    I am 75 years old and after back surgery i thought I would give up golf. I watched some of Rich's video's on grip, swing, ball position and played some great golf for me yesterday. I am a 20 handicap and shot a 91. Thanks you Rick for getting me back in the game. His instruction video's are for real just follow his advice.

    I want to thank the both of you. I tried this grip today and it all suddenly made sense. I was able to keep my hands quiet and it improved my ball contact and flight tremendously.
    It was a good reminder that a decent swing can be improved with just a little tweak.

    I gave a lesson to a guy a week ago that went almost exactly like this. That moment when the golfer learns their troubles are caused by such a seemingly simple adjustment and that light bulb goes off is just the best thing! Honestly may have enjoyed this video as much or more than any video featuring Rick Shiels in quite some time and I say that after just having watched the latest drop with GoodGood.

    @scottross6006 2 года назад

    Erik, Rick - I've been struggling with random "shanks" lately and weak shots to the right (but not all the time......so frustrating!!!!) tried fixing it with "bowing my left wrist" - but that hasn't been repeatable for me. This quick lesson to strengthen the grip is so simple, but I forgot about it and didn't realize how weak my grip had become. Instantly fixed my weak shots off to the right and was hitting again with solid contact. thank you guys! awesome video!

  • @clayhobbs3335
    @clayhobbs3335 2 года назад

    Cant emphasize enough how great of a golf lesson that was. Such a classic, simple and effective way of tuning up the golf swing. Strong grip, good little shaft lean at address and let it fly. There’s a lot of nonsense on RUclips of how to over complicate the golf swing, this video right here is why Rick Shiels has millions of views/subscribers, guy knows his shit

    I was having same issues with my strikes. I went to the range and checked my grip (it was very weak)…. Added about 10% distance to each of my clubs and now, as long as I shift my body towards target during swing, I hit nice little draws down the middle. If I leave the lower body behind I block it 10-15 Degrees short right.

    Golf is hard and a game of fine margins. But it only takes something simple like this to get you feeling like... 'Oh, I can actually play and hit it well too'. A great confidence boost that you can bounce off and hopefully put those lower scores in. Great video gents!
