Rick Shiels Golf Rick! Such a great job with these videos! Thank you so much for them! They are so well done too! Great graphics and icons! Very well produced!
Who won the contest
Hey Rick, can you do a video of HOW to do a video of our swing? I guess two cameras, any suggestions? How do we sync the two videos etc. Software suggestions. Thanks!
these videos actually help thanks
Rick Shiels Golf
Thank you Mr. Shiels
You may have read some of my post before.
I have had 9 knee surgeries including replacements.
I was at 1 time a low single digit handicap.
Power and around the green were my strengths and unfortunately GIR's were not and I had to scramble.
I could use my wedges up to about my 7 iron but it was my mid to long iron game that killed me.
Well my latest comeback it is my Tee box problems .
I have NO power, NO consistency, NO accuracy whatsoever.
It was because I focused so hard on my iron game that I have completely ignored my Driver and 5 Wood.
I respect and have learned from you and 2 other Pros on how to help my game and I am watching this series on the Driver .
1 question please, I have now modeled my swing based on Been Hogan's 5 Fundamentals, Can you point me to a golfing instructor on the internet or give me tips to get my midsection more flexible ?
At age 53 I can still bend over at the waist and put my hands on the floor but I'm sure you know the difference between being in shape and being in Golf Shape.
God Bless...Jason
insane that this is free. You deserve every one of your 1.5 million subscribers and more. Thank you so much!
A couple of ricks videos has changed my golf game for sure
Facts, literally a free golfing mentor
He really has great videos. Well edited, very interesting and great tips
Facts 💯
yes, these are all facts *insert 100 emoji here*
I’m a casual golfer who’s never been able to hit a driver - clunk it, push it, top it - this video changed everything. Just thinking about hitting up and keeping the back shoulder down has helped me so so much. Hitting 220 yard straight drives now. Thank you so much rick!!
One of my favorite things to do is hit a real worm burner off the 1st tee at my local course and skip it across the water. Beats the heck out of topping a dribbler into the drink . My son laughs at me majority of the time I’ll just hit an iron.
Wow! Awesome!
Here's what I do - perfect setup and backswing, then at 2 o'clock I realize that I'm superhuman and I swing REALLYI HARD and the ball skitters into the ladies tee area.
Haha 😂 same
Same I can’t help myself but to swing for the fences every single time
PERFECT!!! That exact technique helps me provide sooooo much entertainment! - love the post!
At least you’re consistent!
I have the same technique.
Every round, I’ll hit 2-4 drives 300 yards arrow-straight. The others? The woods are my favorite, but I also give some shout-outs to ladies’ tees, lakes, streams, fairways of other holes, and houses (the bigger the dog, the higher the chance my ball ends up in that yard).
😂😂😂😂
I've been playing for 15 years, and yet you have a way of explaining things that illuminate mysteries I have yet to solve. Brilliantly simple and clear explanations...thanks so much Rick!
I come back and watch these every couple of months as a refresher. I just started playing last year, and I've already broken 100. I shot my best score of 44 on nine last week. All of my improvement is thanks to your videos along with Finch's and Fryer's. So thank you.
Ahh thank you! Started golf almost 7 years ago and yet my driver is the most inconsistent thing ever. I’m in a class and I’m the worst there, so this has taught me more than my teachers have ever.
This guy makes quality content
@rick Sheils Golf I wanted to thank you I’ve been self taught and struggling with a right slice for a year. I watched 2 hours of your videos, fixed my grip and now I’ve improved so much I’ve had people accuse me of sandbagging them. Thank you so much!
I just recently resumed golfing after a 15 yr break while busy working n raising kids. I was shocked I could still hit my irons as well as I did but my driver n woods a complete different story
Ur videos in this series were a real help to me so thank u. At 50 I'm not hitting nearly the distance I was at 35 but it's comming back. I'm really enjoying my second age of golf and thanks again, ur a fantastic instructor
The only golf tutorials I watch. This guy has changed my game dramatically. I just wanna to shake his hand and thank him because comments just aren’t enough.
Rick, this video is so good. I was hitting balls at the rage with my driver and seriously struggling. Took a break, found your series and watched the set-up video. Paused to practice each piece of the set-up that you were showing. Watched it again once through to make sure I had it all and the change in my shot was dramatic. I was hitting 170-200 yards and straight as an arrow. No joke. Thanks for posting this series.
I had no training, never studied golf before. Played it regularly for approxiamtely a year before I decided to put some effort into getting better.
Before that point, I'd be lucky to hit a ball 160 to 180 yards on drives, and rarely straighr. Usually a slice.
