Hi I'm Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This TH-cam 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!

Hopefully this helps new golfers and is a nice refresher for those who've been playing a while! *LIKE* the video if you found it helpful!
I love the video, found it really useful.
Haha
Just watched youre video about the golf grip that you posted on april 6th of 2014. 👍👍
These videos help so much, thank you!
I was told that when you're talking about pressure, hold the club like your holding a bird. You dont want to let it go, but you dont want to kill it.
This was very helpful Rick! You should do an instructional video about the bounce of wedges and different grinds as well!
Went onto the golf range today after being invited by a friend.. i'm 54 and NEVER played golf before in my life... Well after 2 hours and 2 blisters later, I'm hooked big time.. i've now been giving a full set of clubs from a friend and can't wait to go back again on the range. :)
That's my story now. It's addicting lol. I certainly got blisters too haha.
Any updates?
I literally fixed my grip during a round today and then parred a par 5 after that. Crazy how many little things make the difference in golf.
Yeah same here, I fixed my slice with my grip
good shit
I did that a few months ago. After years of battling a slice I tweaked my grip to a much stronger grip. It felt awkward at first but once I started banging my driver arrow straight and much more distance I knew I had actually found something in golf that wasn't gonna go away the next time I played. Not a quick fix but a permanent part of my setup...I now have the feels of what it's like to have confidence in that the club isn't gonna spin outta my hands when I make contact.
Really crazy, it changed my game too.
Dimitri malatches morning ooo
BBC right
My gx
M
No he
I was hitting in the low 100s but now after watching your videos and practicing I’m in the high 80s and improving every game!
Very much appreciated!!!
Rick: "First rule, make sure your clubs are straight"
Me: **Throws away all my bent clubs
See now I keep my bent clubs so I have an excuse when I shank. Otherwise it's my fault.
Me: Throws away all my gay clubs.
How do you have so many likes it’s not even funny...
@@djjazzyjeff1232 lmao
This video really helped me! I have never played golf before and this was the video my aunts friend assigned me to watch. I went to a driving range the next day and it really helped me!
Thanks Rick.
I've been golfing for years, and I'm shocked at how much I needed this video. You da best, Rick!
Decades for me :)
Always good to come back and remind myself of these things.
Rick, as someone who only started playing golf this year I didn't realize what I was missing not playing this incredible game. All of your videos are so informative and really have helped me increase my game substantially in a short amount of time. All the little things seem to add up. Thanks again and keep on keeping on.
This helped me immensely during my top golf session I managed to score a total amount of 3 points thank you so much love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Hopefully I can get my score under 200 now 😂
Owen Dawkins: Luuuxury, I can’t break 500...
i feel ya, keep wanting to dig holes and plant plants
Jason White "I didnt know we were going to the beach today"
185 youll be good
Hopefully the second hole will get better
Thanks for this video! I learned a very similar method from instructors when I was young, and it’s never bad to have a reminder about the fundamentals. Golf feels very overwhelming when you hear of all the things you need to do to even execute a swing that will hit the ball. Simple, yet comprehensive instruction like this helps out so much!
I’m loving this channel! I’ve been golfing consistently for a few months now and the change has been night and day. It’s actually given me some confidence when teeing up and has allowed me to hang in there with my friends who are more experienced.
I’ve been playing golf for about 4 years now and I’ve come back to this video NUMEROUS times for reminders. Thanks Rick!
Literally changed my game forever. Nobody ever told there was a way to hold a club other than how I have always held it. I'm hitting straight everytime nonstop. You are the man.
Rick!!!! I've shot my personal best today . Didn't know I was holding my club wrong . Sky is the limit.
Hey Rick, just wanted to say thank you for this video, its amazing how one little correction can make such a difference. I was really struggling with my irons and this has given me so much confidence, really enjoy your content.
Rick - My bottom hand position was wrong all these years (was putting bottom hand next to my top thumb). I’ve gotten to a 9 handicap this way, but struggled with periods of inconsistency. I pulled this video out after going bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey. Made the adjustment, made par for the last five holes. Thanks!
I didn't even know pinky locking and offsetting your thumb was a thing until a few years into golfing. Totally changed my level of play.
The visuals are amazingly useful. Thank you Rick!
