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.
Hope everyone is good! Loads more videos filmed and on the way!
@Kie W yeah he's great kinda lost my love for golf but watching him makes me try to better my game as much as I can
Great video. I actually surprisingly do this most of time which makes sense my scores have gone down. I just have to learn to do it every time cause as a round gets late I will get fatigued and my mechanics tend go for a stretch of 2 or 3 holes
Thanks rick. Another great video. I always love to see the basics. I would love to see a video where you show how to shape a shot and sort of what you are thinking/feeling when you are hitting a draw vs a fade
Very helpful. I have been picking up a lot of soft turf recently, limiting my distances.
I do I choose correct club lengths?
It's tough standing still when I've gone through a 6 pack before the 1st tee.
wait till after the round
And that's at 8am 😂
6 pack watching coach Rick's videos. At least you made it to the tee box !
Its alot more enjoyable that way though, right? Instead of caring that you hit it in the woods... you just throw another ball down and do it again lol
Nice Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Yanaylee Yanrooklyn Magic (should be on google have a look)? It is a good one off product for unlocking an effective golf swing technique minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my old buddy Taylor finally got great success with it.
Every time I watch one of these videos and he shows absolute "do-not-do's", I realize I do all the bad things.
Just started playing 3 weeks ago, this is very helpful, thank you!
Loving these tutorial vids Rick helps us golfers big time that can't afford regular lessons cheers 🍻
Fairly new to golf at 43 had a few rounds. Not great but determined to improve these videos by Rick are the best on this channel by far
This reminds me of when I discovered this process, I had always been told to take my stance first but I could never get a good shot off. One day I had enough of not being able to hit my driver so I went to the range and just kept trying everything I could think of till I could get good consistent shots and this was what I came up with only for me I found my best shot came from having my lead foot just slightly ahead of the ball instead of being squared up to the ball. Since then 280-300yrd drives almost seem too easy, a far cry from the 100-150yrd drives I had before
So you gained 150yds from ball position 😂😂
Indeed I did, if I could upload a video in the comments to prove it I would
@@jamesmills1500 can you please. I’d like to learn. If you could talk us through it too.
This video was incredibly helpful for me!! I’ve been working a ton on my irons but I always feel like I have no clue what I’m doing setting up to the ball. This feels like exactly what I was missing.
Thanks rick lots of good tips, I’ve seen my self do some of the mistakes you shown, so now I’ll adapt to the correct ways show in this video
You are the best Rick! Started this week and already hitting the ball straight with loft while following your video guides.
These videos actually help improve my game so much. Started golf about 1 year ago shooting 110. Starting watching you Rick now i shoot no where near 100 i'm only 17 too so got a long time to go.
I justed started playing golf and I'm trying my best to be better.
@@trubee2923 just watch all Rick's tutorials honestly it helps so much
@@wardstar9087 lol was already planning to. Anyways good luck on your golfing :)
i’m 17 and started playing seriously about 2 weeks ago and i’m shooting about 85 on a good day but I have those rough 110 days haha
No way your playing at 85 after a few weeks. Most beginners will be lucky to break 100
i keep finding my self coming back again and again for more great vid rick! and keep hooking people like me your doing a great job!
Great review for everyone. When I was first learning the game from a friend, he taught me to pick out a spot about 18-24” in front of the ball on the target line and to place my feet parallel to that line. 30+ years later, that is something that I still do. Also, allowing my arms to hang straight down at address. I do think I’ll use your suggestion about keeping them slightly extended with the driver. Great video, Rick!
Cheers for this, I have been researching "not getting distance with my irons" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (just google it ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my brother in law got cool results with it.
@@pianoargento5289 i googled Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition, and what came up was Smash Factor. Is this what you were talking about? Any tips? Thank you.
It's so weird everytime I do the golf stance cause it makes me feel I'm doing a poo
This video reminded me of the videos of yours I watched 4 years ago when I started🙌 love them, keep it up
Awesome!
Can you please do a video on how to hit our fairway wood or hybrid although i know you don't like hybrids please
I always played them more like an iron but I agree it would be good to see Rick do a video on the hybrids and woods.
