Dear Rick, thank you for this amazing video series! By watching your videos I learned to understand the golf swing and simply play better... I have an important 4 day youth tournament here in Germany from tomorrow and my Driver is terrible. (Playing off 6) Then I just saw your videos and everything is fine! Some good ideas for swing changes. The videos are amazing, great edit, quality, content and short! Keep on the great work!!
Nice Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got astronomical results with it.
I’m a70 year old golfer. 30 years ago the driver was my favorite club, slight draw down the middle and long(for me). Over time I lost my mojo for driving but after watching your driver guide I think the mojo is back. Back to some basics I had lost thanks to your guide. You’re great at making it simple to understand. Thanks!
Rick. There’s a reason you’re No.1 TH-cam vlogger for golf and it starts with how brilliant you are at teaching and using excellent visuals to explain your lesson. I have struggled with driving for years. I watched this series 2-3 times and have played twice since and have been canning it. Shooting under my handicap twice in a row in horrible winter conditions. Cannot thank you enough. Legend!!!
Finally!! After 4 years of lessons and absolute heartache feeling like I was getting nowhere I watched your video yesterday ... had a cheeky 9 after work and actually hit half a dozen of those legendary things called fairways...on the right hole as well!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
It's been a few month since I've been golfing almost everyday to get better. Difficult but certainly the best sports. Your video has always been informative and helping. I'm from Vancouver Canada and I hope I could introduce you to some of the most beautiful golf course in BC! Thanks for reading.
Rick Shiels, I am very new to the game of golf so I have watched both the Complete Golf Swing Guide and the Complete Driver Guide among so many of you other videos and vlogs. I just wanted to let you know how much your videos have helped me. Until today I hadn't shot below 100 but after putting your advice to good use, I shot an 88 today. It was such a great day of golf for me and I just wanted to thank you. I will continue to watch your videos because I still have plenty of room to improve. Keep the awesome videos coming. I love what you are doing. Thanks again Rick!
I can't believe this is all free knowledge at my fingertips. It's super easy to understand the teaching methods he uses and also because of the insanely good editing. Maybe Rick is financially stable but if I was making videos like this, I would honestly put it behind a Patreon as the quality and detailed of all video's Rick makes is superb.

Rick, not sure if you still check old video comments but I wanted to thank you for all that you do especially with TH-cam. Putting these videos out so greatly benefits those of us that cannot spend the money to sit with a coach each week. Just watching your videos on the range and course has greatly benefited my game tremendously. I’m finally at that point where I can have fun and keep up with my friends at the local course. Please keep doing what your doing and your content is absolutely entertaining. Thank you again
Ric I had an amazing day today.....I hit 9 fairways in a row with the driver ,averaged 200m, and one I hit 254m. Most were straight down the middle, some just on edge of fairway, one in the bush because I hit it so far went past the 90 degree bend of the fairway , no slices !!!!! This is incredible for me, 26+ handicap, 63yo playing for 5 years. Last week I sliced more than 50% of my drives into the bush..at least 2 way into the bush declared lost. After my round last week I watched your videos again and again. I followed exactly what you said...stance, grip, hitting ball on the up, following thru. Ric my sincere thanks for your fantastic videos. I have watched heaps of TH-cam golf videos. Your number one.
Just discovered Rick and wish I had 5 years ago. His three part series on curing a slice was priceless. Almost automatically changed my results and very practical, easy solution...Thank you Rick!
Am i the only one thinking that Rick Shiels video is magic? Watch it a few times and it gave me instant tremendous results on my range practice.. Thank you Rick 😙😙
Watched this last night with my dog and has fixed 100% of my driver shot issues. Still can’t believe I was able to correct everything in the 35 minutes it took to watch this series. Thanks Rick!! You are the real deal.
TL;DR: This completely UPGRADED my driver... Rick, this series completely leveled up my driving. I've been playing a year and I've gotten about 5 lessons. My current instructor said my driving should be just like my iron game and for whatever reason I couldn't get it down... My approach shots aren't too bad, but my driving was horrendous. I almost said forget it I'll just use my irons. I use to hit farther with them anyway! I literally implemented these recommendations and I couldn't have ever hit it as far or as straight as I did -- EVER. Each one of the episodes was super critical to making a solid strike. If I skimped out on any of those movements, I ended up with a slice/hook or my launch wasn't great. This series is a game changer and recommend it to anyone. Thanks for providing this awesome content and look forward to watching more!
