Rick, thanks to you my golf game will never be the same. Before I found you I averaged about a 96 per 18 holes and needed to straighten my drivers, improve my long irons, and improve my hybrid shots. I spent countless hours studying everything you said and hundreds of dollars at the range perfecting each and every technique. I am proud to say that because of you I now average a score of 107 on 18 holes.
I can see right through Paul that he was really enjoying every moment of it and that he truly has a passion for golf. Such a humbly friendly giant with a mild heart.
@@iangraves1383 They probably are by size, but he stays within USGA/RA conforming specs. Just maxes out what is legal. If he went proportional, his clubs wouldn't be legal for competition.
You’d think there would be something in the rules that allow for someone at that size the abilty to use stuff that suits them more. Yes its “illegal” but god he needs the length
@@Dragon4eva I was thinking the same thing. Like yes his real club length may be over the max legal limit, but because he is no where near the average height, there would be an exception in the rules for this.
I can’t even tell you how much I love your videos, first off you make them so fun to watch, they aren’t boring like most golf peoples, and they’ve helped my golf game SO much this year! This video was fantastic!
With all the health problems growing that tall can cause, it's amazing how low his handicap is and how comfortable he is swinging that hard. Keep up the good work Paul, you're an absolute beast and you seem to be a great dude on top of that.
I'm 6'7" so it's awesome to see a man a foot taller then me killing out there! I finally decided to get custom fit for new irons this year so I'm looking forward to working harder and improving my skills. Maybe even play as good as you guys someday!
Amazing. Paul is a gentle giant, I can imagine it must be hard to be as good as he is with his height, the strain on his joints etc. So that only makes his achievement even greater. Great fun video Rick.
I watched your video on how to fix your slice and I can’t thank u enough. I’ve had a slice for about a year now and my lowest score I’ve ever shot was a 40. I did what u said about turning your hands more on the grip and it fixed it instantly. I even shot even par today.. thanks again couldn’t do it without u!💜
Just started getting into golf the past couple of weeks. Really enjoyed stumbling across your channel! I find you videos incredibly entertaining and also informative. Thank you!
I know it's fun having a tall friend. When I worked as a paramedic my best friend was Peter Mayhew (The original Chewbacca) he worked as a porter in Mayday Hospital, Croydon. Sadly he died a couple of years ago in Texas. We didn't play golf together but we had fun walking into pubs. Thanks for the entertaining videos. Phil Mitchell.
I imagine it would be fun at first, then after a few years of getting sent 2 drivers, 2 fairways, and 3 sets of irons/ set of wedges by every manufacturer, I imagine it would lose its luster. Thats alot of clubs to have to store
Reckon this might be your best video yet Rick! My Dad's 5ft 6" and every time I point out I've just put it 50 yards past him out on the course he brings up Ian Woosnam and how far he used to bomb it... He's always saying that 'It's not because you're taller it's all about the modern clubs'... This puts that idea to bed I reckon! (besides anything else I've watch a video of Woosnam's swing, looks as if the ball's personally insulted him in some way, not surprised he hit it so far!)
Jeez. When I first put this on I figured Rick was maybe 5'8"-5'9". Paul seems like such a cool guy. Thanks for the video. Very fun to watch. 👍 PGA 2k21 in 3 days! 😁
Rick's enthusiasm is contagious. He turns on the ball explosively through impact. For that great height, Paul's coordination and balance are impressive.
Huge *giveaway* when we get to 1,000,000 subscribers! What would you wanna win?
A set of Mizuno Irons?

Hahaha I feel ya brother
Wait 107 is worse than 96 is this a joke?
@@ethanhyun2579 r/whoosh
@@Tone2K what does that mean
What a lovely personality Rick has, such a great presence and natural ability in front of the camera.
Some may say he has the heart of a giant
Yeah, I don't even play golf but I enjoy watching and learning from Rick. He definitely has a great personality and puts out some informative videos.
Big facts yo
Being tall myself, his jokes about being tall are quite annoying and unoriginal, you really get sick of it. Other than that nice guy.
Get a room
Being a taller guy myself 6'4", it amazes me how coordinated and how nice his swing path looks. Being a 5 handicap at almost 8ft is incredible
I'm 6'6 and my jealousy of his swing path is off the charts Lol
@@saintlex32 psh, I'm jealous I'm not 6'6"!! But yes, defintely!
Stop it 😂 jealous.... I'm only 5'6 🤣🤣🤣
@@liammckeown9167 we are who we are, genetics is just a lottery. just be a good person
@@lebrondajames1019 Good person? Yes. Good at Golf? ❌ 😂
I don’t know if it’s just me but Rick really seems to be ramping up the quality and effort of his videos. Keep it up Rick
He's trying to get to that 1m subscriber benchmark. Awesome achievement and an injection of cash too I think.
I was a greenkeeper at the club paul used to play at Park Hill golf club played with him a couple of times nicest lad u could ever meet
I miss park hill
I can see right through Paul that he was really enjoying every moment of it and that he truly has a passion for golf. Such a humbly friendly giant with a mild heart.
His clubs look so long when Rick holds them but when Paul picks them up they look like small kids clubs!
Yep!!
Makes the driver look like a hybrid
Paul's clubs look too short for him!
@@RickShielsPGA I totally agree on both of you!!!!! Imagine Paul hitting a driver 400 yards! LOL
@@iangraves1383 They probably are by size, but he stays within USGA/RA conforming specs. Just maxes out what is legal. If he went proportional, his clubs wouldn't be legal for competition.
Imagine how far he could smash it with some non conforming lengths so he could actually use his body mechanics. Awesome vid 👌
Seriously! Someone get him some clubs that are scaled to his proper proportions. My back hurts watching him try to swing those "legal" clubs.
I was wondering about that. His clubs are basically as long as possible while still being “legal”?
@@HowToHydroponics yepp. Max conforming.

