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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
@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'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!
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.
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).
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.
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.
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
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
I drive 240-250 normally with an awful stance and set up. This video has helped me correct the god awful stance and setup. I won’t lie it’s taken awhile to get use to as it feels so abnormal. But now I’m etching to the 280’s. So I thank you!
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.
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.
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
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 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
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!
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.
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! 🏌🏼⛳️
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.
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.
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.
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!
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............
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
Wow Rick I know you won’t see this, been watching for a while casually as I find golf interesting I decided to go down to the driving range with my dads clubs and I could hit my driver to save my life, I watched this video before I left for the range today and I found I could comfortably hit 200 yards with the driver
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
Great videos making my game so much better. Do you have a vid on how to hit the ball thats above your feet but your stance on a downward slope cheers keep up the great work
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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 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!
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!!
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 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 :)
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!!
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 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 👏🏌️♂️
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 👍
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👍🏻
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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!
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!

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

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).

No problem Rick, can't wait to watch new video's you release, including your course vlogs! Keep up the hard work. ⛳

Hey Rick,
Great instructional information. Truly appreciate it.

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.

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.
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.
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?
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!
Hello Rick, I have struggled with my driver since day one, after watching your video I have been amazingly consistent. Thank you so much!!!!

Wow this is literally so helpful.....been having problems with hitting my driver but this is worth it. thanks a lot
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!
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.
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.
Absolutely love the video. Went straight away and out it to use. Amazing results !
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.
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
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.
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!
This is video is awesome love the attention to detail he really covers everything.
Great videos making my game so much better. Do you have a vid on how to hit the ball thats above your feet but your stance on a downward slope cheers keep up the great work
Rick you are the best Golf thing on TH-cam. This is great.
First time playing in two years. watching the driving and golf swing videos totally made a difference. I really enjoyed myself thank you
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.
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!
Thanks Rick. Great video, well put across... now I know what I'm doing wrong !
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
The grips on one of your video. Game changer!! Thank You.
New subscriber and a high handicapper,I really have the bug and love your videos,cheers for all the effort you put in 👍🏻
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
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
Just did the setup and hit the best drive of my life.
Excellent video. Very professionally produced and a joy to watch. Thank you for posting this...
I watched driver series at the gym. Played the next day and completely changed my game off the tee. Thank you!
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!
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!!
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 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 :)
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!!
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 is so good such a good lesson, i did exactly what he said but i was still shite...
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 👏🏌️♂️
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 👍
Just got a driver and i cant wait to try your tips! thx
Great course,loved Bryson’s thought processes, well done Rick great content 🎉
I have been watching this series of video over and over again. I just love it!! Thanks for awesome video lesson, Rick!!
as someone who can hit all my irons well, but struggle with my driver....just want to say thank you
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👍🏻
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!!!
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.
Great Review Rick! Love the look of this driver
Thank you great video for getting back to basics.
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
Such a big fan of Rick’s videos.
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.
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.
Rick, thanks for all the good videos. Spot on! They help me so much. Please keep it up.
Thank you so much this video explains so much and taught me how to properly hit that driver really appreciate it.
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!
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 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!
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!
Just starting playing again after a 15yr gap. Never had any lessons and these videos are brilliant. Thank you.