Thank you so much Rick. This made a huge difference to my driving within one game having been wayward for years! Looking forward to getting out again to hope it sticks!
Guys, I did it. I literally followed this guide step by step and filmed myself. Trained intensively on the technique for 2 months. My drives go straight and far without many effort. Not saying it's easy. In fact it's really hard and requires intense training, but at some point the pieces of the puzzle will fall together and the club will do its work. Thank you Rick for this perfect driver guide !!
I watched this before I went to the driving range for the first time. It went horribly 😂 but now a year or two later I keep getting better. Figured I’d give this another watch now to see if the added experience helps me understand it more
At 59 I stumbled on this by mistake and was absolutely blown away by the presentation and content 2 months later having never played golf I bought clubs and booked lessons Can't keep off the driving range now What a totaly natural talent and brilliant presenter we done Can't wait to watch 10 under par with Tiger Thankyou so much
Hi Rick, I watched The Complete Driver Golf Swing Guide and it has made a real difference to my game. Before watching I was hiting the ball between 160 to 180 yards but not consistently. Now I've been hitting my tee shots 190 to 200 yards consistently. I even managed 298 yards, which is the furthest I've ever hit a tee shot. I watch all your videos and I would like to say thank you for all your help with my game.
Absolutely brilliant content ! I’ve been scared of my driver for years , followed the instructions o. These videos .. practiced on driving range then course and I’ve been hitting 240-260 consistently and straight!! My mate thought I was cheating with a dodgy ball 😂
Rick, i think your complete swing guide along with this driver guide are absolutely brilliant!! Maybe you could do a complete pitching/chipping guide next. Keep up the good work brother.
I’m a pretty new golfer and 2 days ago I went out and didn’t hit one good drive, I went out the day after and watched this video and couldn’t miss a drive if I tried. The leaning tip helped so much! Thank you ⛳️
Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (do a google search)? It is a great one off product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend Sam got great results with it.
I came across Ricks video two months ago. I am 68 years old with a 8.6 index handicap. I had lost distance in my drives and I obviously attributed to age. Before all the new equipment came out , I had Persimon Head drivers etc. You older guys know what I mean. My average driving distance was around 260 between with the occasional 300 yds drives. Well I now hit 215 yds to 220. So on many second and third shots I just concentrated in keeping the ball on the fairway and place pressure on my chipping and putting to score well. I looked at all kinds of videos -which BTW I hate doing, just like books it can screwed up - I came across Ricks video by accident on complete driver swing guide. He was the only instructor that made sense to me. What I like was the remainder of the setup which is fundamentally the key to success! But the dropping the right shoulder at an angle and being behind the ball to strike it made the big key for me. I now hit drives of 240. My index has drop to 7.8. I keep watching this video and his Iron videos just to remain me what to do on the course. Next stop is the chipping video. I need to improve on it. Finally guys, its up to you all to go out and practice. Make sure you practice correctly. Don't go out and just hit balls. Practice with a purpose. Hit them well out and keep watching. This guy is good.
I love all the information and explanations, I have not played since I was a junior and now getting back into it all my knowledge is now gone. Thanks to all your video's I can now play better than ever before!
watched these videos to hopefully get me excited about playing golf again. Went out for a quick nine in the cold today. Every drive was piped down the middle. it was the most fun day of golf i can remember. Thanks, Rick, for making it easy to enjoy the game again....
Great Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (google it)? It is a great one off product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work colleague after a lifetime of fighting got excellent success with it.
This video has changed my life...went straight out and hit 30 ball down the local range ...hit the best drives of my life ..been playing for 15 years never hit the driver with power.... using this method it was amazing ..thanks mate.
Rick, I've stumbled across this set of vids a couple of days ago. And I've never been able to get a ball off the ground with any type of driver (1W, 3W, 5W). After watching it only once, I tried your advice yesterday on the course, and now my driver is my best mate! It actually lifted off the ground and flew into the fairway, more than once!!!! Thx mate! You're a kick-ass teacher!
Hi Rick, thanks for all the great videos! This driver series really helped me setup properly (the shoulder adjustment made a big difference). I have a question - when I hit 3-wood, 5-wood (or maybe even 3-iron) off the tee on shorter par-4, should I also setup my ball high and use the same stance as driver? Or treat it like a fairway shot with a low tee and a ‘normal’ stance and swing? Thanks!