Rick’s the man for slightly changing rules with the driver to make it more even. What a guy!!
Rick we all know you're 5' 11"
TheAmazingOutlaw ... And a half 😉😉🤣🤣
And three quarters
5'10.5
It's the weighty beard weighing him down.
Pretty sure he's 5'13
I'm 6'7" so it's awesome to see a man a foot taller then me killing out there! I finally decided to get custom fit for new irons this year so I'm looking forward to working harder and improving my skills. Maybe even play as good as you guys someday!
Did you have standard size clubs before?
Rick you seriously cant leave us hanging without Paul nailing one out of the middle of that driver! 345 yards damm Rick thats awesome!
It didn't look wind aided either.
@Tuukka Silventoinen which is great I wasn't saying it appeared wind aided quite the opposite. Thanks for the explanation.
I just want to know the spin rates he was generating
He can't hit it 345 yards mate, only on that dodgy device of his
I went to college with Paul. Such a nice lad! I always remember him just crushing a cooking apple in one hand like it was nothing. Beast 💪🏼
The golf ball must look tiny from way up there.
It would be like Rick trying to hit a pea
And Paul has a really conservative back swing, imagine what he could do with a full back swing?
Amazing. Paul is a gentle giant, I can imagine it must be hard to be as good as he is with his height, the strain on his joints etc. So that only makes his achievement even greater. Great fun video Rick.
Thank you for introducing us to Paul and proving that people who are different can be just as good at golf.
Dudes voice is deeper than the mariana trench 🤭
Paul is the only guy who underestimates how far he hits each club when he’s asked
And strangely, his clubs look too small.
Love the videos
Keep up the good work.
⛳️🏌🏻♂️
Thanks!

Surprised there’s no “golf clash” ads on his videos 😂😂😂
that is another reason why you are the best golf channel on youtube great one Rick
Paul is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I have a great picture of him with my wife. Who was the shortest person at the YTGolf Day
Looks like he should have even stiffer shafts, the way they bend during his swing.
So that's how me and my Dad looked playing golf when I was a kid 🤣
T H E A B S O L U T E S I Z E O F T H I S L A D
when he said "if i give it absolute beans" i died laughing
Damn Rick, 345 !!! Impressive !!!! I’ll take that any day
Just started getting into golf the past couple of weeks. Really enjoyed stumbling across your channel! I find you videos incredibly entertaining and also informative. Thank you!
13:15 Looks around like there is a hornet flying overhead.
"Where'd that go?"
HAHAHAHA
Like he just caught a right hander and lost his feet
Best moment in the vid. I love Paul he’s the man!
Such fun to see these guys smashing the driver. Love it. Well done Rick n Paul! 💪👏
Love it Rick “ you’ve improved and your off 5 now” cos off 7 was crap 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just love it, the Podcast with Paul is 👌
Wow Guys... that was fun to watch😀
What I find amazing is how it looks like he is barely doing anything, just the most relaxed little swing with a very slow tempo. love it!
Right, it doesn't look like he's swinging fast. With some more practice I bet he could top 140mph clubhead speed.
Congrats Paul💪🏽 big improvement
If you measured him in yards he would probably still be longer than my drives😂
Paul is 2.54 yards tall
@@gunnargetz5980 and 2.5in at the balls
Don’t worry no one can hit it 400 yards 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just use a putter then

