Long time golfer, returning after a long hiatus. Rick, your videos are great for all skill levels. You've really brought to light those little tips and tricks that got lost in my mind.
I have been following you for over a year and my game shows it. You have helped me achieve me winning my senior group championship for the "D" players. You rock... Next year I have my eyes on the "C" group. I just recently moved from 2015 Big Bertha to the new Ping G700. I don't need luck I have you on my side...
Rick's how to's and various step by step vids are so useful and have helped me improve ma game also and I'm watching this from Scotland and 3 years later when it came out
Since watching you video's, I've purchased my 1st set of vokey Wedges, and love practicing, high, medium, low, with each wedge,....60 56 50 46 degree...I've also moved up to the 1st forward tee after white....This allows me to use my wedges more, and more game control
Another great video with great little tips. One of the biggest skills that helped my handicap drop from a 7 to a 3 this year has been controlling the height of my wedges. I don't always hit knockdowns like you said, but learning to control the spin and the height of short irons and wedges has helped me get the ball much closer to the hole, especially with wind and elevation changes to the greens.
Wow thank you. I have been struggling with my short game part due to bunkers and roughs. I cant break par because of this . You my brother have help me realize a huge part of my problems thank you keep them coming. Also keep reposting your old stuff on FB and Instagram as well no matter what. It's to much to remember can use a refresher 😉👊🏻💪🏼
Excellent video Rick! Superbly produced and very educational! The production value of your lessen videos has really taken off. Not only is the content helpful, expertly delivered and easy to understand but it is also very professionaly done! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Eckhard Grottendieck I completely agree u don't need any experience in learning golf techniques to understand Ricks videos I have recommended rick to so many new golfers bc of it
Good day Rick! First you are my favorite internet PGA instructor i have seen many times all your incredible, helpful, well done and a wildest range of videos! I have learn so much being a mid beginner and when ever i have difficulties i always come back and look for a video concerning my problem. I just bought a brand new Taylormade EXTRA FULL set RBZ SPEEDLITE as my retirement gift and at the same time raise my quality of equipment! So far so good i made a really good choies cause i brought down my handicap of 4 now at 6. I just wanted to thank you for all your work and passion to the sport and i am sure you helped many many players new and old to get better and enjoying playing lot better golf. Again Thank you and keep up the good work ! If i had 1 request it would be to know more on the approche of the green and selection of wedges starting 130 yards. God Bless. Frank More from Québec city Canada!!!
Excellent video. I have been hitting low stingers with success but was insure why I had that ball flight. Now I know. 😂 It is exactly how I have been setting up.
I don't typically watch instructional videos, but this helped me a lot. I play a high shot for EVERYTHING. All my irons and wedges. I take minimal divots, and when I do, they're very shallow. I suffer playing in wind. Just the slight differences in ball positions and shaft position is super helpful.
Thanks for the excellent video and lesson. This is a first video that I have seen like this. I am definitely going to incorporate this into my game. The course management video series and videos like this one should help anyone shave strokes off their game.
Love the videos! Just started to watching 2 weeks ago. All ready fixed slice and irons because of you videos. My score is around 110-120. Going out this Friday and feeling like I going to hit in the low 90s. Will let you know. Thanks and please keep up the great videos.
Really good again.. we have changed and now just work with your videos buy still see our pro as you recommend... looking forwards to working with them and getting the handicaps down
Great tips Rick - I have to be honest I usually hit the high shot for fear of catching the leading edge in the turf and have recently gone back to a more neutral hand position as I was delofting too much. Your video explains the other options beautifully. Something else to practice.
Thanks for the excellent explanation and video Rick. You've really helped my golf game from across the Pond!! Just gotta keep it consistently in the Fairway!!
Great help. This arrived at the exact time I'm experimenting with this. Confirmed my thoughts on ball position but added hand position which I will practice. I generally hit the low ball for fear of hitting the ground first. Thanks RS
Nice tips. I always find it hard to get the distance and the right power in the swing for the low shot. The other 2 are my go to shots. Great channel lots of usefull tips.
Great video rick, I have only just started to vary my wedge shots. I use four wedges from 45 degrees up to 60 degrees. I know pretty well what they will do in length, but mainly full on high lobs when pitching. Your video has given me food for though.
I prefer the middle high shot myself, i play my 52 for most of the time but frequently practice all of this with my 56 and 60. It all depends on the yardage on the shot on the course. In my opinion wedges are the club that is most fun to practice with, and u should feel comfortable with all of them. Makes no sense to only be good with one wedge. Great vid man.
Great vid Rick!!!!can you do more real on course tips? chipping / piting, putting, course management, swing thoughts on course.... as you know range is totally different than playing on the field.. so more on course tips, etc would help!
another well explained video Rick. If no-one understands this explanation of dynamic loft there is no hope 🤣 keep up the great content. why there is a number of thumbs down is beyond me 😯
Thanks Rick for this video. some great insight into course management. My ball flight is typically low because I have such a forward press in my swing. Great to see how to adjust so I can play a different trajectory when I want. I tend to go back to the forward press so I don't struggle with ball striking. Although I love your course blogs and club testing, I benefit much more from your instructional videos.
Good info Rick as always. I play the high to mid flight. I hv never even tried to use my wedge to flight it low. I will practice this shot at range and see if I can do as you suggest. Ty
Brilliant. Played a pitch and putt yesterday and this video explains why I can't get consistency in my wedge distance. Could you do a video that explains how to get this shot to go straight and not slightly left/right of the green too that would be great.
More videos like this that show how and why! Maybe try from different lies (deep/light rough, tight lies on fringe or apron, above or below your feet, different club options for each?) Def like this video though!
Loving the videos Rick! Really simple and clear so keep up the good work mate! Like the idea of this video and would be great to see a series of videos on course management, working out holes backwards for club selections off the tee and distances for iron shots into greens, using yardage books to work out best positions off the tee and how to approach greens. Going to be using the driver videos to get more consistent off the tee and look forward to watching more from you. Cheers
I've always played my wedges in the back of my stance. I think I'll head to the range and put my wedges back to the middle of my stance. I'm hoping it helps with my accuracy and less mishits. Thanks Rick!
I play wedges at the back of stance in and around the green also but this gives me confidence in working on my middle stance playing a wedge shot and greening but always got the back of stance pitch n run in the locker
Hi Rick, was good, love to see you play woodlands in Bristol signature course, not hard but interesting. It's been open every winter. Never had greens as temps. Do like all your tutorials. Thanks for good tips, just wish had this when was young. Cheers Brian
For my high shots, I open the club up and set the ball forward in my stance. For my low ones, I close the club face down and place the ball way back in my stance, and stop my follow through with the back of my hand facing the target. This keeps the club from finishing and can really create some nice stingers.
Superb video Rick - described the adjustment in those shots really well and easy to understand. First time I have heard you refer to ‘Tariff’ what does this mean?
Really though, if you want to hit it higher, just go down a club (assuming it will still reach), and if you want to hit it lower, go up a club and choke up. These things you mentioned are things nearly every decent golfer will pick up eventually, but most of us will also realize there are very few instances with which you'd ever be forced to use this. Stopping it short being the most common, but you can just aim a little left and open the face up a tad as well, and then just swing normally. You have to get used to how that shot will play in the air, and even on the green, as there will be more of a side spin, vs all backspin, but again, it's just something you have to play a few times and get used to what it's going to do. Hardly ever any reason to try and deloft a wedge. Just go to a lower lofted club, and choke up with a easy swing.
Thx Rick.... going to practice those.... I just flit between 52, 56 & 60 with VERY average results, definitely a weak part of my game 🤪 along with driving, irons and putting 😂🤔
![เป็นไปได้ไหม - WanMai [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_6lZ6b3_7Vo/mqdefault.jpg)
I usually try the “let’s see if I can get it near the hole” method myself
This. In many aspects of life.
Hahaha that's always a good start pal. My ball doesn't ever go straight so I'm happy with somewhere near the greenside
My preference is usually “don’t skull it into the next fairway”. If I hit the green; success!
Best comment, and all of the comments down below are hilarious😂😭!!
Long time golfer, returning after a long hiatus. Rick, your videos are great for all skill levels. You've really brought to light those little tips and tricks that got lost in my mind.
I've wondered why some golfers have their hands finishing around the body, instead of up, and your video gave me the "why." Thx, Rick!
I have been following you for over a year and my game shows it. You have helped me achieve me winning my senior group championship for the "D" players. You rock...
Next year I have my eyes on the "C" group. I just recently moved from 2015 Big Bertha to the new Ping G700. I don't need luck I have you on my side...
Great lesson. Thank you!
Seriously Rick, your videos are insanely good and constantly getting better.
Brandon Bland indeed they are
the graphics are really great Rick-cheers!