Hey Rick. I wanna take a moment and thank you for all your content. In particular the driver guide series. I've been suffering for 3 years with my swing. Getting a really bad diving hook at 150 yards. So bad infact it looks like a seagull diving for fish. I watched your driver guide 25 times this week and I'm driving 270 - 290 with a 3/4 to 7/8 back swing. I was so close to giving up the game. Thanks again . I'm subscribed for life, keep the content coming
Rick, I am very new to golf and you’ve absolutely changed my confidence in playing! I love going to the range now and practicing all your tips! You’re my favorite golf teacher on TH-cam. Thanks for all you do and the detailed videos ❤
Hi Rick. I've been trying to play golf for the last 20years. I've had the lucky driver shot in the past but never consistently. I came across your videos last week and started practicing all your points shared in the the driver videos. Wow! The improvement in my game is unbelievable! I had lessons a few years back and they was never able to get me hitting left. Thanks to you I'm now hit 270 straight down the middle. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work your helping so many people. Thanks Rick.
I was struggling with hitting my driver and developed somewhat of a hook. Watched this series and immediately knew what I was doing wrong. I am now smashing the ball and hitting more fairways than ever before! Really appreciate the great content! Thanks Rick!
I tend to be very flat with the driver. The club gets more behind me than above me. A trait That i developed as a result of trying to change from a slight fade to a draw. A draw that now often becomes a vicious hook. Cheers Rick.
Carl S I address the ball with my backside a few inches away from a wall, and then I swing my clubs slowly. Attempting to not make contact with the wall. Anything to force me to get my clubs further up into the air. Cheers!
Same for me very flat(short arse) swing with driver on good day nice draw/bad day fore left. Keen to see what Rick says about shaft position at address as at lesson told to have neutral but in this video Rick appears to have back leaning shaft in line with angle of front left leg.
I got the same problem at times I play great shots over 225 but they are short lived. I noticed his arms are coming back on his down swing a lot more from the inside closer to the body. The back swing is not that flat either.
This is legit. I'm the guy who never leaves reviews or comments. I hit my driver on the course, but out of principle more than benefit. In actuality it was a negative for my game. No additional distance vs my longer irons and way more lost balls. We'll, half a bucket in and I'm hitting nothing but straight drives with several rolling out to 250, which is a multi step function improvement for me. Sheils, you're a genius at this!
Got back into golf after 7+years by going to the range again over the last couple of weeks. couldn’t get my driver hitting right at all until watching this guide last night, went to the range today and instant improvement, ball flying straight and far, thank you Rick!

Went from hitting good, consistent drives and then developed a nasty case of low line drive duck hooks. Occasionally would get it back but always reverted back to the ducks. Found these videos two days ago and combined with the slightest grip change (went just slightly weaker with my right) I've been bombing away. Even adjusted the driver to 9 5 and got more distance. These videos are perfect.
Watched all of these Driver Guides. Thought about it for a couple of days. Then went out Friday for my usual social 9 holes with friends. Had two practice swings instead of the usual one. Then had the best driving round ever. Thanks for the guides. If you are near Port Lincoln Golf Course, Australia - I will shout you a drink.
This is great. Watched the series once and had my best driving day in a couple years. Backslid the next couple of rounds, then watched it again and had another good day. Thanks!
Thank you Rick, I watched this series, took screen shots, went to the range to practice what I just learned, and then played 18 holes. You've really helped improve my game. Thank you so much for making content like this for a dufer like me.
Incredible! Haven’t played in months, in one day this walkthrough cured a duck hook that’s haunted me for years. Even the comparisons in iron- vs driver-setup helped smooth out my irons.
I tee’d off with my 5 iron as i was so intimidated using any driver… I have been determined to give it another go and stick with it no matter what… this video has given me the fundamentals and has me already hitting in a straight line… its made a huge impact on my game already!
This video series is great. Went from slicing almost every drive to hitting more consistently straight drives and, for the first time ever about 220-230 yds.
Love these series. The slice video fixed my slice immediately I already knew what was wrong after the first video of the series but still watched the rest. Now onto fixing my swing lol, but I think I’ve got that worked out after this series now too.