I have recently figured out my handicap and it is 19. I have been playing for a number of years with little to no improvement. I started watching your videos and come across this video. I went to a local course today just to try out 9 holes with correction with grip. I shot 4 over par. I was so amazed by how just a small change could make a huge effect on my game.
Thank you so much Rick. I’ve been drawing my irons since day one, I always thought that my swing was the problem but that wasn’t the case. It was my inconsistent grip. By the way, You seem like the nicest guy ever. Keep up the great work
Good timing on this....my grip pressure is definitely too strong so was actually searching for help and found this...Thanks another good one Rick
Why oh why do we forget this? Excellent video. Thanks.
This is pure gold! Thanks for a fundamental lesson.
Morning routine every time I play a round, to do- must watch Rick videos
No joke this actually improved my game today. Probably by 20%. Which means I'm not a very good golfer to began with but now I'm 20% better.
Made this correction during my range session today and what an instant difference!!
As always simple, useful and easy to follow. You are a great teacher for making golf easy
Rick, you and Pete got me into golfing 2 years ago. I've probably watched all your videos, and you have definitely helped me out. I've learned just as many tips from you, as I have from getting private lessons. Thanks for all the help, and years of enjoyable videos!
Your video has made me get back my swing that had deserted me. Thanks a million. I only needed to go back to the basics and get my grip dialled in.
Best grip video out there. I watched tons and was hoping for one exactly like this! Step by step with great graphic overlays and close up shots! Awesone, thanks!!
Simply the best tutorial on the golf grip I have found on TH-cam! Your demonstration leaves no unanswered questions. Thannks Rick, you made my day!
As someone new to golf this is really helpful!! 🏌️♀️
Fantastic rick that for me is the best golf grip video ever and I've watched thousands so well illustrated and clear well done you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏌️🏌️🏌️🏌️🏌️
I had an instructor that would pull the club out of my hand at any moment, to make sure I didn't have a death grip on it. That really made me relax and feel the club in my hands. Tight enough so you don't throw the club like Judge Smails, but loose enough that someone could take it away from you.
Love it Rick. I have gone back to basics with my grip within the last 2 months and it has helped me incredibly well. Sometimes we get into bad habits that we don’t even realise we are doing. I had gotten into a pattern of having a very strong left hand grip. This drill has helped to get back to neutral.
Fundamentals are so important in any sport, even more so in golf. With so many variables to consider on the golf course, having the basics down can prove invaluable. Thanks, Shielsy!
Went up the driving range after this video, impressed myself, playing a lot better. Then I changed my grips on all my clubs to a thicker grip, golf pro noticed that I had big hands, so size of the grip is also important. Massive difference and more comfortable.. Thank Rick
My favorite golf tips channel on TH-cam. Much respect and kudos, Mr. Shiels
I learned a similar way from a nice person when I was in the driving range struggling and I just wished I would’ve heard those tips early. This will help so many people coming into golf.
Rick: "First rule, make sure your clubs are straight"
Me: **Throws away all my gay clubs
Rick, 'dont strangle the clubs'
Me, books into anger management classes
I threw all my gay ones out but ended up with just a boring putter which is just like real life i guess!
@Sambo Jones Well said, and I'm not 'Gay'
Get a life!
😅😅
Just wanted to say thanks. Watching this made so much sense and, as a beginner, totally changed my game!
I was just thinking about my grip the other day. Happy to see this video show up, great timing Rick lol. Thanks!
Really enjoying the new videos . I’ve watched the practice and how you play multiple times now. Great learnings. Thanks and appreciate the content.
Love your video’s Rick! Keep up the good work! You’ve helped more people than you know including me!
Just watched this video along with a few other videos about shallowing the club in the downswing and just hit my local range which had Toptracer. My usual drives go max 240/250 yards and was hitting 280+ near enough every time (highest one was 298) massive improvement! Thank you 🙏🏼
Rick, I’ve always had a very strong interlocking grip. However, for an entire decade I have been far too dominant with my lower hand gripping hard to try to steer the ball. Grip pressure in the lower hand is often not spoken about so glad to see you bring it up. Releasing that pressure helps to feel what a pure strike is and allows the club head to be released.
