    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!
    On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
    If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

  • @bzomeful
    @bzomeful ปีที่แล้ว +16

    I think this shows how important it is to be able to drive/go off the tees consistently and why so many high handicappers struggle. You're basically fighting an uphill battle from the first stroke and you can never get in a good position to actually attack. It also messes with you mentally. Like in the front 9, Rick actually hit a bunch of really nice shots onto the green with his irons but there was no momentum because the bad tee shots before muted everything.

    Absolutely fair play for some of the courses you've played in this "US Tour Leg" of Break 75. It's one of my favourite series on any channel, never mind TH-cam because you bare your soul! You've taken on some of the most difficult tracks in world golf, and filmed yourself and your thoughts during every single shot. All courses must find this relatable. Unlike professional coverage where we never really hear the players' or caddies' thoughts. Having played in Conwy - the location of one of your most infamous BreaK 75s - it would be a pleasure if you could ever pop over the water and play Maesdu Golf Club. It's certainly not Bay Hill but is rated harder than Conwy (which I'm not convinced about). Anyway, thanks once again for being brave enough to do these, as well as upping the production value as the channel grows. I rarely watch golf unless it's the majors but watch nearly of these, as well as Good Good etc because they relatable, friendly, fun and - at times - excruciating. Your comeback after that first chip in the video above is superb. I'd have dug a big hole in one of the thousands of bunkers and cringed myself to death.
    Looking forward to your return for the early season trek around the toughest courses in the UK! Where is the rough is a lot more forgiving!

      Just put a sticker on his current driver head that says, "The problem is on the other end of the shaft." His swing is total $h1t lately, and no new club is going to fix it. It's a shame because I love his videos and the courses he plays, but lately he has become absolutely cringeworthy. He needs to change to a Break 85 series.

    Just for a bit of context, I'm a 9.5 HDCP and when I played Bay Hill the first time, it was the Tuesday after Bryson's win and I was a 6.7 HDCP at the time. I shot 93. The rough is so difficult in that condition to even find your ball. Let alone hit out of it.
    Played 2 more times since then in tourney conditions. 95 & 98 respectively.

    PS: I know you have your rhythm and I know you're (deep down) a good player and great coach, but......I can't help thinking that your swing is getting faster and more frenzied at times, especially in transition.