I took these instructions to the range today and hit it beautifully. The grip helped me immensely. Can’t wait to get back on the course and try to put it in action. This set and the Complete Golf Swing Guide have helped me tremendously. Thanks Rick!
bro youre the man!!!! i watched the whole guide and im hitting straight shots and can even draw now! thank you so much my drives are going so much further
Thanks for these videos, i haven’t golfed in 3 years and was always terrible at driving. But the points that you talk about it this series really helped me today. I consistently drove the ball straighter and longer than I have before. Now I gotta watch the iron videos!
just started golfing. have never played before and i shot a 108 on a par 72 for my first time. your videos helped me do this. my brother in law was shocked by how i was actually decent having never played before. thank u bro
Hello Rick, I want to tell you that I could not afford private lessons, and my game sucked, then I found your channel, I have to say your simple, easy, instructions are Wonderfull, I took my driver out of my bag many years ago then I found your instruction, and next thing I knew I was ACTUALLY hitting the ball 200+ no-one ever told me to hit the ball on the UPSWING, wow! your iron videos are helping me too, THANK YOU
Rick you are simply awesome!!! I had been struggling with my drives for years and came upon your 5 part series and it has totally changed my game!!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and skills I am a forever subscriber to your channel !!! Your golf lessons are worth their weight in gold!!!! You are my hero!!!!
Im no longer embarrased as a beginner hitting line drives, hitting 4 feet shots with my driver and falling behind with friends with my horrible driver hits each hole...i nailed my driver hits today with 240-260 yrds!!! You helped me so much!
This playlist is full of great tips that i need to incorporate in my swing. Driver has always been my weakest club, but just watching this, i can already spot a couple of things that i haven't been doing -- like dropping the right shoulder more and keeping the tilt through the strike. I also tend to set up with the ball too far back in my stance, which tends to result in the dreaded "banana ball" slice.
This has helped me a lot with the upward swing part before i wasnt leaning slightly back and it was a downward swing but now leaning back a little and getting that upward swing helped me
Finally put this in to use today! Helped me loads! As a beginner I actually hit the ball with a driver today on the range! Something I couldn’t do before and dreaded when playing
Thank you so much for posting these videos! I'm a 6 handicap who was struggling with my driver. I'd lost distance and was hitting a big left to right shot. After this series, I'm hitting the ball straighter off the tee than I had in years! Thanks again
Hi Rick, thank you so much! - Just returned to golf after a break through injury and I was really struggling with the big stick! After watching your instruction and figuring out where I was going wrong I am hitting it consistently and with good length. I am delighted with the improvement, which only took an hour of practice. Really grateful for this, it's brilliant golf teaching by the way. All the best. Lloyd.
Great set of videos, thanks Rick! I watched your driver guide and a few iron videos last week and shot my two best rounds of my career, 73 and then my first ever under par round of 70 last weekened. Thank you again!
Ok, this was out 3 years ago but watched this series and went down the range. Amazing results. Consistently down the middle, felt in control and hitting it out the middle of club. Thanks for my 9-year old who just started playing and massive Rick Shields fan.
G'day from Australia Rick, i just bought the M5, blew my budget right out but can honestly say it was a great buy, my handicap started at 26 and am now playing just under 24 and have only just started playing in the past 3 months I would not have gotten anywhere with my golf if it wasnt for your videos, i watch them religiously every single day, hopefully you make it down under soon would love a meet and greet Cheers mate Dallas Hill
I've been having some trouble with my drive the last couple months. Carry capped at about 200-210 with 230 ovr on average, just feeling very disconnected through my swing. Found this video, went to the Sim bar where I usually practice and tested out what I picked up from the video and instantly gained 7+ mph on my swing speed, 30-40 yds longer carry and a much more solid connection and sound on the ball strike. Still need to tidy it up and get my swing more under control but I am already seeing gains. Thanks for the lesson!
Golf is such a funny game I am an 8 handicap and the snow is flying in Canada so I haven't swung a club in month. My god I went to the indoor range and it was my worst nightmare, duck hooks, slices and sky balls, I was like what just happened. So I went home watched all five videos again. went back to the range and did what the videos said and 275 slight draw all day long. So yes we all need a little reminder every once in a while. Great videos Rick you saved my sanity.
