    Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This TH-cam channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
    I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
    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!

    A pal of mine had a week of lessons from James a couple of weeks ago. My pal's a grumpy sod without a good word to say about anyone, but he was gushing about James, both as a bloke and as a teacher! I always love the content that Rick and James do together. Just two decent humans who happen to be playing golf.

      This comment is the only reason I finished watching. I agree that it was a good explanation.
      My initial reaction was that it’s a waste of time to tell me what driver shots I should have when my only focus is getting it in play.

    Hey man, I just should let you know about a year ago my friends all were pretty experienced at golf, and I was feeling like I should start learning. I watched one of your basic videos and developed good, self-taught mechanics over the past year, and just now shot a solo 86 against my friends in a 3v1. Thank you so much for helping me develop my golf experience from day one!!!!!

    @GralphW 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Truly wondrous to see shots executed precisely as nominated! Most of us can do similarly, nominating the shot shape AFTER we hit it😂 I was told to aim the club where you want the ball to finish, the body & feet on the line you want it to start then simply swing on plane. Same principle as James demonstrated. Love to see a 9 ball drill demo next!

  • @jwestphal1978
    @jwestphal1978 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Need a classic match with James, yourself, Fryer, and, Finch! This is absolutely the best advice! Even for the fella, or fellete, that doesn't understand why they fade every shot, or they pull every shot. Alignment is key! It is one of the secrets to every thing. This is just the very thing EVERY golfer should be considering on every shot every time.

  • @GCag
    @GCag หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great team work in explaining the process of hitting different shots, in easy to understand jargon. Often times, I feel like some of these well meaning PGA instructors on TH-cam are speaking a different language when explaining things. Some just make it so technical that I immediately turn their videos off and come back here to Rick Shields' channel. Keep up the great, easy to understand content.

  • @BenjaminKnipe

    Rick, I just watched your video with stacked golf from a year ago. Somehow I missed it when it first came out because I subscribed to yours and their channels at the time. What an incredible experience to get to watch you interact with John and Ashley. I really enjoy your videos and since I am a senior, 76 years old with a recent knee replacement and a mild stroke from 3 years ago I struggle to play but I still love to play this crazy game. I hope that someday you might find yourself in Arizona. If you do I hope I am so lucky to get to see you.

    Very well explained. I struggle with anything other that a straight - ish drive. My fade is more like a slice and never been able to draw the ball even with my rogue set up for a draw. I'm definitely going to have a go at this and master it before I'm too old for it to matter! 👏👏

  • @titaniumhen
    @titaniumhen 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I needed this! Thank you.
    I have an issue of lifting my body up as I go into my back swing. Then it is hard for me to get back to my set position, and I top the ball or hit down on the ball.
    I need to lower my right shoulder, shift some body weight to the left (Front) foot. Seeing this video, I need to move the ball forward in my stance and align my club a few inches behind the ball to catch it on the upswing.
    I don't mind having my small fade, I just want to get the ball in the air.
    I will try the alignment and the 85% swing.
    I will try this tomorrow.

    Assuming he is at 9° or 8.5° on the driver head ? Would his approach be diff if was at 10.5° ? Would he put his tee, higher or lower depending on which loft he is playing ?
    Just wondering what his approach is ?

  • @sLaShArChAnGeL
    @sLaShArChAnGeL 29 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Well now i know what I am doing wrong. I over exagerate all my movements and alignment when shaping different shots. James adjustments are much smaller . This is why I can go from block slice to pull hook in 2 tee shots. Must give this a try.

  • @trystandavies2469
    @trystandavies2469 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

    For your average golfer the fairway finder makes zero sense to me. Surely if you tee it lower it’ll make you want to hit down on the ball more? Plus I thought increased spin would make the chance of hitting it left or right higher and more wayward? How does more spin make the ball straighter? Weird one for me that and just bad advice
