Pls don't tell me you're really that dumb. He's out there in the pouring rain because he's trying to make money. TH-cam is his source of income. He ain't running a charity you muppet 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
So there I was finding myself hitting behind the ball. I watched this video, focused on not moving to the right in my backswing, and wow what a difference! I had much better contact, and I even had a birdie! Definitely one of my better games in awhile. Thank you so much!
Rick I have said this before I have watched so many different people doing self help golf videos on TH-cam. However nobody in my opinion does it like you. I understand what your saying you keep things simple I just want to say I appreciate what you do and will keep watching and telling my friends all about you. Thank you
I'm going to try your tips because I'm hitting behind the ball constantly. I'm 88 and don't wind up too easily. I also tend to use my hands more than turning through with my body or shoulders. I'm going to try your method and see what happens because I can't make my approach shots anymore and that's killing my game. Nothing more frustrating than when you're right in front of the green and hit the ball fat by hitting the ground first. Thank you.
Older video but absolutely the best explanation of the problem and solutions to resolve it that I have seen. Rick is an excellent communicator as well as a talented golfer. Love his videos!
Another thing that can help here…was an issue with my son who is learning, he was hitting behind the ball a ton. I had shown him how to turn through the ball, not swaying in backswing, trying to make divot after contacting the ball, etc…like all the stuff you said here. But what helped him was this. He wasn’t getting his hands through the ball in the downswing…his body was rotating faster than his hands were coming through the ball, so he was hitting the ground and also using contacting the ball with a very open face. The open face wasn’t because he had rolled his wrists in the backswing, he knows not to do that. So I got him to work on his timing better and really try to get his hands coming through the hitting zone quicker, so that it was more in sync with the rest of his body. Worked wonders for him almost immediately. Obviously all the things in this video are critical, but this is just another tool you can use if the others aren’t working. Also, you have to be careful because having the hands get too fast in the downswing can then cause pulls/closed clubhead at impact. But everyone visualizes or feels a swing a little differently…especially kids who are just learning. This particular one way of thinking about the swing helped with a problem that had really frustrated my son (and me since none of the other drills seemed to help).
Rick. You are a life saver. Thanks very much. Your videos are always great and intuitive. Just tried these drills and i was immediately striking the ball more consistently and cleaner....thank you again.
This video was a huge help for me. The beginning about staying centered really hit home. Before watching this, my backswing had me coming off the ball. I would feel my weight all over my back foot. Wahla! Staying centered, I now just felt my weight shifting to my back heel. Not the whole back foot. In the past I always heard about pressing the back heel into the ground but could never do it. Now I can. In regards to the towel drill, I tried it in the past and always hit the towel. So frustrating! Not anymore! Your edited piece about keeping the club handle forward and not flipping was good also. I would hold my right hand angle creating lag to hit the ball first and then the ground. I’m making so much better contact now, even with my fairway woods using your advice. Thanks for your help.
Thank you Rick!!! I had MASSIVE issues hitting behind the ball and was getting so frustrated trying to find out why … your video solved it!! I was not staying centered… so simple… thank you!!
Rick, I started playing golf in October after retiring and moving to Arizona. Let me say that after trying to play without training waa a bad idea and I was about to give it up. That was before I watched a few of your videos. I shot an 85 yesterday. Thank you.
Good stuff Rick. I've been watching you and Peter's videos as I get ready to get back into golf after a 15 year time away from the game. These videos are helping to remind me how it's done. Thanks
Rick, iron play used to be by far the worst part of my game. After watching a few of your videos I have all but ditched hybrids and now hit with far more confidence and accuracy with my irons!
Rick. Just been up the range with this in mind and some foot spray. After 40 mins of this and over Emphasize everything, the last 5 shots was in the middle of the 7 iron and about 1meter around the 160 yards. Keep the videos coming. ⛳🏌️♂️
Thank you again Rick. Just wanted to say I appreciate you and everything you do the golf world. I haven't been playing long,but you helped me fall in love with it. You are passionate and great at teaching. You are the best Sir. Thank you
Just came back from the driving range after watching this and the 'improve your golf' driving range vid. Drill 3 worked like magic. Thanks Rick, keep flying that northern flag you legend.
Your simple tip 3 of placing the ball a couple of inches forward of ‘normal’ has transformed my weight shift and distance. It is without doubt the best tip I have ever had. Thanks.
Well Rick, after 14 years of using the same old Callaway Driver i’ve finally retired her and brought in my new love......the Cobra F9!! I’ve watched your videos and listened to all you’ve said about it and took the plunge on Saturday. I used it for the first time on Sunday shooting +7 for 16 holes. It wasn’t really until the 9th when i realised just how much yardage i’d been losing with the old Callaway! Thanks Rick for the recommendation!!
So glad to see this video Rick. For the last few months I have adopted "looking 2-3 inches in front of the ball " which has helped me so much in achieving good ball contact most times. Never seen anyone else propose this idea on You Tube. Thanks a bunch. Keep Safe.
Class.. thx Rick.. in one of the "older" videos "rotating around the left side" really changed everything for me... i used to focus on the shaft lean at impact, but ended up with an open clubface at impact push slicing the hell out of it.. now since i "rotate" around my left side i understood how to get to proper impact position... the feedback i use now is: when i hook it, i didnt rotate "quickly" enough into my left.. the next swing mostly is already much better then.. you vids really help me 👍
Being a beginner, this is exactly what i've been practicing, albeit in the back garden, in an effort to hit the the ball cleaner and more consistent, especially driving the hips through and forward, facing the target, just at impact. And now I'm back on the course, it's working well for me, and these drills will help me maintain that consistency and timing, nice one. Please continue with more coaching tips, or dedicate a particular day to it, like 'Ricks Tip Thursday', or something like that, cheers 👌