I watched this video and put it into practice and I am now regularly driving 230 to 240 yards and straight, CONSISTENTLY!
I occasionally drive alot farther. Occasionally 280-290. The best part of this is it feels effortless when done right.
All from watching this video.
I am a 78 year old women and you have sure helped my golf!
Rick , a few weeks ago I asked you for tips to break 100 or 50 and I finally did it Sunday scoring a 48 ! Thanks 🙏
Gj man! How you doing to this date?
On 9 holes?
Christopher Natale do you honestly think if he shot a 48 for 18 holes he’d be watching these videos 😂😂
@@emmetwhitey lol
Emmet Doherty “break 100 or 50” obviously its 100 for 18 and 50 for 9. I know, reading comprehension is hard!
I have never once been able to hit my driver consistently straight or with long distance until I watched these videos. I’m now hitting more fairways than ever before thanks to you Rick. Needless to say I’m subscribed
Hello Rick, I have struggled with my driver since day one, after watching your video I have been amazingly consistent. Thank you so much!!!!
I definitely recommend it............
I watch a lot of golf videos on TH-cam. This series was the first to actually help my swing. I particularly like the tee up video and the impact one, as it gave the most vital information in my opinion. Getting the attack angle high is good and staying in that cylinder is key. Great video. I am killing driver now, and I love it.
Thank you so much. it's the most complete driver's lesson.
I have watched series of gold training short clips, i strongly believe this is the BEST, and, it has actually helped me swing better. I have problems with mt swing, most especially with one wood. Thank you for these clips. YOU ARE THE BEST.
Absolutely love this! These short videos are by far the best driver guide videos out there. So simple and easy to understand. There's no doubt they have helped me hit my drives better and more consistently. Once again, cheers Rick! 🏌🏼⛳️
Thanks so much Matty! Comments like this that make it so worthwhile!
Rick
No problem Rick, can't wait to watch new video's you release, including your course vlogs! Keep up the hard work. ⛳
Matt
Thank you sir. Best golf vlog on the planet. Was once a 9 handicap when able to play three times a week. I hit straight. Usually a 98% in play off the tee. Out of nowhere developed a bit if a slice still mostly in play but not down the middle. I started watching your vids a few months ago. Thank you again two quick easy fixes set up position of ball. And rolling my left had a bit to the right
Boom. Down the middle again.
Awesome. I play lots but never watch golf. I’m addicted to your channel.
My hand to the right not my head
So I don’t know if you’re gonna see this because this is an older video. But I’m a low 90s golfer who’s been playing off and on for about 30 years, and just inconsistent with my entire game. I may be hit 50% of my fairways with my driver and they are line drives. I watch this video and finally understood on how I set up to the ball. went out and played the next day and 90% of my drivers on the fairway with majestic height. This is not a joke. Unbelievably simple smart straightforward direction. Thank you so much Rick. on the irons
Hey Rick,
Great instructional information. Truly appreciate it.
This guide has really helped with my club head speed just by addressing my set up; jumped 6 mph in club head speed in one day! Thanks so much for your content. Plenty of other videos that you come out with have been a huge help to my golf game!
Thank you Rick Sheils😀🎶 I am a first year golfer. Took you advice and had a lesson with a pro. Then just when for it, Spent countless hours practicing and watching your videos. As I live in Wisconsin, the season is coming to the end. But my best driver this year was 274. Not bad for an old lady of 59+. Although secretly I wished I could pick this up when I was younger
Okay I have to leave a comment on this series. First of all, love the quality: great camera, love the 50 frames per second. The editing is top-notch with all the visual cues and textboxes. Lighting is great aswell.
The content itself is awesome. I changed my swing a lot, trying to achieve lower-single hcp, and it has caused serious problem with my driver backswing. This series has helped a TON. So a big thank you is in place. Cheers!
Hi Rick. I'm new to golf and wanted to say thanks for the content. your videos and presentation style are really clear & easy to understand for someone with no technical understanding of the game
This video made me fall in love with golf again.Started pushing & slicing out of nowhere.set up got lazy not enough tilt and was hitting down and left.after watching this and getting my set up on point I’m now hitting up and from inside.Back to high draw.Good work mate and cheers 👍
This was the first of your series that I have watched and I had to pause the video just to tell you how amazing the production, professionalism, and content of this series has amazed me. I have seen many of your videos over the years and always enjoyed your personality and subject matter but you have reached a whole other level with this series!!! Beside the fact that my irons are aces and my driver is abhorrent, I look forward to applying all the guidance from this guide and thank you for your dedication.