Hi Rick, have had a terrible year playing golf until seeing this video and obviously practising....easily the best instruction driver video on TH-cam....full of information that's easily digestible and short enough to remember....thank you so much.....#wintergrind! Keep it up mate 🤘👌👍
Been playing golf for over 10 years now. Even with several lessons (groups and private) I’ve always had a pretty bad slice until I watched these videos. Not only is my slice gone, I’ve actually added 30 plus yards to my drive. Thanks Rick
This is a great series of videos. Super helpful. Very clear. Many things we kinda heard before but you put everything together so nicely. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks
After 20 years of a "power fade", I followed the full plan and have not only changed to a small draw, I've added 40 yards of carry. Simple to follow and we'll explained. Thanks
Just started golfing a few weeks ago and I’m Hitting about 200yds but slicing a bit left. Finally seeing my drives go straight! Awesome video and super helpful
Hey Rick, been watching your videos for years and think you do a tremendous job. You insight is spot on and your equipment reviews are second to none. Keep up the great work!
This was such a helpful guide, thank you Rick! Before this guide, I was hitting it wrong and would have discomfort in my forearm and elbows. Now I can hit 100 balls at the range, they go much straighter and I feel like I can hit 100 more.

Can't wait to watch 10 under par with Tiger
Thankyou so much
Thanks Rick. Your videos have helped me tremendously. Even at the age of 63 years, I am able to maintain a handicap of 6 thanks to you.
I felt I have to compliment and make some comments to this guy! Amazing instructor!
Production quality on this is fantastic Rick. Looks like you upgraded some things. And your swing is looking great too.
StarlitShadows thank you! 👍
Hi Rick, I watched The Complete Driver Golf Swing Guide and it has made a real difference to my game. Before watching I was hiting the ball between 160 to 180 yards but not consistently. Now I've been hitting my tee shots 190 to 200 yards consistently. I even managed 298 yards, which is the furthest I've ever hit a tee shot. I watch all your videos and I would like to say thank you for all your help with my game.
Absolutely brilliant content ! I’ve been scared of my driver for years , followed the instructions o. These videos .. practiced on driving range then course and I’ve been hitting 240-260 consistently and straight!! My mate thought I was cheating with a dodgy ball 😂
Rick - it's years after you've made this and it's helping me now in 2022. Thank you
Rick, i think your complete swing guide along with this driver guide are absolutely brilliant!! Maybe you could do a complete pitching/chipping guide next. Keep up the good work brother.
I’m a pretty new golfer and 2 days ago I went out and didn’t hit one good drive, I went out the day after and watched this video and couldn’t miss a drive if I tried. The leaning tip helped so much! Thank you ⛳️
Been waiting for a video like this for a long time when it comes to the driver . Thank you so much Rick. You're awesome!!
Myron Kidd 🙏🙏 thank you for the lovely comment Myron!
Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (do a google search)? It is a great one off product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend Sam got great results with it.
I came across Ricks video two months ago. I am 68 years old with a 8.6 index handicap. I had lost distance in my drives and I obviously attributed to age. Before all the new equipment came out , I had Persimon Head drivers etc. You older guys know what I mean. My average driving distance was around 260 between with the occasional 300 yds drives. Well I now hit 215 yds to 220. So on many second and third shots I just concentrated in keeping the ball on the fairway and place pressure on my chipping and putting to score well. I looked at all kinds of videos -which BTW I hate doing, just like books it can screwed up - I came across Ricks video by accident on complete driver swing guide. He was the only instructor that made sense to me. What I like was the remainder of the setup which is fundamentally the key to success! But the dropping the right shoulder at an angle and being behind the ball to strike it made the big key for me. I now hit drives of 240. My index has drop to 7.8. I keep watching this video and his Iron videos just to remain me what to do on the course. Next stop is the chipping video. I need to improve on it. Finally guys, its up to you all to go out and practice. Make sure you practice correctly. Don't go out and just hit balls. Practice with a purpose. Hit them well out and keep watching. This guy is good.
I love all the information and explanations, I have not played since I was a junior and now getting back into it all my knowledge is now gone. Thanks to all your video's I can now play better than ever before!
watched these videos to hopefully get me excited about playing golf again. Went out for a quick nine in the cold today. Every drive was piped down the middle. it was the most fun day of golf i can remember. Thanks, Rick, for making it easy to enjoy the game again....
Play this at 0.5 speed and Rick sounds like he's trying to teach you how to play in the pub after 12 Carlings.
haha....really does! nice!
You just made my day! 😂😂😂
Great Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (google it)? It is a great one off product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work colleague after a lifetime of fighting got excellent success with it.
