I once did a few balls at my local range ( first time ) and the guy came out and said Oi no professionals m8.....and watch out because there was an incoming flight from Majorca about to land, so they had to divert all flights for the afternoon because I wouldn't calm down. Best golfer they'd seen in 40 years apparently.
Appreciate Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you heard about - Yanaylee Yanrooklyn Magic (Have a quick look on google can't remember the place now)? It is an awesome one off product for unlocking an effective golf swing technique without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my old buddy Taylor at last got excellent results with it.
Cheers for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Yanaylee Yanrooklyn Magic (should be on google have a look)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for unlocking an effective golf swing technique minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got great success with it.

Thanks for the tips Rick. When I'm at the range I take half an hour to play an imaginary 18 hole round of a course I know well. That way, I'm mixing up the clubs and distances as you would in a proper round of golf. You only get one shot at each shot on the course so hitting 3 poor drivers then killing the 4th one counts for nothing in reality. I find recreating that on the range really useful as I used to struggle terribly with my 2nd shot on par 4 and 5's after switching from a wood to an iron. I'd inevitably hit a bad 2nd shot then my 3rd was decent. This practice has helped a lot.
Great advice, especially about alignment. Perhaps we should make a distinction between range sessions devoted to swing mechanics and sessions that are devoted to playing the game on the course? Years ago, when I was taking lessons, the pro made 2 observations that have stuck with me: The first was simply that if you wanted to learn to play the piano and you only played once a week for only 6 months out of the year and never practiced, how good would you expect to be? In other words, manage my expectations. The second was that at the range, I needed to make 3 perfect practice swings for every ball I hit. Perfect was defined as correctly executing whatever we were working on at the time. Ball flight was less important than correct execution and the multiple practice swings were to break bad habits and develop a new “normal” feel. Every ball to be hit required a full preshot routine, again to build good habits and it should take ~45 minutes to hit about 30 balls, switching clubs between shots. After that many swings, fatigue is an issue and the remainder of the bucket was for short game practice, the little pitches and chips that we all neglect to practice. Nowadays, I mix up my practice sessions, working on mechanics one session, course play another time. If I am prepping to play a round the next day, I spend some time just trying to establish a good swing rhythm and the actually play a mock round, including recovery shots following poor strikes, of which I still make too many!
Nice Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one off guide for revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my good mate called Gray got astronomical success with it.
I've been going to the range without a routine, going to be trying this now. Thank you. Can you do something on reading greens and putting? This has been the most perplexing part of the game for me personally. I'm finally at a point where I think I can hit the distance I want but aiming is a guessing game.
Great advice. My favourite clubs are my wedges. I made the mistake of using all my time hitting from lob wedge including a gap wedge through to 9 iron 3 times per week for about 3 month. Gradually I lost the correct swing plane for my long irons and driver. Causing hooks and low ball flight. So as the man says share the practice out or you could do more damage.
Yes....I never go to the Range without Impact Tape....The feedback it provides is priceless when it comes to the proper set-up.... Honestly, this is probably one of your most informative videos to date....Well done, sir.
Shot my first full 18 alone I usually scramble, shot 121 🤣🤣 gonna start being consistent and practice. Played for about 6-8 mths and got decent then quit for an 2 yrs and now I’m playing again and trying to take it more serious
great vid, thanks guys. I often struggle with how to focus my time at the range and to make the best of the time, rather than just going and randomly hitting balls. Have you got a similar vid on how to structure your putting practice sesh? cheers
Good advice Rick, I'm guilty of going to the range and just raking away ball after ball...I'd get frustrated with a bad shot, then immediately rake a ball, and hit again, no target no mechanics, I'd just about spend hours and hours and pallets and pallets of balls and for what? It's honestly hard to have the discipline to not do this...I'm going to work on this...mechanics for a bit, then turn it off, and hit to targets with particular shot shapes that I want and no swing thoughts other than aim (simulate a real golf course experience)...the trick I need to master is after an allotted time, walk away...that's where I get stuck
Aiming is what kills me with a driver, to me it looks like I’m lined up correctly, but I always hook it right and my buddy says that’s the way I was aiming. Going to be trying these tips out soon.
Great practice strategy Rick. As I can’t get to a range due to lockdown will these tips translate easily into a garden practice net scenario or would you advise doing some things differently? Cheers
Another tip if you like. I start teaching Joseph golf..... from were it matters. We start at THE HOLE. Gradually moving further over long period of time to tee box. I wont buy them driver until they can hit 2Iron acuratly as 7Iron.
Any good places to find driving ranges near me? The ones immediately in our area do not really fulfill the needs that we have in order to implement all of these youtube tips!
Hi. In my experience I find it bit senseless hitting 100 balls with per say a 5 Iron if chances of using same club in a row on course is zero. Driving ranges are as dangerous as they are a good. Faults get grooved just as effectively as proper skills. In not against repitition to train brain. But Im going to go completely unorthodox and against traditional practice methods with my two boys. Here is one tip. I will have them hit different club every shot on range.
I usually do two shots then switch...one with mechanic thoughts and one with just trying to shape shot of my choice to a target, then go to new club...work up to driver and done...28 balls, saves me time too
I'll sometimes only bring a sand wedge, an 9 iron, a 7 iron, a hybrid (dont have long irons), and my driver...hit low and high fades, draws, and straight with each to target, then done...get a feel for each style of club, (wedge,short, mid, long irons, and driver)...6 balls each club, 30 balls total...real quick preround warmup

Have fun in somewhere warm. Your UK followers are pretty jealous. 'Best putter on RUclips' ... I think my vote for the best putting vlogger is still for Matt (Prior)
This is afiliated with a lot of stuff you don't even need. At least the title isn't titled, tips on how to improve your swing, or tips at a driving range, so it does mention that it''s going to show you stuff. It does say tips but in this case, tips could have more than one meaning. meaning tips for having the best setup. Instead of tips for improving your swingggg.
Sorry, how can you suggest that ball position is x for y club? That is ridiculous, dynamic loft? practicing different shaped shots? ball position is going to move. Just another example of 1 dimensional golf coaching.
Yo I’m drunk af right now, but this whole vid checks out

Happy Gilmore is that you?
@@dylankrejci9965 The fact that I watched that film just yesterday and I see you mentioning him 😂🤣
I wish I was as cool as you
😂
😂😂😂😂
As someone new to the sport, this video is packed with great tips for the range. I can't wait to take my mate with me and get stuck into it!