@@clientbuilding8737 I agree. I get 1 good shot with my woods or hybrids in about 50 tries. It would be nice to see how to do it correctly..
I wish I could give this 10,000 likes. This is the best golf content. Rick, you're the best man.
Thanks so much
Thanks Rick, I have been working on my stance lately. I think this video will help. Thanks again !!!
Great videos. Just now trying to get into the game at 33. Your videos with a detailed breakdown showing biomechanics, reference points, etc for set up and hitting have been very helpful.
Love the vids mate. 🏴
Scotland
Great tips…It’s always good to watch this to get back to the basics.
Hi Rick, Great vid as always. Would you be able to make a video on how to play on wet ground conditions. The courses I'm playing on at the moment are really muddy and some are nearly waterlogged. Just wanted to know if there are any techniques to use when playing in these conditions. Thanks
Thanks for another exceptional video Rick! I started out playing golf by a friend loaning me a few clubs and going out to the course. I didn’t have much guidance. I was swinging the clubs like a baseball bat. I’ve drastically improved my technique and game by watching your videos. I walk out in the yard and just start practicing what you preach. You Sir are freakin’ awesome!
POV: you’re not going to top golf and you’re actually learning the game
I'm going Topgolf :)
Keep em coming. Your helping at least 1 guy. I Appreciate it. I Went from having a hard time getting a respectable shot off to finding my way up and down the course. Now to try and lower those scores👍
46 people didn’t like a great coaches simple & great advice! Lol
Cheers Rick great video (again)
Simple Video but still needed for better than average golfers as a reminder. Great Video Rick. I have left you some nasty comments in the past because you are known for being toooo chatty. THIS WAS GREAT... You stated a Title, Demonstrated, Stayed on Topic. Man I want to give you a hug. LOL... Thumbs up...
Good vid. Short, simple and to the point. ....As my backs really knackered at 42 and more like a 70 year old's back I'd be interested to see a swing tips vid for people with bad backs and there's prob some actual 70 year old's who might like it too.....Also be curious for you to checkout the Moe Norman (feeling of greatness lol) swing and do a review. It's supposedly a bit easier for someone with a knackered back. Might just be a fun vid watching you try a completely different swing. :-)
Thx for the Video I needed this, But I have a question still and that is For like a 3 iron and a 9 Iron You would still position the ball in the middle of your stance? If u could Reply and make sure I’m doing this correct it would be helpful thanks Rick!!!
No one professional has a uniform stance, ball position or posture.
Because they’ve spent years developing a good stance and they can actually shape shots. if you’re a beginner these are so good guidelines and once you start hitting the ball straight then you can start thinking about shaping your shots.
This video helped me fix my slice with my driver somehow lol, thank you sooo much, that was one of my only problems in my game
Please do a video about what my left leg should be doing during the swing. It keeps lifting up which I think is wrong
Rick, I am a solid self taught high single digit handicap. Every time I "find" my swing, I ALWAYS gravitate back to a "hang and flip" swing. How can I get rid of that horrible habit?
This is really useful information Rick. Thank you so much. ♥️
Been struggling with my stance, thanks for this video.
Does the tips with the driver go for all your woods
Yes it does. Off the tee the woods and driver swings and setup are pretty much the same.
I really like all your posts. But you and so many forget the most important part of a golf swing. TARGET 🎯 with out a target there is no way your body knows how to swing at the correct path. I understand you all better players take this for granted but for beginners it’s not that obvious. Please keep reminding folks to have a clear target and shot before taking your stance. Best /Victor 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
Thank for inform me

Was this at Worsley on Monday? My mate saw you in the car park but as per usual I was running late 🙈
Did pitch driver from the tee onto the green on 17 though! (Andy will be fuming if he reads this!) easy birdie 😂😂😂
I’d love to know how many times I’ve watched this now towards the end of my first year playing.
Excellent upload. The three step stance mechanics that will keep a good player away from bad habits, and a new player establishing the correct habits right from the start! Keep doing what you do, Rick!