Oh my 😂😂😭
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. 😂
This video has changed my life...went straight out and hit 30 ball down the local range ...hit the best drives of my life ..been playing for 15 years never hit the driver with power.... using this method it was amazing ..thanks mate.
Rick, I've stumbled across this set of vids a couple of days ago. And I've never been able to get a ball off the ground with any type of driver (1W, 3W, 5W). After watching it only once, I tried your advice yesterday on the course, and now my driver is my best mate! It actually lifted off the ground and flew into the fairway, more than once!!!! Thx mate! You're a kick-ass teacher!
Hi Rick, thanks for all the great videos! This driver series really helped me setup properly (the shoulder adjustment made a big difference). I have a question - when I hit 3-wood, 5-wood (or maybe even 3-iron) off the tee on shorter par-4, should I also setup my ball high and use the same stance as driver? Or treat it like a fairway shot with a low tee and a ‘normal’ stance and swing? Thanks!
Hey Rick. I wanna take a moment and thank you for all your content.
In particular the driver guide series.
I've been suffering for 3 years with my swing. Getting a really bad diving hook at 150 yards. So bad infact it looks like a seagull diving for fish.
I watched your driver guide 25 times this week and I'm driving 270 - 290 with a 3/4 to 7/8 back swing.
I was so close to giving up the game.
Thanks again .
I'm subscribed for life, keep the content coming
Those 270-290 shots are what keep you coming back! Keep playing and enjoy it!
Is it bad that I can hit my 7 iron over 180 yards easily and I can barely get my driver shots past 150? What the fkkkk
Not as bad as me hitting all my irons 150😂
Same but my 6 iron 😂
The amount of times I grab my 5 iron over my driver is quite embarrassing 🤦♂️ lol
Rick, I am very new to golf and you’ve absolutely changed my confidence in playing! I love going to the range now and practicing all your tips! You’re my favorite golf teacher on TH-cam. Thanks for all you do and the detailed videos ❤
Drive Guide, what a great stream, what a great video
Hi Rick. I've been trying to play golf for the last 20years. I've had the lucky driver shot in the past but never consistently. I came across your videos last week and started practicing all your points shared in the the driver videos. Wow! The improvement in my game is unbelievable! I had lessons a few years back and they was never able to get me hitting left. Thanks to you I'm now hit 270 straight down the middle. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work your helping so many people. Thanks Rick.
Can u do a series like this for woods as well like 3,5,7 wood
I was struggling with hitting my driver and developed somewhat of a hook. Watched this series and immediately knew what I was doing wrong. I am now smashing the ball and hitting more fairways than ever before! Really appreciate the great content! Thanks Rick!
What was the main think that changed your swing?
@@clarkpark He switched to Wii golf
I tend to be very flat with the driver. The club gets more behind me than above me. A trait That i developed as a result of trying to change from a slight fade to a draw. A draw that now often becomes a vicious hook. Cheers Rick.
same problem... terrible! do you have a good and simple fix?
Carl S I address the ball with my backside a few inches away from a wall, and then I swing my clubs slowly. Attempting to not make contact with the wall. Anything to force me to get my clubs further up into the air. Cheers!
Same for me very flat(short arse) swing with driver on good day nice draw/bad day fore left. Keen to see what Rick says about shaft position at address as at lesson told to have neutral but in this video Rick appears to have back leaning shaft in line with angle of front left leg.
I got the same problem at times I play great shots over 225 but they are short lived. I noticed his arms are coming back on his down swing a lot more from the inside closer to the body. The back swing is not that flat either.
Every time I'm about to go play I come to this channel and run through some videos. Best stuff you can find.
Putting on a little belly there Mr. Shiels!
westonp80 it's a sign of happiness 👍
It's called power.
@vaki d Rick never answers questions....he's too busy counting his money!
Rick you are far and away the best golf teacher on TH-cam. I just want to give you a HUGE THANK YOU for what you do!
Watched this 69 times and still can’t drive the damn ball. What is wrong with me lol
69, hehehe😀
This is legit. I'm the guy who never leaves reviews or comments. I hit my driver on the course, but out of principle more than benefit. In actuality it was a negative for my game. No additional distance vs my longer irons and way more lost balls. We'll, half a bucket in and I'm hitting nothing but straight drives with several rolling out to 250, which is a multi step function improvement for me. Sheils, you're a genius at this!
