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.

@Virusruneblazer 2 жыл бұрын

I've always struggled with a slice despite shooting in the 80s consistently. The tip about swinging more inside to outside has been a complete game-changer for me. Seems to have basically cured my slice. The inside-out swing path feels like you're hitting the ball to the right with a more open face, but you actually hit it dead straight with the right grip. Insane mental hurdle to get over after years of swinging outside to inside, thanks Rick!

Such an easy thing to strengthen the grip but made a massive difference to my drives and lowered my score by about 10!

These type of videos have had such a massive impact and I can’t thank you enough.

I've struggled for some time with slices, worst with the longer clubs.

Took these to the range (along with some other videos from Rick), best range session I think I've ever had. I was way more consistent with ball flight. Realised my grip / stance needed adjusting. I was way to close and not square on. Having a consistent target (use club as direction) and then place a club 90 degrees to this (creating a T shape). This helped making sure I was aligned correctly

Hey man I really love your videos. Just found you 2 weeks ago. One thing I really like is your ability to explain everything clearly and to the point. After just watching your grip and drive video and three days at the range saying my drive improved is an understatement. I'm crushing balls straight using everything you explained and I catch myself laughing at how frustrating and angry I'd get at slicing my drive or hitting it everywhere else but down the fairway. Sorry for the ramble just wanted to express that your 10 min videos helped me more then all the money I spent on private lessons. I'm now a solid fan and look forward to your content. Short and sweet and explained with simplicity. If your ever in Wisconsin let's hit 18 sometime!

@daviddeck9693 3 жыл бұрын

I have been playing awful fighting the dreaded slice specifically with the driver. I watched this video last night and took the stronger grip to the course with me today. The change was dramatic as it cured the right leaky shots and gained 10-15 yards to my drive. It was very easy to implement and it definitely works. The driver impact is now center/toe where previously more shots in the heel. The grip change also helped me with the iron play. I was nervous to implement a major change on the course, but was so frustrated with previous swing. Thanks Rick for your instructional videos. I actually had fun playing golf today!

@nevillehubbard7347 3 жыл бұрын

Having watched this video on Wednesday evening, and having "faded" the ball for most of the last 52 years, I put this teaching into practice yesterday. I was amazed how well it worked!!! Within the space of a few holes my game was transformed. I'd heard a lot of what you said before but never the bit about radically altering your grip, particularly the right hand! So thanks Rick, this works really well for me. You've succeeded where a number of pro's, and any number of lessons, have previously failed!!!

Well Rick, I stumbled upon your videos a couple of weeks ago. I've always had a terrible slice and quit the game about 4 years ago. I picked it back up this year in anticipation of retirement in a few years and still had a terrible slice. I went out this last week and changed my grip to a much stronger grip. To my amazement, I went from slicing my drives 80%-90% of the time to maybe 20% of the time and the slice is not as severe. I think I really need to work on my body positioning, swing path, and follow through. You've given me a good place to start praticing to improve my game. I also used some of the tips to swing my irons and I went from hitting all over the place to 80% straight where I'm aiming. I still don't get near the distance I should for my body size but baby steps. I'd rather hit it where I'm aiming to begin with then farther. Thanks for teh help!

Tried this trick and it did exactly what he said it would do (combined this with his other slice videos). Initially had a pull hook, but after fiddling with my grip and foot placement, I started striking the ball much cleaner and creating more a true draw. Not only that, I picked up another 2-3 mph (started around 94 and ended around 97) on my club head speed and another 20 mph on my ball speed with center hits. A few 250 total yard drives later and my confidence was through the roof. These videos have been such a massive help. Can’t thank Rick enough. Looking forward to getting out on the course and put these lessons to good use.

I'm from Minnesota. Golfed like 6 or 7 times since winter hit around November and I just forgot how to swing... huge slice with my driver and all of my irons were awful contact and going right. I watched this video last night. Seeing the grip reminded me of how my grip has gotten worse since last year so I hit a small bucket of balls today. First couple shots with my 9iron were flushed and my driver was the best it's ever been. Other than some going left I was ripping the ball. Everything in this video were things I had been taught previous except focusing on hitting balls on the toe instead of heel and the grip totally fixed everything. I'm gonna play a quick round tomorrow night than a match with some friends Saturday and gotta thank Rick for this short video giving me confidence and hope.