Thanks Rick. Having just started playing again after a break of many years, I've just watched your 5 sections on driving. I've always been reluctant to use the "big un" as it caused me so many problems and I couldn't keep the ball on the fairway. Your excellent presentation and easy to follow step guides has allowed me to follow each step without suffering from overload and encouraged me to begin using it again.
This is a very helpful group of videos. Comprehensive instruction. I had my first lesson a couple of weeks ago and haven’t had time to get back yet for some more. I went to the range tonight and didn’t do as well as I did during my lesson. I forgot a couple of key things in the set up and this really helped me to remember what my coach showed me. Thanks, I want to watch all your videos on driver and irons now to help boost my knowledge. Golf’s awesome 👏🏌️♂️
I’m a new golfer (6 mths and started at almost 60 years old) and I’ve begun struggling with my driver. The driver was the club I felt most comfortable with early on but I struggled to “find the ground” with my irons/woods and consistently topped the ball. I’m now “finding the ground” with my irons/woods but I’ve lost my driver swing as I seem to be hitting it now with a iron set up and have started hitting the ball straight and into the ground just in a short distance in front of me. VERY frustrating. I’m hoping working on this set of videos will help me return to my driver swing. THANK YOU!!!
The tip at 3:00 has changed my golf forever. Never been able to hit the driver well, always had a high slice, barely reaching 200 yards. But the tip about dropping the shoulder by placing your hand further down your leg is a game changer for me! Now I feel my swing arc is hitting up on the ball more than ever, whereas I must have been trying to create the loft with my wrists causing all sorts of horrible shots. My shots now are driving the ball forward rather than up, reaching 250+ yards straight drives easily! Thank you Rick!
This video really helped me. I recently got back into golf and I don't think I'd hit more than a handful of good driver shots in the 3 rounds I'd played. I viewed this the night before my last round and I was amazed at the results. Most of my drives were long and in the fairway. These videos are very much appreciated.
Rick, not only is the information very clear and helpful, but your video work is excellent. Great sound, camera work, graphics, and editing. Love listening to these videos. Thank you.
I’m pretty new to golf and was so relieved to find this channel. The delivery of the information is perfect. Some of the simple tips are totally on the money and have made me enjoy the game a whole lot more.
Wow this is literally so helpful.....been having problems with hitting my driver but this is worth it. thanks a lot
Thank you for this video. The right shoulder dip has been a game changer for my driver. I was always hitting low liners that barely made it 200 yards with a noticeable slice. With the right shoulder dip I'm in the 230-250 range consistently with a nice controlled fade. I wish I would have found this video sooner!
Haven’t played golf in 25+ years. Starting again.
I used to use a 2 iron and 3 iron. Was never better than a 15 cap, but played irons very well. I used to play entire courses with irons.
I simply never could hit a driver.
Well, watching this instructional video, I’ve started to hit the driver. Wish internet and Rick were around when I was falling in love with the game.
I can’t wait to crush a drive on the course. I’ve only been at the range building muscle memory and confidence before hacking up the courses.
These videos are gold.
You put it all into play for me. I not only get to watch what you’re doing but you explain it so perfectly. Thank you so much.
So much better than just stating, “do this and do that”.
I appreciate your time.
I really like how you emphasize the differences between the use of drivers and the use of irons. Too many instructors fail to do that, thereby leaving one to assume that it’s the same process for both. Thanks, Rick.
Great instructor and I subscribed. I am amateur golfer 2 years in now. I have finally got to the point of no slice! That was my biggest barrier. Thanks for all the great videos keep them coming.
Exactly the information I needed. I am brand new to golf. Spent last 2 days at Driving range trying to practice and get height and distance on my ball. Very good instructions! ❤️
this series is amazing. thank you so much for it. I don't think I've ever heard anyone explain this as clearly or thoroughly as you and it's been a detriment to my driver swing. thank you so much for this video series, I love it.
You have helped me no end, i was the type of driver who had the ball way outside my left foot, after watching this and doing what you do, i can now feel safe using my driver and not hit it like a muppet.
That room is honestly every golfers absolute dream!
Can’t wait to see all the videos which come from this!
First time playing in two years. watching the driving and golf swing videos totally made a difference. I really enjoyed myself thank you
Thanks Rick! I am from Argentina, 3 years taking classes and I could never fix my slice, today during the morning, watch your videos "The complete driver guide" then I went to the range and I was able to fix my slice! thank you!! PD: I speak English, but many people who play golf in Latin America do not, it would be great to have subtitles in your videos.
