing
This is by far the best video on this topic I have found on the internet. Really well done man.
Hi Rick. I am 65 and played since I was 19. my H/ cap has always been around 17 to 20 so nothing special. but love the game. but it's never too late to learn. I have watched your lessons for well over a year now. and my driver now goes between 220 and 250. and straight. my game is now more consistent and now I have acquired a lab putter. I am enjoying the greens too. my short game has always been fairly good. but thanks to your input I have never enjoyed playing more. so a big TA to you Rick. keep them coming.
Hi Rick! Thank you for all these amazing videos. I just started golfing 3 months ago. I don’t have an actual formal lessons but I always refer to your videos if I wanted to learn and correct my golf swings. Im eager to learn. How I wish I could fly to Europe and be one of your student. That’s my ultimate dream. 😃
Madness. How much more consistent my driver is adding the tilt into my posture. Awesome work Rick keep it up mate really enjoy your videos!
Golf lesson tip: if the pro doesn’t have a British accent don’t bother watching the video.
From an American: Agreed.
@@kekelaSON That's racist you'll have the PC brigade after you !!
Yes. Unless they poot with their pooter,don't watch.
Hit the bull straight!
Sounds Scottish
Excellent video. I am currently trying to correct a strong fade/slice and I'll take what I've got from the video to the range.
So using these tips, I played my best golf game ever today. My drives were more consistent and I gained between 25 and 50 yards.... I drove my longest drive of 325 yards. Thanks Rick for these great videos.
Thank you. You have given a very good explanation on how to hit the driver. Good explanation of open club face and closed club-face.
Rick I have been watching all of your videos since I subscribed. Love the reviews of all the clubs and your swing shot pointers are spot on and easy to follow. Keep em coming. Played today and used my 8 iron as my new bump and run club inside 20-50 yards. Had been using anything from7 iron and PW and 52 degree but couldnt get the distance down. Worked great, just enough loft and run, new favorite from that distance. Didn't putt anymore than 2x today. Now help me on my fairway 3 wood. I tend to slice it 75% of the time. Thanks. Awesome.
Awesome video Rick! This was perfectly timed too because I was hitting my driver today and it felt like I could’ve been doing much better. I’m gonna try these tips out and start hitting some better shots.
I enjoy watching your instructional videos. Even scenes I have been watch you my game has improved. I went from scoring 100 to 115 down to 90 to 98 thank you for all your tips.
Just been given a callaway Rogue raw as a gift. Its getting left in neutral until I've tried all of this. Great video. You're my new online tutor. Thanks.
love the channel and the videos, thanks for all the tips Rick
Keep it up , you're videos have helped me a ton.
Thanks Rick. I will definitely give this a try.
Thanks for the great videos. I am really learning a lot. Keep up the amazing videos. ⛳️
Hi Rick. I've decided to return to the game of golf after a 6 year absence. Kids getting a little older so I feel the time is right. I was always a power hitter with not much of a short game, but I've realized I should be thinking more about technique for distance at my current age, (53) and improving the short game to cut strokes. I've been watching a bunch of your videos and enjoy them all. Just wanted to say thank you for putting them on, I'm hoping a lot of it can translate to the range and then the course. I'll keep you updated!
Thanks Rick, I'm smashing the bump and run thanks to your session on 3 ways to get under 90. Still working on the other tips and recommending you to my mates. Cheers Heather from Aus down under.
I’ve been teeing off with my hybrid, I lose some yards but as long as I’m in the fairway I always have a shot at the green in 2-3 depending on the yardage, my driver slices so bad and usually end up in the trees and wasting shots getting back in middle.
I k ow what you mean I was teeing off with my 5 wood because I was in reality getting just as far as my driver because I didn’t have to drive through trees. But having been watching shiels videos and going over to the Rec grounds and hitting balls using his tips I’m now far more confident with my driver and finding more fairways now.
Rick I am a beginner golfer and I have been watching all your videos over the past year or two and your tips have helped improve my game tremendously. Just wanted to say thanks and keep the helpful videos coming. Also, love club reviews I’m a student that has little to spend on golf clubs so I enjoy watching previous years reviews. And the videos of club improvement over the past 5 and 10 years. Which help me to know what used clubs to get. Thanks Rick keep doing you!!!
This was the correction that I needed for my drives . I have hit the ball straighter and at the least 60 yards farther . I had a wicked slice and now it’s gone . This by far is the best video on RUclips I have found to date that perfectly took away that slice . And I have hit 16 out of 18 fairways since I watched this video . And that is the truth . Thanks Sir Rick
I really enjoy your explanation of golf definitely a knowledgeable instructor.
Nice class for me ... The subject was hit the driver straight and further distance .. Thank you .
Thanks Rick, really good tips, will certainly give them a try.
