    I have been golfing for years. Always struggled with consistency. This video has totally changed everything. For years I have been told/ watched videos of people saying make sure you put your weight to the right side then move it back. I went and tried what you said in this video about weight near enough 50 50 then all to left side. And oh my god. It stops me lunging into it and has improved consistency so much !! Thanks very much

I watched this video before heading to the range and for the first time ever I was able to get consistently straight flight paths. I still need to work on striking it consistently but now I have a stronger desire to play. Thank you Rick for the lesson!

I was giving it another go and after a few botched swings, I watched this video about 4 times then applied what i learned. I saw immediate results. I was hitting a solid straight ball around every 5 to 7 tries. Now i am not only hitting it straight and consistent, i am putting the ball where i want to 95% of the time. Thank you Rick Shiels.

I have played golf for 30+ years, have never taken any lessons and struggle with ball striking and consistency. Your videos made so much sense and helped me really understand what I was doing wrong. Yesterday I went out to the range to try out what I had learned in watching your videos. WOW!! I was striking the ball so so so much better and so much more consistently! And I also watched your video on hitting a driver. Again WOW!! I made some adjustments based on that video and I can truly tell you I have never hit my driver so well!! Thank you so much! You have earned a subscriber and I can't wait to get out on the course and play a round.

We brought 28 balls and only lost 4. 2 of my 28 shots went straight towards the target, around 100+ yards. My son wants to go back everyday now. After your advice, well see if we can run a line drive with much more power. Im confident Ill up my straight shots and get 15 of 28 straight down the line...thank you so much!

    Thank you for this. I'm going to be sixty six in less than two months, retired eleven. months, and sorely need exercise and something to do. I used to work out a lot and had to finally stop after close to thirty five years due to basically wrecking my shoulders by continuing to work out even after advanced arthritis in both of them, resulting to bone on bone friction. I have had shoulder replacements in each of the past two years and only was on a golf course twice in my life, both times over thirty years ago, both times for nine holes, and BOTH times I was beyond horrible. I was basically comic relief for the other guys in the group. I told myself that I'm going to attempt golf next summer, and I really need to watch more videos like this because I have ZERO clue, but I'm going to see if my shoulders can handle it. You did. great job of explaining this. Thanks again sir!

    That was brilliant, I've tried to master my swing for 35 years and reached another dead end this week (my consistency just left me) so decided to see what videos were out there from a very basic view point and here we are👌 My first change is going to be trying to swap to the interlocking grip, I've always been an overlapper. My theory is the best golfers make it look easy and so it must be easy once you do all the basics correctly. The elite golfers have this plus they have extra skills like better touch and course management but we'll worry about that later or you'll do a follow up video.

    Tried what you explained with a practice club so I could feel the swing and figure out what I need to fix for myself, along with pointers and tips from a lot of people I spoke to and it helped a lot. I may have to adjust my own positioning though, as I already have an L5 problem prior to learning and playing golf 😅

    I would say you should be a golf instructor at a club... but that limits who has access to your knowledge. I think RUclips is a perfect platform for you to share all the information that new golfers have NO idea they NEED to know.
    I can't change my swing. Changing one cog in the HUGE machine that is The Golf Swing, it changes like six other variables. I have my swing. No one else swings like me, but then again no one swings like Rickie Fowler! Great tutorial and general information for new golfers. My swing is like 90% of what you are explaining. I do things that no one I golf with does. My coaches have no idea why or how I do it, but my drives are straight every time. I can't explain it, but it FEELS natural to me.
    Great content. I hope you inspire more people to experience the heavenly feeling of being in the tee box. It's a sunny morning. Dew is still on the grass. It's 60ish degrees and warming up. The beautiful sight of how a fairway flows through the elevations and ground like it's planned by God himself.

    ive played golf 1 time in my life. Im 22 years old, pretty athletic, but never played golf other than the 1 time for fun, I was pretty horrible.
    Anyways im staying at a golf resort, just watched this video, and went outside with a 3 iron and 12 balls and a tee. I did everything this man said to do in the video, and no BS I banged about 7 in a row just straight shots, it actually felt amazing. Thank you !

    Smiled when you threw the golf ball. 😂😂 it was the highlight of this video.

    Thanks. I've been trying to improve my game. I've been hitting farther more consistently but can't figure out aiming... hope to implement these and hopefully see improvement.
