Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This RU-vid 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.

@@stephenliik5704 use the obstacles to create the straighter path. Had same issue today. Went to range after a round. I've gone strong on my left then a more weaker grip on my right. Worked for me, not sure if its mechanics or just mental. Also try to hit more at the toe.

Love your videos Rick! I struggled with my driver for quite some time. Recently I’ve had the time to play multiple times per week. Your videos have helped my game so much including hitting my driver. I can’t thank you enough!

@simongrimme417 3 года назад

Rick, I play off 14 and have been struggling to find a draw until recently. I watched your older 3 series stop your slice videos and did as suggested. First I paid attention to my grip, then the face angle, then my swing path. I just got in from playing some of the straightest golf shots over 36 holes ever, shooting 10 over par and then 8 over par. I also put one of my drives at the back of a 382m par 4 green for one and sunk the 2.5m putt for my third ever eagle. So, thank you so much, please keep up the great videos. You are an inspiration. Simon (New Zealand)

@mconnorhayworth6136 3 года назад

I got my first true birdie yesterday because I utilized the tips and tricks you’ve shown me on here. I now hit the ball much further and arrow straight. My confidence is super high because of these videos. Thanks for everything!!

@tloutn1 3 года назад

I wanted to tell you that your previous driver videos (we just got back from a mid-week golf holiday and I'm just now seeing this one) helped me do two things. 1) Manage to keep the ball in a playable position off the tee and 2) have more confidence standing on the tee. As a result, my last two of five rounds ended in a four over 76 and a six over 78. The first times I've ever broken 80. It feels good to do that, finally, after playing off and on for 30 years. Thank you.

@SlainteMhath 3 года назад

After all but abandoning my driver for years (just lugging it around, seldom hitting it), I've recently watched all of your videos on this topic, and I think I've made a breakthrough. Your setup videos are particularly helpful - so many other videos have failed to explain it so simply. The club head first approach, how to take those steps with your feet to establish your base vs. ball position. That was task #1. But then being conscious of trying to cross over your forearms ... that was what really clicked! I teed off on hole #1 a couple of days ago and hit a 300yd bomb right down the middle. I said, "That was amazing - what did I do??" LOL. Just have to keep at it! Thank you for the RU-vid channel, Rick. Best Golf instruction channel on RU-vid, by far.

@unclederrick9666 3 года назад

Just watched a video on ball design, Callaway graphene. Anyways, I thought besides cutting the ball you could do a pressure test. Put the ball, cut or not or both, and take it to a width of about 35mm. That's shaving off 7mm from the diameter and test the resistance. That will show you how hard or soft a ball really is. And what you should expect before hitting it. Of course the outer layer is important. Softer covers grip the club better for more spin and better green stopping power but not good for bad driver shots. Harder surfaces on a driver usually cause it to spin less resulting in less slicing and perhaps more roll. There's a few cover materials and they cover both hard and soft core balls. So can we do a video on the outer covers and what that means with respect to swing speed, face contact, feel, spin, etc. Also lets look at some standard range balls, from different brands, and what to expect when you go from a range ball to a regular ball that's made different. Does the material of range balls affect how the ball reacts to good or bad shots enough to cause a player to misjudge their playing? If it slices easier and they fix their slice on the range, could it result in bad draws on the course? I've seen both Wilson pro staff which hit very well and titleist which I actually havent had much luck with. So, let's look at compression and range balls and cover material. Thanks Rick.

@gerryhall914 3 года назад

It's honestly taken 10 strokes off my game this year - from mid-nineties to mid-eighties, just because of the improvement to my driving. Turns out, when you're not dropping a ball or hitting out of the rough after your tee shot, the score comes down.

@@gerryhall914 same here Gerry. Was always hitting mid to high 90s into the 100s at time. This year, my lowest score was an 82 with consistent scores around 84 or 85. Can't wait for the winter to be over already so I can get back out again!

Watched this ONE video the day before a round of golf and ended up improving on my scorecard by 8% from my previous hit out; mainly due to being able to hit it straight. Immediate impact!