@@RickShielsPGA I'm such a fat tub of shit by now, I'm not sure if I can even walk 9 holes without a nap. I feel like I've had a fucking baby and let myself go.
only came across this video recently, it has helped me so much, without realising i was moving backward during my back swing and creating so much inconsistency in terms of where the bottom of my swing was. thank you
So glad you added that snip about the hands at impact. This changed my game a few weeks ago and its surprising how many videos about iron strikes neglect to mention this crucial factor. This may help someone else and that was for me another game changer, starting my downswing with my arms. Thats not to say your body moves after the natural motion from your arms but just to start the sequence with the movement of your arms. Admittedly this may not work for everyone but if you had a slice like me it made a huge difference to my swing and strike by ensuring an in to out path.
That first tip saved my game today. Been having such a problem hitting the ball the last couple years. Shooting 90s. Shot a 80 today and would of been better if I could putt. But hit the ball so well with that tip.
This video has given me a lot to think about. I just spent a couple minutes working on my swing before work and forcing my wrists to get slightly ahead of the club head made my body start pushing up me up onto the ball of my left foot. Lately I have been struggling with chunking everything and I have never been able to get up at the end of my swing. Can't wait for the rain to clear up so I can go to the range and try this again.
I have been playing golf for 45 years. The best I have scored is low 80s, but that was long ago. Thank you, Rick, for reinvigorating and refining my game. I have been watching your videos and practicing a couple times a week since January. Your way of explaining things connect with me. I broke 90 the last couple times and see a vast improvement in my game, thanks to your tips. Keep up what you are doing and I will continue watching and referring my friends. Thank you once again! Golf is a lot more fun when you play better.
Hi Rick, I am really beginning to understand what I’m doing wrong on my golf swings. Your videos are helping me to correct my lifelong mistakes. So easy to understand and apply! Thank you.
Hi Rick That has ALWAYS been my problem. Hitting the ground first. I will be trying that at the driving range next week for sure! If I can remember I will be back with an update. Love these three drills! I also loved the way you interrupted the video to add more explanation on the hand position! Stay Safe!
Cracking job again Rick. I got new irons (first time I ever got fitted too), but needed a couple of weeks to get used to them the way I was with my first and only 7 year old set. These drills will go along way to hitting it pure!
I think this is one of the most confusing concepts to explain to a golfer and this video does a great job of it. Every golfer has heard since they picked up a club "shift your weight back and through". That clearly makes someone think of a swaying motion. It's really difficult to explain a weight shift in a rotational sense. A lot of the traditional golf teaching soundbites are like this, actually encouraging a bad motion.
Great video Rick! Please, would you do the same vidoo, but ,,how to stop hitting the ground behind fairway wood?,, This is my the most biggest problem in game.. thank you!
All three are great for better ball striking but I agree with you the chase the ball tip is number one, I tried it on the course by looking at the front of the ball on the downswing and even that alone was getting good results, top work fella.
Hi Rick just come into lock down ,set up a net to practice in my garage bought accu strike mat it shows me l am hitting ground 3inches behind ball took your advice it has helped a lot thanks mate Bas
Rick I just wanted to say the "Chase the ball" drill literally changed my game. I was always told that I have a nice swing but at times I get too steep and subsequently hit it fat. I have improved my iron striking GREATLY since incorporating this simple drill during my pre-round range session.
Thanks for this Rick. I last went on the 13th May after a very long time away and could honestly not hardly get the ball of the ground. Watched this vid yesterday and been for my second round this year today and honestly the difference was night and day. I just kept telling myself: keep the sternum over the ball, done sway and rotate around that left leg. Don’t know what my score was as I wasn’t counting, but honestly my consistency with ball striking felt surreal and watching the ball fly off into the distance was mega.
I watch your videos while I'm on the course and look up different tips depending on what situation I'm in. Very helpful. Your videos have helped me become a better golfer.
Great simple video Rick. During lockdown I was working on my golf swing in the garden (air shots) focussing on feeling my weight on the right foot, trying not to come out of it too soon. Suddenly I’ve noticed I’m hitting a lot of my iron shots way behind the ball. Your video has nailed it.
These are my most practiced drills. Thanks for putting them in a video together. I really do watch yours videos before hitting the range. Keep them coming Rick.
Rick...just seen a ad on gumtree for some Bentley irons....they say the MRP is £12,000!!!!!! Have you ever heard that Bentley do irons?? An more to the point....ever tested any???🤔 your the man to know. Awesome content again sir🙌🏼❤️
This is perfect, I have struggle with shifting my weight properly, I felt like I was sliding my hips to the right in my back swing. Instead I will stay centered in my back swing and shift my weight to the left when I swing through. This answers my issue, thank you Rick.
The third drill to me is the best. That's what I practice most often. When on the golf course i try to keep my vision on the far left of the ball (right handed) of the ball instead of looking at my clubhead. Looking at that spot is where I'm trying to strike it; then low and into the ground. Thank you though Rick. Just watching the third drill repetitively helps me to burn it deeper into the thought process
This is the content that made me fall in love with your channel from the very beginning. It’s makes us mid-high handicappers get just a little better. Thank you!
Needed this last weekend. First time I'd played in a while and I was fatting my wedges. My girlfriend was riding with me and kept asking why I was hitting behind the ball. "I don't know, honey. I'm trying to figure it out." She just watched the video with me and said it was the first one. Thanks Rick. You just turned my girlfriend into a golf coach. 😂😂😂