Probably the easiest and clearest explanation. Very important to master. Thanks Rick!

Love the annotations Rick! Great graphics to help us while listening to you.
Love these guides. No nonsense or long ambling introductions with heavy science just simple and well explained. Thank you
Wow thank you. I have been struggling with my short game part due to bunkers and roughs. I cant break par because of this . You my brother have help me realize a huge part of my problems thank you keep them coming. Also keep reposting your old stuff on FB and Instagram as well no matter what. It's to much to remember can use a refresher 😉👊🏻💪🏼
So good. I'm a beginner and this is the first instruction I have seen on altering ball flight heights with wedges. Thanks for your great content!
This is going to help my consistency in ball flight. I hadn't put a few of these concepts together until seeing this video. Thanks Rick!
Best lessons on pitching I've ever seen or heard. Thank you so much!
Best golf instructions on TH-cam hands down!
I favor all three shots. like you said it depends on the flag position and wind direction. Another great Ricky Video!!!
It's wonderful to see you performing outdoor. Thanks for the tip,Rick.
Great video Rick. Your comment to "let the golf course force you to make certain shots" makes a lot of sense.
Great video one again. It's these finesse shots that make the game so interesting and demonstrates the difference between good players and the rest.
Love your videos. You have a very clear and easily understood way of explaining things.
Excellent video Rick! Superbly produced and very educational! The production value of your lessen videos has really taken off. Not only is the content helpful, expertly delivered and easy to understand but it is also very professionaly done! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Eckhard Grottendieck I completely agree u don't need any experience in learning golf techniques to understand Ricks videos I have recommended rick to so many new golfers bc of it
Time to get out on the range and practise these shots. Very easy to follow - thanks!
Thanks for your tips! I'm finally starting to get the hang of this game!
Excellent instruction. Hadn't considered the lower flight option for back pins. Thank you.
Great video, I liked the editing to track the call flight to put the emphasis on what your explaining! Keep them coming Rick 👍