Hey, Rick! This video is a fantastic reminder of some fundementals. I've started watching A LOT of your videos lately and I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate what you are doing. I have seen serious improvements in my game. Really enjoying the content!👍
Super relevant for me at the moment having recently taking up golf and just completed my second ever round. Noticed my grip was causing me big issues after watching this... Awesome video as always Rick!
sir...... I cannot thank you enough. I have been palming my driver since day one & was about to give up. I saw this video & took it out on the course today. I completely did everything you said & instantly I nailed a straight 220 mtr drive. It was all about my grip!! ...I have good power & that instantly turned into distance because my grip change stopped my slice. I love you.
I made an adjustment to this style. Went to the range twice. Friday was THEE best day I have had in Golf after following this video! I used ONE mulligan and dropped my score down more than 10. I really liked this one! My last 6 holes I finished +5! Iv been using the Edge set you recommended for the price. Keep making great videos!
I know this is an older video, but this just fixed my yank pull to the left. Rechecked my grip and the whole swing came back. Thx!
Switched to an interlock grip and made my grip stronger and had a great day on the course! Thanks for all the tips Rick 👍
Again, another very helpful video for teaching pleb me about what I'm doing wrong. Love how you keep this simple and give me something to focus and work on. Short, sweet and to the point.
Thanks for the quality in depth breakdown Rick!
Best video on grip ever. Rick is so clear explaining but what i appriciate the most, he's the only one not pushing people to extreme changes and putting only one system as the best in the world. Thanks a lot for all this.
Rick, you can mention that to much pressure will lighten the clubhead and shorten this ball flight distance. A great one I learned from the Pro near me. Keep up the good I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Thank you
Been watching that clay guys how to videos..... I turn them off half way through because he is so technical I dont want to watch them. Your explanation of the exact same thing is just so much easier to understand and apply. Thanks for these videos! I'm much better because of them.
Good video, always worth getting the basics correct gives you a solid foundation to develop the rest of your game.
You are both the best Golf Teacher and the best English teacher.
So helpful! Thank you Rick, I am plowing through your videos one by one!
It's a perfect reminder for everyone, especially with spring right about the corner. I sent the link to a bunch of my friends. Thanks for posting this video!! ⛳ 🏌️♂️
Hello Rick. I have been viewing your videos for some time now and have used your reviews to buy new clubs. Today I studied your videos on iron striking, grip technique and driving the ball straight. How simple you have made these particularly iron striking which seemed so complicated to me. I never realised that there were markings on the grip to help get the face of the club square. Absolutely great advice and thank you. Best wishes to you and what you do to help those of us who aspire to be better golfers.
Love your lessons Rick, I definitely have grip issues and will be practicing this at my next golf range outing. Cheers
Up until recently I have always grouped my shots to the left. A tiny adjustment to my grip has done absolute wonders! Cheers Rick 🍻
Watched this video a couple of days ago, and wow did these pointers on how to grip the club really help! Literally went from slicing 4/5 shots to slicing 1/5! Thank you Rick!!
Brilliant video rick for all keep these types of videos coming
Amazing video, I’ve often quit golf after a few months because all my tee shots whip to the right and never knew what the issue was, couple of days ago my friend suggested altering my grip a bit and it made a lot of difference.
It was incredibly uncomfortable so having you tell me that’s very normal at the start was assuring! Everything in this video answered all my questions, thanks!
This video came at the perfect time, thank you rick for all your golf advice!! Started a few months ago and love this sport now
Such a good video,you've help me out so much over the years,keep them coming and let's hit a million 🏌️🏌️🏌️🏌🏻♀️
I used wrong grip for a year. This changed EVERYTHING. Cheers Rick 🙏
Rick, I am 38 and have played golf since I was 12. I have always been very inconsistent with my ball striking. I didn't realize how bad my grip was or how to grip the club correctly until I watched this video. I played for the first time in over a year this past weekend. I hit my driver and irons better than I have my whole life. Thank you for making this video and keeping the grip concepts simple and easy to understand.
this is something i tried to get a grip of recently as it was pointed out by my local pro i was having lessons with that i was holding it wrong.i was holding it more in the palm and wearing gloves out at the thumb near the wrist.this content is basic stuff but very important and i love your content so please keep it coming thank you .