Thank Rick for giving us those tips dispite the rain, appreciate it.👍
Love it. Thanks Rick
The fact that Rick is out here in the pouring rain grinding out videos just shows the amount of love for us. Thats a like and follow if I say so.

agreed!
Thank you for taking the time of making these videos. I am going to take what you taught here and go to the driving range after dinner

6:07 I keep on shanking it. What am I doing wrong
thanks Rick! I will try the towel drill, it looks like a good one.
Love this, especially the third drill.
It’s the best drill ever
Hows Stefan ?
These tips are gold 👍🏻
I won two sleeves recently, a couple of games later I still have the same ball and agree it’s a good ball to line up.
Great tips...that 3rd drill is likely a game changer.
Thank you!

is this the same for hitting driver? I mean should you keep your weight centered and then move to the left? thanks

My buddy when I first started playing told me about that 3rd drill. Completely changed my game!! Great video.
The third drill to me is the best. That's what I practice most often. When on the golf course i try to keep my vision on the far left of the ball (right handed) of the ball instead of looking at my clubhead. Looking at that spot is where I'm trying to strike it; then low and into the ground. Thank you though Rick. Just watching the third drill repetitively helps me to burn it deeper into the thought process
This is the content that made me fall in love with your channel from the very beginning. It’s makes us mid-high handicappers get just a little better. Thank you!
Man I learn more from your channels than I do from my instructor. I'm new to golf and love your channel! Keep em coming please!
Needed this last weekend. First time I'd played in a while and I was fatting my wedges. My girlfriend was riding with me and kept asking why I was hitting behind the ball. "I don't know, honey. I'm trying to figure it out." She just watched the video with me and said it was the first one. Thanks Rick. You just turned my girlfriend into a golf coach. 😂😂😂
First problem is playing golf with your girlfriend