Drive guide
Got back into golf after 7+years by going to the range again over the last couple of weeks. couldn’t get my driver hitting right at all until watching this guide last night, went to the range today and instant improvement, ball flying straight and far, thank you Rick!

Went from hitting good, consistent drives and then developed a nasty case of low line drive duck hooks. Occasionally would get it back but always reverted back to the ducks. Found these videos two days ago and combined with the slightest grip change (went just slightly weaker with my right) I've been bombing away. Even adjusted the driver to 9 5 and got more distance. These videos are perfect.
TRUMP 2024 🇺🇲💯
Watched all of these Driver Guides. Thought about it for a couple of days. Then went out Friday for my usual social 9 holes with friends. Had two practice swings instead of the usual one. Then had the best driving round ever. Thanks for the guides. If you are near Port Lincoln Golf Course, Australia - I will shout you a drink.
This is great. Watched the series once and had my best driving day in a couple years. Backslid the next couple of rounds, then watched it again and had another good day. Thanks!
Unquestionably the best golf advice available online. Always enjoy watching and learn something from every video. Thanks!
Thank you Rick, I watched this series, took screen shots, went to the range to practice what I just learned, and then played 18 holes. You've really helped improve my game. Thank you so much for making content like this for a dufer like me.
I watch all these yesterday and played today, struck the ball better than I have done keep it up rick
Incredible! Haven’t played in months, in one day this walkthrough cured a duck hook that’s haunted me for years. Even the comparisons in iron- vs driver-setup helped smooth out my irons.
I tee’d off with my 5 iron as i was so intimidated using any driver… I have been determined to give it another go and stick with it no matter what… this video has given me the fundamentals and has me already hitting in a straight line… its made a huge impact on my game already!
This video series is great. Went from slicing almost every drive to hitting more consistently straight drives and, for the first time ever about 220-230 yds.
Love these series. The slice video fixed my slice immediately I already knew what was wrong after the first video of the series but still watched the rest.
Now onto fixing my swing lol, but I think I’ve got that worked out after this series now too.
I took these instructions to the range today and hit it beautifully. The grip helped me immensely. Can’t wait to get back on the course and try to put it in action. This set and the Complete Golf Swing Guide have helped me tremendously. Thanks Rick!
bro youre the man!!!! i watched the whole guide and im hitting straight shots and can even draw now! thank you so much my drives are going so much further
Thanks for these videos, i haven’t golfed in 3 years and was always terrible at driving. But the points that you talk about it this series really helped me today. I consistently drove the ball straighter and longer than I have before. Now I gotta watch the iron videos!
just started golfing. have never played before and i shot a 108 on a par 72 for my first time. your videos helped me do this. my brother in law was shocked by how i was actually decent having never played before. thank u bro
Hello Rick, I want to tell you that I could not afford private lessons, and my game sucked, then I found your channel, I have to say your simple, easy, instructions are Wonderfull, I took my driver out of my bag many years ago then I found your instruction, and next thing I knew I was ACTUALLY hitting the ball 200+ no-one ever told me to hit the ball on the UPSWING, wow! your iron videos are helping me too, THANK YOU
Rick you are simply awesome!!! I had been struggling with my drives for years and came upon your 5 part series and it has totally changed my game!!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and skills I am a forever subscriber to your channel !!! Your golf lessons are worth their weight in gold!!!! You are my hero!!!!
Im no longer embarrased as a beginner hitting line drives, hitting 4 feet shots with my driver and falling behind with friends with my horrible driver hits each hole...i nailed my driver hits today with 240-260 yrds!!! You helped me so much!
After 5 years and still the video is helping people. Thank you for doing this, I got a lot of value from this one
This playlist is full of great tips that i need to incorporate in my swing. Driver has always been my weakest club, but just watching this, i can already spot a couple of things that i haven't been doing -- like dropping the right shoulder more and keeping the tilt through the strike. I also tend to set up with the ball too far back in my stance, which tends to result in the dreaded "banana ball" slice.
This video was golden for me as a beginner. Immediately changed my game dramatically the very next time I played after watching. Thanks Rick!