All these bots😂😂😂 how to kill any professionalism your brand has right here

What is your handicap?

The reverse happens to me, I’ll hit a terrible drive, like less than 100 yards then I’ll hit a 4 iron perfect 160 yards down the middle.

Ok so I’ve only been playing for like 3 months but it’s funny how much my distances have changed
Some cracking tips. Always struggle to focus on certain things when at the range so I'll give these a go. Keep up the good work Rick!

Dammit Rick you make me feel like I can become a good golfer :) haha thank you for the tips!
Wow that Foot powder spray might be one of the best tips I've gotten off of RUclips! Works like a charm
This is brilliant! I love Rick Shiels
Now I know one of the basic.
Thank you Mr.Rick
Excellent, gives purpose to a range session
New to your channel. Great teaching. Too many times I hit balls too fast at the range.
Started going live on instagram in my practice sessions last week. 😊 ⛳
great vid, thanks guys. I often struggle with how to focus my time at the range and to make the best of the time, rather than just going and randomly hitting balls.
Have you got a similar vid on how to structure your putting practice sesh? cheers

Great tips Rick. Hopefully I’ll be having Feb off work. Some serious practise to be had on the range and course
Fantastic, Rick. Thanks for this excellent routine. Off to the range...
Great vid, but I’d break it into 4 lots of 15 so I’m doing some putting, sand work and chipping. Fairway for show, greenside for dough. 😎
Matt Webber Drive for show, putt for dough
Great session, these routines and tips are really going to help me. Can you recommend a selfie stick brand that is light and robust?
davidfirst317 ye what stick Rick ? ☺
Aiming is what kills me with a driver, to me it looks like I’m lined up correctly, but I always hook it right and my buddy says that’s the way I was aiming. Going to be trying these tips out soon.
Great advise Rick. I have been needing to practice with a purpose. Now I have a good place to start
where do I get the windows?
Best coach ever!
This is brilliant! Thanks mate
lol I had kind of a tough time following around 8:00. Like, aim everything right and if you aim right far enough it goes left? lol
Rick, what’s it like to flush your driver? I’ve only ever done it once lol
Some great tips. Thanks. No way that I'm going live though.
Going live certainly isn't for everyone! We also like to practice pressure by taking on a mate or trying to beat a PB for a certain range game.
This is some great advice. It’s going to make range sessions so much more fun!
What are y’all’s thoughts on grass vs the matt at the range
Thanks for the video! Very helpful!
Awesome Rick, just what i am looking for. Great job, keep it coming.
lol when he kept talking about windows i just imagined someone aiming at a house and an angry man shouting from the top floor
Angry man shouldn’t be standing there
Lol
No surprise from Rick, but this is another excellent video from him!
Hi Rick, this is just what I needed👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 solid
Ricky top man some great tips good structure to it thank you.
RICK IS THE BOMB!!!!!!!
great video well done Rick keep them coming
Brilliant video now I know what to practice 👍🏻
Great video Rick.
I'm trying to get better
Excellent tips Rick, thanks.
Great practice strategy Rick. As I can’t get to a range due to lockdown will these tips translate easily into a garden practice net scenario or would you advise doing some things differently? Cheers
Were you at the dr next to the trafford centre yesterday?
Good for course management and fitness
And if you can only practise for 15 mins .
Split it into 3 5 minute sections !
Chris Anderson I just go in the cafe
Great video. Very important to practice properly. I always find it difficult to aim at the range because of the way the matt and bays point.
Happy days great tips pal..have a guess what I'm going to be doing on Saturday 👍🏌️♂️
Nice simple effective
Great tips Rick, cheers.
Another tip if you like. I start teaching Joseph golf..... from were it matters. We start at THE HOLE. Gradually moving further over long period of time to tee box. I wont buy them driver until they can hit 2Iron acuratly as 7Iron.
Awesome video! Thanks!
Appreciate this but the left and right etc references requires a bit more thought as a left handed golfer hah. Thanks Rick
Thanks great vid man ‼️ but wich selfie stick are you using?
Any good places to find driving ranges near me? The ones immediately in our area do not really fulfill the needs that we have in order to implement all of these youtube tips!
Love it!
What was the selfie stick you used in this video?
This was awesome!
Hey Rick! What app do you use when recording your swing with the phone and selfie stick? Thanks in advance
cheers rick 👍
What brand of spray did you use Rick?
Never golfed before and got signed up for a gold tournament any advice
Just try to have fun, it’s going to be frustrating the first time you play so enjoy the company you’re around.
New clothes fit very well Rick. Colour looks fab.
who else sat at there chair writing down all of this quickly? I did 🤚

Anyone give me a link to the exact tripod rick is using? Can’t find one that can do portrait videos whilst in tripod mode
TobyxWarden second that. Been looking for such a tripod
Siddharth Ganesh seen a few on amazon for £20 but I don’t know if they can do portrait mode or not and that’s vital in golf video

Great vid, but if we were able to master the "9 shots", we wouldn't need any tips from you or any club pro ;-)
that is the smallest length and width driving range I've ever seen LOL