Dear Mr Rick Shields Thank you so very much for this video it been a godsend,, down the range tonight has been the best for a number of years ..Though I do run the clubs on my fingers like you show it was the square line that was the clincher ! I've added at least 10 yards to every club tonight which is nuts ! the height was wonder to see .. though the club face looked open address my shots was amazingly pure just go to show that your eyes can deceive you at address ! ( my club face it seems well closed when I hit the ball ) At least now I have a marker now when I grip my clubs .. Thank you once again .. Ady xxxx
Hey rick, been watching your videos for a while now since I first got into golf, this video really helped me the other day with my driving! I’ve always been slicing it right but today I gained a lot more distance and straighter drives thanks to this video, keep up the good work!
The way RS has been playing in his break 75 and other recent videos, makes me think he should watch this video for himself. He's driving has not been consistent or accurate 😐.
Folks everyone is different, as the presenter say's "How I take my position" this isn't you. Your swing will be completely different from everyone. else. So look how your swing bias is, does you swing to the right or do you pull shots, or push and remember your finish when you release the ball. Good luck everyone .
Thanks for the video, helped me figure out why I was squirting the balls to the right, I was lining my club to the right. Your tip about lining up the club first was very helpful.
Finally getting into golf after a few years wanting but couldn't find the time. Went to a range for a first time. I'm in my mid 30s. Asked a few people about grip and they were close but not near the pointers. Showed me the interlock grip. Everything about it felt wrong. I will try the 10 finger grip and use your pointers. The swing and everything is complete opposite of my natural swing, feet, grip as I only played baseball growing up through school. It will take some time
Rick, thanks for this. Even after playing for years this made me reconsider my stance to the ball because of swing path issues as well as balance. I’ve been playing a draw with most clubs and reconfiguring my stance based on this video helped reduce the amount of curvature in my iron shots. I’m getting used to what feels (to me) as a more seated stance (from sticking out my butt as you describe). I’m looking forward to working in this more as it didn’t seem to bother my lower back which usually gives me issues. Thanks!
Distance from the ball is EVERYTHING. Pushing those hips back with the proper distance makes everything so much easier
Im sorry but i have to say this..this tip is like too basic..probably its better to put in “for beginners or for people who just started golf” into your title..not even fit to be categorised as “good fundamental”..so sorry..this video fail miserably..come on ricks..show some quality..this video just shows that u want to post something in your channel rather than educating people..most people arent gonna like my comment for sure..i guess a few more of these kind of videos i’ll be unsubscribe u sooner than i think..cheers
You’re awesome Rick! Thank you for posting content while we’re all at home and bored!
FORE!! Anyone else see that golfer walking right where his ball was heading?
I’ve just been at the range and this is the exact video I needed. I was standing in slightly the wrong position for my driver and it had a huge push or slice but from the Center of the face. I did work it out but only on the last couple of balls. This was an excellent reminder.
The other thing I did was to hit it ether really sweet or top it and I couldn’t see I was doing anything notably different. Other than the outcome.
It’s a funny game. Last game my irons were so good driver shocking! Game before that, Driver was perfect irons were terrible. It’s like I use driver set up for everything on good driver days and iron set up for good iron days. It’s so weird!
I’m learning this for top golf 🏌️♂️ 😂😂
Thanks for this reminder. But remember.... Number of golfers, not amount...
Just confirmed I was standing to close to the ball with the driver. The stretching the arms can help you from pulling out of the shot and hitting through the ball thus straightening out the ball, creating more consistency, and wayyyy more power
Hey Rick. So what should the club head look like on the ground. Should the flat on the bottom be perfectly flat on the ground?
Big thx to Rick
help understand basic things need to know they change your game
Big pleasure watch the this Chanel
Fantastic, informative videos and really clearly explained and demonstrated.
Awesome! I love your videos Rick. I learned so much from you. Thank you.
