Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This KZfaq 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.

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!

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!!!!!

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.

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 KZfaq 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.

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.
@titaniumhen 15 күн бұрын
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.

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

Am I understanding that diagram correctly? At 2:53 the feet are aiming right of the target which makes sense to me, but his club is also right of the target to hit a draw? That seems like it should be the opposite?
@kevinfay4062 18 күн бұрын
It's not as open as his stance (Rick mentioned the clubface set at 12:02 and James's feet to 12:05). Since the clubface is (relatively) closed to the swing path it will promote the draw. If the clubface is too closed, it creates the risk of a hook.
@stevenholderby6354 18 күн бұрын
If you want it to start from the right to go left, the face needs to be pointed to the right. You wouldn't want it starting out to the left, then going more left.

@@kevinfay4062 Thanks for that. I always set my club at the target and then my feet right tof that to hit a draw. But it makes more sense to aim the clubface slightly right to give yourself some buffer too. I tend to overshoot it left when I try and hit a draw