Rick, thanks so much for the videos you put out! I am back playing golf after a 12 year layoff and got a new driver, much larger club face. Was topping my driver pretty consistently. After watching this video and using your suggestion on tee height, my first drive on my next round was 285 yards to a 300 yard hole. Shot my first sub 90 round since I started back. Love your content, thanks again!!
Rick, your videos are super helpful and your instructions are straight to the point. Your cadence is perfect for instructional videos, and I love your passion for teaching everyone proper golf!
The absolute best Golf Instructor on TH-cam. Thanks for the tips Rick.
I decided to watch this video last night after really struggling with confidence driving the ball and going majorly right on the majority of my shots, my iron play is ok but driving costs me lots of shots, I took up golf only end of last summer and it turns out all along I’ve been setting up well wrong, went to the range for a practice today setting up my stance and foot correctly and I’m now pinging the majority of them further and a lot straighter, thank you for the video rick, I intend on watching a lot more of your content it’s amazing what you can pick up! Feel like I’ll definitely knock a few shots off my round going forward :)
I was having great difficulty with my driver and I was hitting down on it like an iron
The most helpful part was the down swing keeping the body behind the golf ball and that tilted position and not bowing my wrists and creating club head lag in the driver as you do with the irons ..
Massive difference I was doing at completely wrong this video has really helped thanks Rick shiels .. the man !! Cheers ..Paul
Thank you for this great video. Already took the lessons to the range and saw marked improvement in ball flight, strike location, and distance. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Well Done Mr. Shiels.
watched video yesterday, had a tee time the next day. Could never hit the driver over 200 yards. But now hitting over 250+ yards, the longest being 280 yards, Amazed by this video. It really is the best one out there. Thank You so much Rick. My friends couldn't believe it. LOL
I haven't attempted to hit a driver (or any wood) since 1991. Just couldn't hit them, and have been fine since the local pro introduced me to 1 and 2 irons...
I recently picked up a cheap driver simply to have some driving range laughs. (Can't pass up a £40 ping G20)
Checked out this video series for a quick idea on what to do, before heading to the driving range.
Pulled it out for the last 30 balls. Holy cow, it was fun! And with just this instructional I was firing decent cannons off the tees, that were far better than I ever hit all those years ago... I may have more control with my 1 and 2 irons, but I think you've managed to do what 5 other pro's couldn't!!
Thanks, Rick!!
I watched driver series at the gym. Played the next day and completely changed my game off the tee. Thank you!
Hey Rick! Your production staff gets props they do an amazing job I’ve been watching you for 2 months and practicing in the yard the golf course just opened this weekend since corona now I’m anxious to utilize the tools I’ve learned. Keep making these videos there great.
This was an awesome help guide I've watched several videos on how to help with my slicing and none of them worked but this guide instantly helped me with my slice issue I've never been so happy before to hit the ball so straight with a slight fade now
The grips on one of your video. Game changer!! Thank You.
Your a great teacher Rick, I'm new to the world of golf and I'm learning so much from you and becoming more confident and a better player.
Another great and simple video rick, you explain it perfectly well for people to understand, I’ve took many of your tips especially with the driver as I’ve been struggling with it in the last year, but recently I’ve seen improvements because of watching your videos:) keep it up rick👍🏻
The distance from the ball at setup has always been a problem for me when hitting a driver but using the screenshot you suggested has fixed most of my driver problems. I've been hitting longer and straighter drives for the last month than I ever did before. Great tutorials as always. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Rick! I recently got a new driver and couldn’t figure out why I developed a pretty big fade/slice. This is very helpful!
Rick... your videos are EXCELLENT!!! I have backed away from golf for 10 years and the equipment changes and 10 years on me... I was swinging like I was re-learning.... I watch your channel every evening for 35 minutes and your tips are awesome I started the year as a 19 handicap and I am down to a 16 I absolutley LOVE your channel and your personality Cheers and THANK YOU
I'm a new golfer and this is hands down the most educational video I've watched so far!!!!!
Do you have a iron, chipping and putting one too?
Just want to say thank you for all the videos in the past season you’ve helped me realize how to control my shot, lowered my PR 90 so we getting there
I've been watching this channel and Experior golf for the past 7 months... Finally got my first set of golf clubs off of callaway preowned and excited to try the game for myself!
One of the best instructional videos out there for this shot.....however.....I must be some kind of freak as I use a 4 inch tee and set my driver almost 2 club heads behind the ball. Left big toe opposite ball. Very consistent strikes after trial and error with 30 balls on the range - just need the confidence to do it. Works for me! Love the course vlogs Rick.