One of you best videos imo. focusing on the major things, delivered in an easy to understand way. Thumbs up.
I watched this on Thursday and played Friday and used the foot powder idea and really helped me find out how high to set my tee and to move my club back a bit on address. Very helpful!!!
Recently returned to Golf after 3 years Ricks vids are fantastic worked at driving range with a videos i watched and instant improvement this one is something i do have to work on
I have never struggled off the TEE. Yesterday I switched to the Tiger ball. Loved it on long, short, scoring irons. Around the green I have not seen it's equal as far as stopping and checking up. Off the tee I kept topping the ball. Minus 2 TREMENDOUS shots, the rest were garbage. A few times I would take a second drive with a pro v1.... no problems. Was it the ball or the many many beers??? Probably the beers huh? Still a great ball.
This video was very timely for me. Played this morning in NYC (38°at tee time.lol) I am a toe hitter and just can't seem to work it out, shot 3 balls in the right side woods today. I am going to revisit my grip.
always great advice, just bought a used R1 driver this weekend for $89, took it out today and had a miserable experience. The R1 however has many options to tailor to your particular swing. Im going to take it to the driving range this week and fing my settings. I also felt my grip was atrocious as well so im going to check out your video on that as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Seriously, the best set of videos I have seen. Simple but detailed and to the point! Thanks
Your lesson on body weight transfer on fairway irons and hybrids was great. A 65/35 made a real difference in striking the ball first. Many thanks.
As a new golfer i and struggling with my driving. Will definitely be giving this tips a go
Thanks Rick! Watched this last night and played today and it improved my driving immediately. Like the simple advice! Cheers
Simple, short and succinct. Thanks mate.
Great video. Hopefully this will help me stop slicing now
Thanks for the foot spray powder tip. It quickly showed me that most of my driver strikes are on the heel. Working on correcting that.
Was having trouble this weekend on the course. I will watch this a few times and take that to the course.
Great video will definitely use these tips
1k club. Love this video. It really hit home. I am a toe striker and now I have some tools in my bag to help stop it. Thanks again.
Great video, I have pretty much been getting all these things wrong. I'll be at the driving range tomorrow and I look forward to setting the tee higher and the ball position further forward. No wonder I have had a tendency to top the ball and make it curve down like a perfect free kick for a football player. I also need to learn (think it's more a confidence thing) to properly take a full back swing, I tend to shorten it up a bit looking for more accuracy.
Great video. Can’t wait to try this out
Great tips, will have to try them.
Hey rick great vid.. helping me a lot, hit two drives today over 310 yards the others bar 1 bad 1 over 250 yards 👌👌
So glad I found your youtube channel. So much help and advice. Cheers man.
Awesome video Rick. Nice and simple, short, and awesome.
Thanks for the tips mate. Quality video!
im a bit heely with the driver right only been back in the game a few weeks now (2 years off)
im likely about 50% with the driver right now. im trying to smash it and ive got to tone down my grip strength.
im still sub 100 at my local course though so ill take that. hope i can get back into single digits by seasons end.
Thank you for all your help Rick!
Great tips! Going to try them next time on the range. Can't seem to get much height on my driving!!
Thank you very much. Excellent presentation. Easy to follow and understand.
Thanks Rik , i owe you a lot for my golfing skills 👌🤗
Great vid, getting the basics right will improve the strike/flight and is repeatable no matter what your ability.
Great video Rick! Do you have thoughts on weight distribution? I know when I get too far back on my right foot (RH golfer) I tend to either shoot it straight right or hook it. Staying on my left side seems to keep me hitting the ball in the center.
Hey just started playing some vr golf and I absolutely love it but also absolutely terrible at it lol. Well I started looking for any kind of help online and came across your videos and honestly, I think there greatly detailed and highly informative. Hopeing for the months to come,when the wether gets better,I can get out there and start playing for real.
Thanks Rick. I have been struggling getting the ball in the air. Used to be quite long but have become quite average with this low line drive shot i have developed. Going to try this out and hopefully get the F9 working again
My arms are shorter for a 6'1" person by about 1.4 inches (using the Ping fitting chart). I use Ping green dot + one half inch irons pretty well. Does having short arms influence where I place the ball with a basic Driver set up? Would I still have it off my right heel, or should I move it back some or forward some? Assuming a 45" driver. My worst misses are pull hooks s to the left in someone's back yard or deck. Sometimes I get into hitting pop-ups, too. Driving into trouble kills be scoring potential.
I’ve always had a terrible driver swing and inconsistent until I’ve watched ricks videos I just recently stumbled upon hitting almost 300 yards which I’ve never done!! Little did I know having a little torso angle made all the difference gained a lot more distance and consistency in my driver! Thanks!