Never had golf lessons, until now. Cheers Rick! Awesome channel! 🙂
You're the best Rick. I rely on your videos for all my golf questions.
I just love your video's Rick - You are the people golfer who helps all that tune into your channel, yeah the grip is so important, you just have to look down at your arms/hands as they are positioned as you walk, we are all built different resulting in our hands hanging at a certain degree, the minute you force them into a different position they are obviously going to react to the change in where you position them on the shaft! But yes the video Rick has shown us gives us all a guide line in how to hold the club - this guy is great and loyal to his followers, not like other channels who are away playing golf in warmer climates and posting their great week away! I don't care how their trip went or how they played, here on this channel you get tuition and commitment from a great guy!
Thanks Rick, you have helped my golf and my swing this year as I was lost for over a year in trying to find my game due to domestics !
Thanks for reminding me about how important the grip is. Cheers mate.
This is the best explanation of holding a club that i have see. Well done!! Clear, concise and easy to understand. I also like the graphics added to support what you are saying. Awesome!! Many thanks!!
Hey Rick, This has really helped me improve my golf game. Thank you very much!
I was literally watching your video earlier on gripping the club from years back. Thanks for the tips Rick
Thanks Rick as always for your awesome videos. Watching this in the US in the morning it's perfect, because I get to try your tips at the range after work!!
I think it’s great you’re doing these tip videos, even though I already know all of this what you’ve said I always forget it and remember it at the end of my inevitable shocking round!!😁
Thanks so much Graham!
Rick Shiels Golf you’re very welcome young man!😁
If you don’t remember this how do you know that you used to know it?
emerysnap because I know what I’m supposed to do, but my mind just goes during a round and I forget the basics..but come the 17th or 18th I suddenly realise where I’ve been going wrong and it all comes back to me
@@grahamwale9268 Yup! So true! A birdie on the 18th hole ALWAYS makes me wanna come back to play more LOL!
Have been watching a lot of videos on grip and this one is awesome. Thanks so much!
Enjoy your videos. Your topics are insightful and you do a good job explaining both basic and advanced concepts. Keep up the great work.
Your instruction is top-shelf! I just picked up golf and have been focused on my swing and the mechanics of my swing were good, but my contact was never consistent. I implemented the overlap as you showed and immediately improved my contact accuracy!
Probably one of the most useful tip videos I’ve seen. I’ve played golf for years and you get into habits you don’t realise you are in. It was good to watch the video and reset my grip. Thanks Rick.
Best grip tutorial I’ve seen, only play topgolf but this will help a lot - cheers
I used to do a 10 finger grip when I first started. And I was new golfer so my friend told me that interlocking grip was the right way and I was holding it wrong. I didn’t know at the time and for over a year was doing interlocking. Now switched back thank you.
Simple and clear instructions as always.
Unbelievable...... just went to the driving range after watching this video and realized I was holding my golf stick horrendously. I have never hit so many straight/straightish balls in my life. Amazing video thank you so much.
Nice reminder for quick review of proper grip. It helped me get bach to my fundamentals.
Absolutely great tip! Huge impact on my game. I was holding the club to deep in my palm, twisting it during the final motion and hitting way left of center or slicing. Hitting the ball much straighter now after changing the grip.
Watched many videos and this is the best explanation. Thank you.
Absolute gold Rick, expecting big score improvement after watching this mate thankyou 👍
Was told years ago to have both thumbs pointing inline on middle of grip, been forever hitting irons right & severely slicing driver...
90's here we come finally!!!
Who else is watching this at top golf? 😂😅
Me!💀
Omg!!!! Me!!!
Uhm no comment 😳
Does watching an hour before going count?
Me
after stumbling across this video I utilized these techniques some improvement in areas I needed. looking forward to trying more out.
fabulous video Rick - been watching your channel for a while and just came across this. Ive started pulling my irons, and after blaming my clubs (!) realised its more to do with my grip and controlling the club head. This is superb advice - Thanks!
Thanks Rick, you have changed my Golf and have inspired me and brought me to tour level can’t thank you enough. Keep up with the videos!
Rick,
Thank you for the tip :)
I've been playing for 30 years and it's never a bad time to review and refresh.
Your tip really helped me out