Just started golfing yesterday and these videos were just what I needed, thank you very much for these videos
Im one of your million followers.. A newby like me needs mr. Rick shiels style..
Got out of sorts on my driver and was going nuts. Your video got me on track again. Great for any skill level.
Just starting playing again after a 15yr gap. Never had any lessons and these videos are brilliant. Thank you.
Hi Rick. So so thankful with this tips on setup. I was struggling recently with my driver and was really frustrated. After watching your video I immediately drive to a driving range and follow exactly what you have thought us here. My driver swing improved tremendously and was so consistent. I am so so happy now. Setup is there I lacked. Thank you so so much Rick.
Rick you are the best Golf thing on TH-cam. This is great.
Thank you Rick for your help! Your channel is very comprehensive and entertaining. You do bring the love you obviously have for the game right into your interaction with us and your playing partners and competitors.
Also outstanding professionalism!
Hey, thanks for the vid. Played a week ago and couldn't get a tee shot up in the air to save my life. Went to the range today and just the few adjustments made from watching this vid made a big difference. Thanks!
I’ve played very little, roughly 6-8 times or so. I’ve learned so much from your videos though. Had no idea you weren’t supposed to stand the same way AND the swing is different. Thank you.
Tried this and it straightened out my drive! Excellent advice!
Thanks Rick ;I respect and admire your teaching and playing ability ! Another quality video from you helping us golfers have a better chance of hitting the driver practicing initial fundamentals setup 1st. All your videos are an inspiration to try and re try practice and give yourself the best chance no matter the level.
I know you said teeing the ball height slightly above the crown of driver and depends on type of driver using but with these 460 cc new drivers would getting basically a 3 1/4" tee be a good size as I do not want to get so under the ball and sky mark my new driver on the top.
I have 2-3/4" tees now but tee them as high as I can with very little push in the ground just enough to support the ball below the ball equator.I am struggling with the dreaded left duck hook and trying to hit up on my driver;as I tend to hit level or slightly down on it even know I try and try-- Thanks DeX
One of my pals told me to get amongst you’re channel... with his tips and you’re video, my driving has improved. Just by tweeting the little things. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 TVM LEGEND
I have been watching this series of video over and over again. I just love it!! Thanks for awesome video lesson, Rick!!
Absolutely love the video. Went straight away and out it to use. Amazing results !
Awesome Explaination. This advice with the right shoulder is gold for me. thanks a lot
This set of videos, lessons, have helped me the most…thank you! By the way, noticed that in this video, set up and tee height, you are using a Taylormade golf ball, when and why did you switch to the ProV1.
Great, simple advice as always from Rick. I am now realizing a couple of setup things I’ve been doing incorrectly but I didn’t really know it.
This saved me big time! I play a lot of golf. I always fight ball position with the driver.. it creeps further back so slightly & slowly it’s hard to notice. Every year or so I have to go back to the start. Now I’m bombing it like I should! Thanks Mr. Rick!! Liked & subscribed sir
I wish I saw this video yesterday before I went to the driving range. My driver is terrible. Irons are much better. I can’t wait to try these tips to improve my driver
THIS VIDEO HELPED ME SO SO MUCH, thank you Rick! I'm that guy that has struggled with the driver forever and it has ruined my fun and confidence. 100 Balls on the range today practicing this and I was hitting shots the most consistently with the big stick in forever. Game changer. Subbed!
Rick - Many thanks for the tips. Especially the tip on the upper body positioning. It worked for me. I was consistently driving the ball straighter today.. Cheers and keep up the good work!!
Appreciate the content! As a newbie I never knew where to place my feet and couldn’t never be consistent playing 18. But that totally changed. Thanks!
I don’t even play any more but your videos are amazing and enjoyable to watch 👍
I had an instructor tell me this years ago and it changed my game. Easily took 18 strokes off. Amazing you're giving this out, thanks!!!
This is video is awesome love the attention to detail he really covers everything.
This video helped my consistency with the driver tremendously. Went from a slice to a baby fade. 👌🏾
Thanks so much for these videos this season I solved my lifetime slice with your 3 stage process to stop slicing and my chipping is completely turned around with your wedge video.i shot an 89 today first time in 25 years I'm under 90 .I'm 57 years old
New subscriber and a high handicapper,I really have the bug and love your videos,cheers for all the effort you put in 👍🏻
Rick, these videos have fixed my driving and I have dropped my normal scores by 8 shots a round on average. I had the ball too near the middle trying to control it but it had the wrong outcome. Thanks for this.
Thanks Rick, everything you demonstrate seems obvious once you’ve explained it in your easy to understand manner and transfers easily to the golf course 👍