Thanks so much mate
I suck at golf, but my drive immediately sucked less after watching this
Hey Rick what about each iron do you move the ball back the further you go up in your clubs, I'm 6 6 with a bad back so turning through the ball tends to be a little tough and I tend to turn my hands to quick though the ball and I pull the ball
Great video but to bad I can't practice because all of the golf courses are closed because of the lockdown in Spain :(
Rick. How do you handle hitting driver on a sloped tee box with ball above feet per say.
.....I was also advised to put the left hand on the club first, (for a right handed player). There is a tendency for players to place their dominant hand first and this can lead to opening the shoulders to the target line at address. Do you agree?
I struggle with ball position. Is it truly the higher the loft the closer to your lead foot you should be? Or is it a matter of feel? Ive argued with my friends over this for years. Any advice?
How do you distribute your weight under your feet? Is your weight in the balls of your feet/toes? Do you feel like you are sitting back with weight in your heels? Or is it a neutral weight distribution?
Lots of good stuff in this video.
One thing about aiming .
If your feet are truly parallel to your feet. Your feet would be aimed 2.5 ft left of the target
Not long just restarted playing again. It’s good to know I have got one thing right. It still a lottery if the little white object goes anywhere remotely near where I want it to go but it’s a start! Rick have you done a video of using woods on the fairway?
Hi Rick! I've been following you for a few months now and really appreciate these kinds of videos. I recently just started playing in the driving range and have really faced issues with my shots (and even experienced slumps), until I started watching your videos and applying your tips/points! Really glad to have come across your channel 😊😊
hope you're on the courses by now! rick is awesome to follow
Rick! What about the shoulders? Let them hang down loose with the arms or hold them back??
The problem with all these videos is that each time I look at one I'm learning about 3 new things all the time and when it's time to hit the ball it goes all over the place, there is just too much information out there, it's confusing, I'll try these tips out though , thanx
Shaft position is also vital, particularly with the driver. 🤗🤗
Great tips as ever Rick will bear them in mind when I next go golfing🙂
Would you say the irons and hybrids are the same distance from the ball and the driver and fairways are both more stretched?
great video, how about ball/feet position on slopes i find that i struggle with ball above/ below the feet and when the ball is below/above the leading leg, any chance of a video to help set up when in these situations, thanks tony gray
Makes set up less robotic. More relaxed swing after trying this way
Just subbed to you. I am brand new to golf. Trying to get the best tips to hit properly and aim
Another great video Rick! Stay awesome👍
Simple, direct, easy to understand, something to many tutorials forget! Nicely done Rick 🤙
sorry but I cant stop liking your Videos so informative and great lessons
Played for first time 3 weeks ago. These videos are helpful
Do you put the ball farther back from the centre of our body with lower irons or even more past half ?
Thank you for all of the great videos. Shot my best game today 88 today.
Thank you very much Rick. Watching your video everyday help me improve a lot. Your explanation is very clear and easy to understand.
This is as close to golf as I can get right now. Coronavirus has shut down courses where I live
"my bum is back" Ha! love it!
What irons would you take if you were to play 18 right now?
Bro what’s with that nasty hitch in your takeaway?
Great video. Keep the content coming. You have to get us through the next 5 months of COVID-19. Your the replacement for the MASTERS, PREMIERSHIP AND THE EUROS.
hi rick could you go and play the Machrie on Islay and do a vid of it ive been there its the best try it
Beautiful coaching . Can you coach me in summer please
By Far the BEST video I've seen on how to stand correctly.....AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!i used this set up routine this morning, i broke 90🎉🎉🎉(87) for the first time in ages!!! I’m just returning to the game after a decade + layoff. thank you again for your excellent tutelage and coaching prowess.
How many thumbs up can I give you? Thank you, thank you, thank you,.. just tried this today and OMG! Square the club,.. get grip,.. then stance,.. no more slice or draw. The ball went straight where I was aiming, every shot for the whole course. WOW!
Your videos are helpful to my golf swing
What about your grip in relation to your zipper ? Shoulder tilt ?
Great video keep the great work up that video has helped me thank you 😊
Awesome!
Thanks so much rick you really don’t understand what do you think about the covid 19 and I’m in the GCSEs year what do you think about the GCSEs and what they should do