Best breakdown I've seen of a wedge shot Rick. This was so helpful and the wedge game is so important 👍
Great production value. Takes the vids to the next level. Not to mention very good content. Well done Rick.
Great graphics (although a bit fast at times) great advice, and very useful information. Great work Rick!
Love the videos! Just started to watching 2 weeks ago. All ready fixed slice and irons because of you videos. My score is around 110-120.
Going out this Friday and feeling like I going to hit in the low 90s.
Will let you know. Thanks and please keep up the great videos.
good video Rick.. like the way you explained every shot and ball position... thumps up rick...
Thanks for this tip, I'm shooting in the upper 80s I should drop a few shots with this tip!
top notch rick! Simple , sweet , crisp articulate video. keep it up mate
I've wanted to do this for awhile. Thanks for making a good video about it.
Great video again and so informative and easy to follow .
Really good again.. we have changed and now just work with your videos buy still see our pro as you recommend... looking forwards to working with them and getting the handicaps down
Great tips Rick - I have to be honest I usually hit the high shot for fear of catching the leading edge in the turf and have recently gone back to a more neutral hand position as I was delofting too much. Your video explains the other options beautifully. Something else to practice.

Great video Rick - positive thinking for lower scores !
Great help. This arrived at the exact time I'm experimenting with this. Confirmed my thoughts on ball position but added hand position which I will practice. I generally hit the low ball for fear of hitting the ground first. Thanks RS
Great video Rick, I think the low shot is crucial to master for us here in the UK!
Nice tips. I always find it hard to get the distance and the right power in the swing for the low shot. The other 2 are my go to shots. Great channel lots of usefull tips.

Great vid man.
How much quicker and easier can this much information get? I don't think a single bit, great video Rick!
Great lesson you helped me out a lot on changing the height of my shot....thank you

as you know range is totally different than playing on the field.. so more on course tips, etc would help!
Really like these videos of how to think on the golf course to hit the right club and shot. Keep em coming!
another well explained video Rick. If no-one understands this explanation of dynamic loft there is no hope 🤣 keep up the great content. why there is a number of thumbs down is beyond me 😯
Very concise thank you - loved the hands finishing tip - I think that will be my new swing thought on these 👍

Such a clear, concise lesson!
I played today and I was talking to my mate saying "I need to take a lesson to learn how to vary my shots". Thanks :)
Thanks, learnt something, totally new for me!
Fantastic video today! The information and video production was amazing!
Fantastic tutorial Rick once again 👍
Super video- excellent. Thanks Rick
Great info. The only concern I have if when trying the high shot, don't you think the mind set might run the risk of blading it? how to avoid that?
Excellent video learnt a lot. Thanks!
really Good video i have a problem with the wedges i tend to hit it to high so i doesent even go long. But i can fix it now great video.
Thanks Rick, great vid. I struggle with these shots.
Great explanation on how to play those shots Rick, I'll keep it in mind when next I'm in a similar position.
Rick this is a super great and informative video.. Keep them coming
Great editing and images. Very nice touch
Omg thanks so much. I played so many bad wedge shots in comp today
Good info Rick as always. I play the high to mid flight. I hv never even tried to use my wedge to flight it low. I will practice this shot at range and see if I can do as you suggest. Ty

Great video on perspective lofts and techniques! Awesome video my man!
Awesome Rick Tips.... HIgh & Medium
Rick I always enjoy your video's they are superb
Rick please do more of these! The vlogs n challenges are fun but are a bit much. You are a coach so we need more coaching vids!
I've always played my wedges in the back of my stance. I think I'll head to the range and put my wedges back to the middle of my stance. I'm hoping it helps with my accuracy and less mishits. Thanks Rick!

Superb video Rick - described the adjustment in those shots really well and easy to understand. First time I have heard you refer to ‘Tariff’ what does this mean?
Just come across this again. What a great video
The shots did look good, my preference would be the high as it should stop quicker therefore giving some more control. Great tips as usual.
I love the low, one hopper!
Thanks ...Always fancy middle Traj.

Excellent Video Rick, love them. Keep up the great work. Your simple explanations and visuals are brilliant :)
Great video both content and production - Keep it up!!!
Will try these on range but just remembering will be the thing as with restrictions due to COVID19 won't be at course for a while. Thanks.
this is the best one i have seen thanks
Thx Rick.... going to practice those.... I just flit between 52, 56 & 60 with VERY average results, definitely a weak part of my game 🤪 along with driving, irons and putting 😂🤔
simple ideas well presented thanks
