Last year I was averaging over 120 on most courses and sliced my driver so much, it make a boomerang jealous. Rick's videos have not only got me hitting straight (most of the time) but I broke 100 for the first time ever this past weekend. Thanks for the awesome tips Rick!

I swear Rick knows exactly what I’m struggling with at any point in time

0:45 - Above your feet 3:59 - Ball below your feet 6:40 - Uphill lie 9:44 - Downhill lie I appreciate your teaching and explanations. They've been incredibly useful to me. Timestamps for people looking for a quick reference.

How do you not love this guy ? Well spoken , the accent and solid advice . Keep up the good work Rick . We appreciate you in Beaverton , Oregon .

You can’t lie that the noise that the club makes when the ball get hit is INSANELY SATISFYING😉

I love how you explain every shots , even when sometimes you're shots don't go exactly where you want them to ! For us less than perfect players , this makes us feel really good ! We know exactly what you are trying to say and understand what you are trying to show us ! We understand that when we try , it's not going to be perfect, the first time ! My nemesis has always been the downhill lies , you explained it perfectly , how it needs to be played! Thank you , Patrick

Rick I must say this is one of the most useful videos you’ve ever made. I struggle with at least two of the four scenarios and will ingrain your four types of shots. Wonderful.

Rick is killing the Swing instruction industry. Like the Magician who gives all the secrets away....and we thank you. AS for the hanging lie, ball below our feet. My opinion; the reason we mis-hit that shot. Once you start your back swin'g, You brain knows you're out of balance, and tells your thigh muscles "Stand up". I give Rick ton of credit. He's teaching and not worrying about where the ball is landing...he's showing the good, the bad and ugly...

Quality Rick Probably the best 13 minute any golfer could ever have 👍👍👍

I have always struggled with ball above and below my feet and you explained the set up in a very clear way, played 9 today and put it to use and noticed a huge improvement. Thanks Rick!

I'm left handed, so I love it when you talk "front" and "back" instead of left and right. Front and back help me understand the tips better. Love your tips.

I watched this before playing today…I needed every shot you demonstrated…best game I ever played. Thank you Rick

1:23 almost said "me eight iron" lol it's all good Rick, we know you can't hide your inner English! Cheers!

Great tips. I keep forgetting the direction the ball goes on uphill versus downhill lies. I'm printing off these tips on a card and sticking on my golf cart so I remember.. Age makes us forget, we'll at least me. Love to see more of this style of golf tips on the channel. The graphics really help and the reasoning behind it. Thanks a bunch Rick. My game has seriously improved since I started watching your channel last year. Keep it up!

Rick as always a great video. Had to put my dog of 17 years down today due to cancer. Thanks for taking my mind off what was inevitable for a few minutes. Once again many thanks and stay safe and healthy. Pete from Australia

One of your best videos. This is what every golfer faces. A golf course is not a driving range and each lie is different. But the basis of the advise about these 4 types of lie are so good. Thank you, Rick.

Such high quality, and well organized content. Really appreciate the straightforward practical approach to learning.

For someone who lives in Alabama, this is helpful! Lots of hills and elevation changes here.

I love that you zoomed into the green so we could see where the ball settled... That's one thing I wish these golf videos would do... Especially when clubs are reviewed

Rick is the best. Great sense of humor and a great teacher.

Hi Rick , would I be correct in saying that additionally , on an uphill lie , that the ball should be moved slightly up in your stance, and on a downhill lie , the ball should be moved slightly back in your stance to adapt to the changing point where the club bottoms out in each of those situations ..? ...IMO ...LOL

Rick, best lesson I've seen on this topic and one which most weekend duffers have no clue about. One other thing I was taught about downhill lies is that you should take some practice swings to see where they bottom out. My first couple are always too far behind the ball even if I think I'm set up properly. Would explain some comments here about people chunking shots. Keep up the good work.

The 14 th hole at my course - if your tee shot is to the right you end up with the ball well above your feet, 190 yards to the green - for years I have either pulled it left, or aimed right and the ball stayed right! Then one day after watching this video I managed to put my ball onto the green with my second shot by standing closer to the ball - WOW, then when we got to the eighteenth work was being carried out on the path, so we had a temp/teeing ground a 100 yards further forward, but on a slope (ball below your feet) I got down low as I could and my tee shot hut the green! All in one day WOW- It's all your fault Rick, thank you so much!

Very well done. When I don’t golf for a while, I get a sloped lie then blow it then after say I didn’t tilt my body to the slope! Now, I realize I probably didn’t do the other three things correctly either.🤣😅😊

*Rick, i heard there is a new club that automatically adjusts to different lies, would love for you to review!* 😃

I don't mind Rick tooting his horn about hitting close shots as long as he keeps showing us his crappy shots too :)

This is the best golf lesson video I've seen in a long time In depth instruction on uneven lies. A common problem with most golfers. Great video Rick. Hats off to you.

