    Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This RUclips channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
    I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
    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!
    On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
    If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

      Thanks Rick for the reminder mate. I'm newly back playing after a few years off. I thought I was holding my grips correctly from what I remembered, but your tips flooded back a heap of memories.
      I went straight to the driving range after watching this clip, put it into practice and what do you know I was hitting all my clubs SO!!! much better straight away. Very excited to get out on the course now.
      Thanks again mate, love watching your videos. Keep up the great work.

    @andrewtopping1937 3 года назад +27

    Excellent reminder. Been playing for over 40 years. Whenever I start pushing or pulling the ball, my grip, relative to the club face is always the first thing I check. It's amazing how complacent we become when it comes to the grip. Checking the face by raising the club in front of you (I actually lift the face above eye level) is a great tip. A tip for grip pressure, is to imagine it's a tube of toothpaste. Squeeze to just short of the point where the toothpaste starts to come out. Great simple and concise video on grip!

This simple step by step easy to understand correct way to grip the club has absolutely changed my swing. I’ve went to barely being able to break 100, to some mid 80s rounds. Thanks Rick!

    Thank you Rick. Been watching you since a year ago when I started playing golf. I’ve always liked your channel. Lately I’ve been hitting well making good contact, but every shot is slightly towards the right. I’ve found out that my club face was aiming towards the right. Thanks so much!

    I always revisit lessons from different pros/teachers see if I can find something new to help, I LOVE how detailed this video was on the grip, all videos I had watched previously not 1 mentioned anything of the club face, or the grip alignment, Rick great lesson for the beginners and even the seasoned players who still struggle....Attention to detail is so important in anything you as a human will touch/do. Great video!

    Thank you for all your videos. I recently just started playing golf at the age of 37. I've been watching all your videos to learn the basic mechanics of the golf swing, the difference of the swing from drivers to irons. Your videos have helped me a lot as far as knowledge of the game. At my first outing 2 weeks ago I shot a 95 on a 72 par course and was driving the ball over 200 yards. Your videos are very informative and I want to thank you

    Great, great video, Rick. A good review for those of us experienced golfers and a wonderful teaching tool for beginners. These exact points of the video were taught to me 35+ years ago. Brings to mind the saying: the more things change, the more they stay the same. Or something to that effect. Cheers!

    Just wanted to say I have watched a bunch of your videos over the last few weeks, and they've helped me out dramatically (at the range at least). I got sick almost 13 years ago, and due to surgeries on my elbow, never thought I'd golf again. Having started back up a couple weeks ago, my shots were all hooking and slicing. 2 weeks later, and plenty of your tips and pointers have helped me hit the ball straighter and further already. Got my first tee time of the season tomorrow, and can't wait to see how your advice helps me out. So, thank you Rick. You're great at what you do!

    Just. took a lesson today. Been a golfer for over 45 years but have been struggling with lots of pulls and fat shots - especially with irons. Essentially, this is what my lesson was about. My grip was too strong. After neutralizing the grip I had to learn to turn both my hips AND shoulders on the downswing. Ball started flying straight with a higher trajectory. Obviously will need practice but the game was getting frustrating and hopefully I'm now on the right path.

With the weather spring like here in Michigan and my local track the only game in town I was lucky enough to be able to join right up with some guys and had to head right to the first tee. Did the routine and smashed it. Not just the straightest I've hit it in some time but the most consistent I've hit it. Thanks Rick! This tip was "ooonbulliveable!

    I have a habit of my grip gradually moving weaker and getting out of the fingers and eventually more in the palm of my left hand. Quit playing for a few years...awful divorce...and started playing again a few months ago. Weak ballooning shots to the right. Finally started piecing my swing back together. My legs had become inactive like tree trunks and the grip again. Looked specifically for your videos...you're easy to understand and have a chipper way about you that is good to see in these times. Gone from "I know I'm going to fat this iron or push this drive" every time over the ball to striping it. Took 2 hrs to get comfortable with this grip on the range. My distance and accuracy are coming back along with my confidence. Swing speed is back up with so much less tension in my swing. 114 to 117 driver clubhead speed. Had 170 to 174 in on 3 different holes this past weekend...hit 7 iron for all three and all three were stuck within 15 feet of the pin. Not playing a strong lofted set...I play stock loft spec MP69's. Love Mizuno irons. Game is coming back and I'll be gaming a set of MP20's soon. Thanks for all your help and thank you for being a positive influence.