This has helped me a lot with the upward swing part before i wasnt leaning slightly back and it was a downward swing but now leaning back a little and getting that upward swing helped me
Finally put this in to use today! Helped me loads! As a beginner I actually hit the ball with a driver today on the range! Something I couldn’t do before and dreaded when playing
Thank you so much for posting these videos! I'm a 6 handicap who was struggling with my driver. I'd lost distance and was hitting a big left to right shot. After this series, I'm hitting the ball straighter off the tee than I had in years! Thanks again
Hi Rick, thank you so much! - Just returned to golf after a break through injury and I was really struggling with the big stick! After watching your instruction and figuring out where I was going wrong I am hitting it consistently and with good length. I am delighted with the improvement, which only took an hour of practice. Really grateful for this, it's brilliant golf teaching by the way. All the best. Lloyd.
I’ve been on the driving range and I’m brand new to this, my best was a 220 yard but after this video and a few practice shots I hit a 260 😊
Great set of videos, thanks Rick! I watched your driver guide and a few iron videos last week and shot my two best rounds of my career, 73 and then my first ever under par round of 70 last weekened. Thank you again!
Ok, this was out 3 years ago but watched this series and went down the range. Amazing results. Consistently down the middle, felt in control and hitting it out the middle of club. Thanks for my 9-year old who just started playing and massive Rick Shields fan.
I constantly watch videos from Rick all day! I have a boring job. I’m getting ten times better abs teaching my son as well.
Thanks Rick!
Thanks!
Best driver instruction videos I have ever seen.
thank you so much! 🙌
Rick
G'day from Australia Rick, i just bought the M5, blew my budget right out but can honestly say it was a great buy, my handicap started at 26 and am now playing just under 24 and have only just started playing in the past 3 months
I would not have gotten anywhere with my golf if it wasnt for your videos, i watch them religiously every single day, hopefully you make it down under soon would love a meet and greet
Cheers mate

I've been having some trouble with my drive the last couple months. Carry capped at about 200-210 with 230 ovr on average, just feeling very disconnected through my swing. Found this video, went to the Sim bar where I usually practice and tested out what I picked up from the video and instantly gained 7+ mph on my swing speed, 30-40 yds longer carry and a much more solid connection and sound on the ball strike. Still need to tidy it up and get my swing more under control but I am already seeing gains. Thanks for the lesson!
Golf is such a funny game I am an 8 handicap and the snow is flying in Canada so I haven't swung a club in month. My god I went to the indoor range and it was my worst nightmare, duck hooks, slices and sky balls, I was like what just happened. So I went home watched all five videos again. went back to the range and did what the videos said and 275 slight draw all day long. So yes we all need a little reminder every once in a while. Great videos Rick you saved my sanity.
I have been watching you for years thank you for all the free golf tips . God bless you sir
Rick, you're the man, best content and coach/teacher/tester around.
Hi Rick, have had a terrible year playing golf until seeing this video and obviously practising....easily the best instruction driver video on TH-cam....full of information that's easily digestible and short enough to remember....thank you so much.....#wintergrind! Keep it up mate 🤘👌👍
Drive guide! Your videos helped me break 90! First time in 10 years. Thanks, Rick!
Brian Baker Hi Brian ! Congrats you have won the prize giveaway! 🍾🏆I will DM you to get your delivery details! Thanks for watching !!!!
Rick Shiels Golf Thanks so much! I can't believe it!
Been playing golf for over 10 years now. Even with several lessons (groups and private) I’ve always had a pretty bad slice until I watched these videos. Not only is my slice gone, I’ve actually added 30 plus yards to my drive. Thanks Rick
This is a great series of videos. Super helpful. Very clear. Many things we kinda heard before but you put everything together so nicely. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks
After 20 years of a "power fade", I followed the full plan and have not only changed to a small draw, I've added 40 yards of carry. Simple to follow and we'll explained. Thanks
Just started golfing a few weeks ago and I’m
Hitting about 200yds but slicing a bit left. Finally seeing my drives go straight! Awesome video and super helpful
Hey Rick, been watching your videos for years and think you do a tremendous job. You insight is spot on and your equipment reviews are second to none. Keep up the great work!
I love that you said “loads to cover” but it’s a 5 minute video. This is exactly what I wanted.
Without a doubt the simplest but most complete guide to how to hit driver.
Unreal advice 👌🏽 took it all to the range today and I’m genuinely buzzing with the results thankyou
Hi Rick the set-up was the one that has made the biggest difference in hitting my driver. Thanks for the solid advice
This was such a helpful guide, thank you Rick! Before this guide, I was hitting it wrong and would have discomfort in my forearm and elbows. Now I can hit 100 balls at the range, they go much straighter and I feel like I can hit 100 more.
