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

if people legitimately practice this they will truly realize how important these three basics are. but you have to build the consistency with practice and play. another huge thing I discovered that helps with this is focusing on one specific dimple on the top of the ball 2-3 rows towards your clubface. if you can stay focus on that one dimple your entire swing you will make better contact. hope this helps! high school golfer been playing 16 years! edit: I am almost 30 lol I am not a 16 year old who has been playing since I was born hahahaha

This takes me back to my swing lessons. I was taught to put my irons in slightly different spots in my stance than you do, but I also don't have fitted clubs either so finding the effective angles is a bit less natural. That part of it goes hand in hand with distance from the ball too. Swing coaching really helped me. Not just with my swing but my attitude too. Golfers are waaaay cockier than we tend to think we are. I went in thinking I knew the general issues with my swing but I wasn't even close. Had to do a lot of rebuilding and lost a lot of distance in the first month or so, but since then I've shot my 2 best scores (a 2-over 9-hole round with 2 birdies last summer, and a 10-over 18-hole round with 6 one-putts and a hole-out birdie 2 weeks ago; and my handicap is 21). I also noticed a huge difference between safe swings and risky swings. Wedges and mid-irons I'll usually club up and stay safe unless I need the spin, and I almost never hit driver at full swing. Once in a while on a long par 3 you just need to pure the loftiest club you can to make it stick, but that type of shot shouldn't be most people's first choice in normal situations if at all possible. No need to choose a gap wedge over a pitching wedge from 130yds solely for ego.

Need this as confirmation. I’m always striving for that “moving forward motion”. Can only achieve it if I pause for a second. Which has helped so much.

Rick, I love these kind of videos because they deal with things one can do before they swing the club. For myself, the swing is often just a blur that either works or it doesn't. I can't think about the swing during the actual swing or I'm doomed to hit a bad shot. But these tips can be incorporated consistently and are easily practiced and applied. Well done.

i really hope you read this Mr. Shiels. I am 59 & golfed before covid 2 times / year starting at about 48 at company tourneys. Then covid hit and i did not play at all. a month ago (after retiring) I decided to buy my own clubs and give this game a try, I have gone out 3 times in the last month (mid June 2023 to now) and bashed it around on an executive par 3. then i watched this video this aftertoon (repeat THIS afternoon) and went to the driving range. I was hitting steady 3 irons up to 6 irons 125 to 150 yards straight as an arrow consistently. No BS. I could not believe it. I got a Jumbo bucket and about half way thru started to get tired and then started to shank them etc. But at the peak, i was straight on. I just finished watching your grip position video and cant wait to get to the range and back to the executive par 3 9 hole (longest hole is 200 yards).