I like it that your videos are authentic. Good shots, bad shots, you keep rolling. Same with club and ball testing, no sponsored videos. Pure authentic

Great advice bee doing all these things for some years now and been asked by friends how a play those lies so well👍🏻 Only thing is I never get a lie like you did in the video😂😂😂😂👍🏻

Rick, you're down to earth and comfortable in your own skin. I like the fact that you are not superhuman; you're not the one-armed robot that engineers built to test clubs and golf balls. It always hits the ball straight; you don't. This was a good, informative show for uphill, downhill, etc lies; it wasn't about those compound lies where a golfer sees downhill - sidehill lies. However, I learned a lot and I enjoyed learning from someone who hits balls like "The Golf-a-holics," buit doesn't talk like he hits 'em like Ben Hogan. You have 1.28M subscribers because we can relate to you. You're one of us & you never talk down to us. That's big. Also, you are almost as good at hitting the stray & woodsy shots as Arnold Palmer. I think that's because you're a creative not a determined plodder like "Sweet Swing" Peter Finch. Finch will hit two straight balls with perfect form and wind up ten yards shy of the green. From there, he's lucky to two putt. You, on the other hand, will hit some "Wild Kingdom", off into the jungle shot off the tee, and then, you'll curve a ball off a branch leaving yourself with a birdie putt. While I admire & envy Peter's swing, I like that you can recover from your screw-ups. To me, that's more the sign of a master teacher than a guy who doesn't have the brains to aim at the flag instead of the edge of the green. Cheers.

The best advice I have received yet, I've improved a lot and no longer nervous on approaching and having the correct mindset and how I want the ball to move.

I like how you explain with reasoning. This means my understanding isn't a bunch of rules I'm going to forget, but something I'll remember because I can visualize the reasoning. Thank you for this teaching style - it doesn't get better than this.

okay, I've avoided this video because I thought I could handle it, but I've ended up in so many slopes, so I'm here, teach me British golf man.

Great video Rick, will be really helpful. One question - I note you don’t mention ball position at all...I had been told this needed to change but you feel it should be exactly as it would be on a flat lie?

Great video- simple and to the point your miss on the down hill lie would suit most amateur golfers any day

Being an old golfer I remember the very old adage....... Austin Rover (ball Above aim Right) and British Leyland (ball Below aim Left) worked for me for years. Cheers Rick

Just thankful for Rick. That's all. Free content that's worth more than a box of golf balls I would have lost otherwise

Love the intro, you're amazing, and have a great day😀!

This video spoke to me. I always have an awkward lie, even in the fairway. Can’t wait to experiment with these tips!

Just re-watched this. Really simple demonstrations. Thank you.

Ah yes, a very well made tutorial with good tips for golfers. Only problem, I don't golf. Still watched the whole video though.

The last time I was this early, Rick didn't have a beard .

Thanks Rick! this a great video. I made the mistake on the uphill lie yesterday an hit a shot short because I did not club up. I will know next time now after watching this.

Hi Rick, I’ve just discovered your KZfaq vid and I’m 💚💚💚💚ing your instruction and tips! 🤩😎. I always mess up my shots on what I consider a bad lie when in fact after looking at your vid it’s not a bad lie but is just a lie. I realise I’ve never set up correctly to the slope. I’ve always set up as if I’m on a flat lie and this has given me my perception of having bad shots = due to a bad lie 😟🤪🤪🤪🙈. Your instruction is so simple and makes SO much sense, I needed to hear it. 🙏🏼 for sharing. 🤗. It’s raining today but I’m going to go out and put what you just told me to practise. 😊. Looking forward to seeing all your other vids! 🤩🤩🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😃

I love how I’m spending time learning this instead of how to properly hit a golf ball of a flat lie 😂

Match against @gm_golf coming soon, hopefully

Great video - simplifies what a lot of golfers fear to now installing method confidence. Top notch RICK

How to hit off of a different holes tee box slope. Perfect! Just what I needed!!!!

How does Rick always find these incredibly empty holes on a course lol.

As a lefty, this just confused me 😅

Watched your video yesterday and played at a very undulating course this morning. Chipped in for birdie on a par 3 from a 20ish yard uphill lie! Cheers Rick

simple, easy to remember...fabulous!

Played toughest courses ever yesterday, maybe 4 shots came from level lie Oh how I wish I had watched these tips before spraying balls all over the course. Wrote down the tip n will be in my bag for reference on my next round Thanks Rick

Omg, you saved me..I have had so much problem with this. Great simplification, you're the man!

Rick, one of the best Videos you ever made, from time to time I watch it again 👍

Rick great instruction video covering major aspects of hitting golf ball from variety of sloping lies. Concise and simple to follow with good shot tracing images. Thanks a million for this advice cause my club, Torwoodlee, in known for its sloping lies all over the course. Colin.

Still the perfect combination of explanation and demonstration in a golf video. Rick is positively the best golf instructor on youTube.

I’m a +0.2 handicap and you don’t think these videos would help but they do so much with the little tid-bits that Rick puts in there. So many good tips👍🏻

As a paraplegic that plays sitting on a shooting stick I have adapt a bit from your full instructions. That said they are a great staring point. Cheers!