Great content Rick; really enjoyed this and have now got a plan to improve my strike.
Cheers
Great tips rick it’s always good to work on fundamentals from time to time
Really liked the explanation of why a closed club face is more likely to hit the toe (and reverse). This is not something I had heard explained before but I am pretty sure is relevant to me. Thanks.
Great information Rick. First time I have heard that my strong grip may be leading to some strikes towards the toe. Something for me to work on. Thanks.
I'm really new to golf and love your videos Rick ... I wish I looked up these videos earlier so I can get into golf sooner .
I am gonna try this tomorrow morning. Been having a few problems with the driver of late...
Really like the video, does it help to have the driver and clubs fit for you to help with distance and straighter? Also can do a video on irons wedges using the foot spray to get better distance. Thanks.
As always very informative & extremely detailed.
Made me aware of tilting too much. Good knowledge of strike pattern faults explained. Much appreciated Rick
Hi Rick love the videos.Keep them going.Im a cackhanded golfer and I have a high tendency to slice.Do your videos on fixing your slice apply to cackhanded golfers like myself and if not would you have any other tips on the slicing that might benefit myself.Love the channels
Ray
You have the best detail and graphics than most instructors on RUclips, really enjoy your work. Keep up the great work!
Great video as per, I usually hit off the heel but I always use the pink castle tees so nice to see I get something right
Great video it helped so much! Love your vids!
This was the video that I was looking for, I’m new to golf and I struggle with the little things like tee height and reasoning for my consistent slice. I’ll definitely use your idea of using the foot spray to locate the point of contact
Hey Rick. I'm playing super old hand me down Titleist irons 3 to P from around the 90's. What's the chances of you and your partners hooking me up with a new iron set to improve my golf game? Love your videos. Very helpful!
awesome rick love all your help golf wise you are the man
Thank you for making these videos
Great Rick.i will go to the driving range and try it out
Thanks mate I definitely hit the ball at the heel end. Strong slice
Q1 I hit my Driver more slightly high in the face now but much more towards the middle ,since I cut the shafts down to 44.25 inches and practice at the range with it a hell of a lot more .It's so important to get the right head and shaft combo with the driver as its the most difficult to hit .
Q2 About 6 out of 10 times now .
Great tip about hitting up on the ball ,which is something many people don't do ,also Torque weight , length, and kick points in drivers is far more important than a so called stiff or x on the shaft .Thats just my opinion on what works for me and what I look for .
This video was explained very well in easy to understand terms for us average golfers. Thanks Rick
Rick: Always enjoy your videos. Super job.
Great tips again Rick. This year I'm mostly concentrating on getting back some distance to my driving! I'm close to 54yo now and I guess my average drive when I've practiced is about 220yds... crap I know!
I'm going to go through your tips the next time I'm on the range, but I'm also integrating some swing tips from Steve Pratt. I'll keep you posted of the results.
What do you think Rick of my plans? Be good to get some encouragement. 😁
Rick if you are ever in New York I’d like to get together for lessons after I had an accident and are trying to figure out new grip. I used to drive 280-290 yards. Now I’m driving 230-240.
Thanks Rick, great video
Nice video Rick, thank you very much
Lovely. Let's wait for the spring and start practicing those tips...
Great video rick! I normally strike centre of the club face I just struggle with getting the club head closed on impact
What are your thoughts on grip size, distance one should stand from. The ball when driving, and manipulating the direction the ball goes from the drive. A lot of times I will have a good straight drive, but it goes in the opposite direction that I feel I was aiming for. Thanks man I appreciate it.
Great video, great tips rick!!! But i do have a question how to not open yet not to close the club face?
You're one of a very few people who get to the point, repeat your ideas simply, and have graphics that support your ideas. I'm going to follow another of your videos! Thanks for respecting my time.
Hey Rick, i pulled my driver out of my bag because the left and right dispersion was killing me off the tee. I lose about 15-20 yards by using my 3 wood but i get a much tighter dispersion. I also get an extra wedge in the bag! Im going to get some spray and check strike on the driver to see if i can figure out where i go wrong. Thanks for the tips Mr. Shiels!
Golfing is really truly a game of balance.
I explain it exactly like that to my friends who don’t play golf, just like life it’s a game of balance!
I’m looking to get into golf and work on my swing. What kind of clubs would you recommend to start out with?
I realized on the simulatored yesterday im hitting my driver on the heel it's a little confusing and i most likely hit the middle about 25% of the time
Love your advice Rick makes you want to get out there soon as 👍👍
Top video Rick, I love your grip video too. My ball flight is pretty much always to the left. I have a real bad habit of getting lazy with my set up👎🏻
I am very inconsistent with my driver so will defo be giving your tips ago 👍
Always like watching your videos
You give the best videos of any of the golf you tube presentations