You and Pete should play against meandmygolf again! :)
Brilliant video Rick. Love those kind of challenges.
You need to do a nearest the pin with him to give yourself a chance... 😅💪🏻👌🏻
To be fair Rick more than held his own given the inches he's giving away in club length.
Both hitting bombs to be fair! Enjoyed that one, thanks both
“Hi Mr. Larson, how’s that thing feeling? “Terrific! The nail comes out next week.”
And I'll be seeing YOU in the parking lot!
Happy Gilmore is the best “golf” movie ever!
Gotta love Rick's passion for the game! Fun video
Who else wishes they got sent as many expensive golf clubs as Rick?
@Big Boofman he's been watching too much Dora the Explora
Don't wish, make it happen :-)
I imagine it would be fun at first, then after a few years of getting sent 2 drivers, 2 fairways, and 3 sets of irons/ set of wedges by every manufacturer, I imagine it would lose its luster. Thats alot of clubs to have to store
Nah... more interested in the access he has to custom club fittings for free or reduced cost.
This was great, impressed by the both of you
11:03 Rick still using the f9 instead of speed zone? A subscriber and love the content keep it up Rick
Probably didn’t want to give it away as he’s launching a video on it.
Thanks mate! Yes I just wanted distance and wasn’t so bothered about accuracy / forgiveness
The speedzone comes in the same color schemes as the F9 did. Black & Yellow or black & white.
Rick Shiels Golf what shaft do you have in that f9?
Both super impressive. Rick you win the award for most entertaining vids .You always find a way.
Great job Paul! He still looked like he wasnt getting full extension- I feel like if he did the club head might snap off. Very impressive display
It's amazing how Paul's swing looks nice and gentle, like a practice swing, yet he absolutely smashes the ball!
"lockdown's been a killer for me" Ironic
Yes and the common cold has killed a few people yet again this year.
best part of your vidoes rick are the fact that you keep the bad swings in. no editing, real stuff
clubs
Kyle Berkshire: "Am I a joke to you?"
notformebeaky these “I don’t like your rubbish idioms, be original” comments are rubbish idioms. Think of something else
I enjoy this film very much, Rick. It is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
“Do you think you could hit 200yds with an 8 iron?”
*kyle berkshire entered the chat*
304 yards
please more videos with Paul! he's a legend!
I'd love to see if Paul use the Hammer X :D - probably 500 yards
That was a lot of fun. Thanks!
Pauls clubs look too short for him ... he's bent over
Hardest part of the game for Paul is the reaching down into the cup a retrieving his ball. 😁
hey rick i was on the live on instagram
Well done you
Met paul st the RUclips golf day, what a gentleman he is, had time for photos and a chat with my son. Top man.
Im 6ft5 I always thought I was tall 🤣🤣
I love your channel not just instruction but fun stuff too.
His clubs look too small for him even though they’re 5 inches longer than normal length😂
The only club that properly fits him is the putter. The rest of the clubs are built to their legal limit in length.
Jesse Greenlee there's no legal limit for shorter clubs, it'll still be 48"
a shame he cant get a real custom fitted set of clubs looks like it hurts him
Reckon this might be your best video yet Rick! My Dad's 5ft 6" and every time I point out I've just put it 50 yards past him out on the course he brings up Ian Woosnam and how far he used to bomb it...

(besides anything else I've watch a video of Woosnam's swing, looks as if the ball's personally insulted him in some way, not surprised he hit it so far!)
He needs to lengthen his arc, then he'll hit it 400 plus yards.
It’s hard for someone that tall because their bodies can’t physically bend or do certain motions
@@HollowR6S Are you kidding? What is he then, unhuman?
Great fun, thanks for the content Rick!
A good golf set
Awesome!!!! Paul can hit it long... enjoyed the competition...didn’t know you could hit it that long too...
Brilliant Rick and good to see the world's tallest golfer 👍
Thanks lads that was brill 😁
I always enjoy your youtube videos Rick very good and very honest
Quality watch lads
Amazing video as always!!
Two top lads, love it Rick👊🏼
This guy is like golf's version of Andre the Giant. Love Paul, get him on more. Paul's face at 3:12 is one of the funniest things I've seen in weeks.
Rick, you just continues to impress me with your high quality videos. You so deserve the soon 1 mil! And beyond!
Paul seems like the coolest guy! Would be a blast to play a round of golf with
I enjoyed this video. Both of you seem like a ball to hang out with. You have such a great swing!
Great video with both Paul and yourself. You both hit some amazing shots and distances. take care.
The sportsmanship in getting beat is awesome 🤣. I probably wouldn't have been as good a sport!
fantastic need more footage of Paul Sturgess please
Great content. Cheers Paul and Rick
Well done Tiny. Great video Rick
Great video, Rick!
Love this kind of stuff
Great video Rick !
Fantastic Paul. Finally Rick has been put in his true place. Beaten by an amateur golfer! Tut tut Rick.
Jeez. When I first put this on I figured Rick was maybe 5'8"-5'9". Paul seems like such a cool guy. Thanks for the video. Very fun to watch. 👍 PGA 2k21 in 3 days! 😁

This was great!
Great video Rick!!! Hope you make a 3 wood rewiew
it was so a great video 💚
Great video as always.
Absolutely the best video!!! I wish I could hit my driver half that distance! Best wishes to both you and Paul!!!!
Awesome video man always wanted to watch a good very tall player hit the ball