Thanks Rick, excellent refresher course on hitting ball from above feet, below feet, uphill and downhill. Much appreciated.

Super teaching video, trying to play golf for years but always learning, thanks

One of the more valuable and useable videos to date. Thank you.

Great video, very useful information! Definitely take the loft angle into account the next time I'm in one of these situations.

Excellent video, Rick. While discussing The Masters, my 8-year old said, "I only know 3 golfers. Tiger Woods, Rick Shiels, and my dad." You're in good company!

Thanx Rick, just found this nugget. I have heard some of these concepts before but never as concise and I only learned about 5 things that I haven't heard before. This was a gem!!

I always struggle with these. Well explained adjustments that I hope will help me.

Great video, well explained especially liked the lack of technical jargon as you get on some other sites I have watched.

Very helpful, things we know but they’re organized and easy to reflect on, I shared with 5 people.

My biggest struggle as a high HC player. Awesome video! Cant wait for my next practice session.

My distance off the tee is shorter, dead pull left. Thanks Danny. I like your videos. Easy to understand.

Great video...Sloping lies is one of my problems especially when playing courses in the west riding which tend to be hillier than my home course...need to look at getting out of bunkers next as this is another problem...another one of the many...will definitely rewatch this one...cheers for the tips.

Great video reinforces what I should already know and more basic so I can use it. Thanks Rick

Straight to the point. Keep it short and sweet. Thats what I need.

Rick, I watched this video just a couple of weeks ago and have to say THANKS!! For a long time, my nemesis has been any shot with the ball below my feet. I always seemed to either push, shank or hit a big pull hook. I used bent my knees but once I added the Lean Forward part of the setup it's totally transformed these shots for me. I have been striking them great AND they're actually going at my target. Thanks again!

This video is HUGE Rick. I had absolutely no clue how to approach a shot with a uphill/downhill lie. Thanks.

Thank you! I've been missing the body position part my whole life. Hopefully I'll be able to hit these lies much better now.

Best video I have seen on these four lies. Well done.

Thanks for sharing that I struggle allot with uneven lies. I suspect I will be watching this a few time when the golf season here starts up in 2021

Great video Rick! Another way to describe the correct angle is to make your spine perpendicular to the slope of the hill.

Note ball goes left on uphill lies and right on downhill lies as well also I note no comment on ball position on any of the shots ,it may be just normal but I have found ball slightly towards higher part of hill may help.Many thanks for this .

This is a great video. I play a course in North Carolina where literally half the time, if you drive the ball in the fairway, you have some sort of sloping lie. But on the driving range, all the practice areas we can hit from have an absolutely flat lie. It would be great if courses like mine would put a small hill on the driving range where we can practice hitting from a sloping lie.

This is a great teaching video. Thanks very much, I used it in my golf blog.

I am memorizing this video! Easy to follow. Easy to remember. Easy... well easier hopefully... out on the undulating golfcourse! Thank you for this Rick. First time here with you "by accident". I'll be back!

The boys over at TXG did a great video on lie angle like a ball above/below the feet and how it effects direction and how if the lie angle in below the feet how the center of gravity moves out towards the toe. Great video as always

He's the best teacher I have seen on you tube,thank you for all the help

One of the most useful videos I have ever seen and used to improve my personal game and seriously save strokes. Watched it last summer and have improved a lot and revisiting it all now. Thank you Rick.

Great lesson! Will try it tomorrow. Hope i remember it all .Thank you. Didnt mention ball position.

Great video. Took time to write down all the tips in my pocket memo book I keep in my bag, so when I am confronted by one of these lies I have a quick reference. Thanks.

I absolutely love the fact that you call yourself out on those not so good shots ! Your honesty alone would have my subscription. your examples and explanations are simplified and easy to understand. It's a privilege to have had found your channel. I thank you for your time and advise.. Keep up the great work!

Great review on how to handle those uneven lies. Thank you, Rick.

Just loved this lesson. On point, easy to register - understood the Loft Game ! Thanks, Rick :)

Really good info in this video. I’m sure I will rewatch this time and time again. Thanks - appreciate it!

How does somebody dislike this video? People talk about hitting better on the driving range then out on the course and part of it is because of the up, down, low and high lies. If anything this video will give you more confidence out playing 18. Don’t see what there is to dislike..

Wow! Really helpful tips here. The examples made the light bulb go on. Thanks a bunch.

Great, video, Rick! Appreciate these simple to remember points on how to hit these tricky shots.

Best video I've ever watched Rick. No wiffle waffle just clear, concise and perfect.

Thank you, great lesson; I have had always the idea that I should put my ball more towards the right foot on a downhill lie. What I saw is that it wasn´t mentioned.

I love Rick's videos. Very good indeed and can definitely help to improve my shorts

Thanks Rick! More and more your instruction is resonating with me. I like the variety of videos, because they hit all parts of the game and stay fun!

Can't wait to go to a golf course after seeing your tips I think it might be very usefull for me thanks Rick
