3 SIMPLE TIPS - STOP HITTING BEHIND THE GOLF BALL
In this video PGA Golf Professional Rick Shiels shows you 3 very simple and easy to do golf tips to stop you hitting behind the golf balls.
Hitting behind the golf ball is very bad for your golf game as it will cause you to lose distance on your golf shot. Hitting the ball then the turf after will help you become more consistent in your golf game, will help you hit the ball much further and will lower your golf score.
These 3 drills are easy to do and will help you hit it like the best golfers in the world including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and many more. PGA Tour players all hit the golf ball first then the ground after to help them be the most consistent golfers on the planet.

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.

Great simple video Rick. During lockdown I was working on my golf swing in the garden (air shots) focussing on feeling my weight on the right foot, trying not to come out of it too soon. Suddenly I’ve noticed I’m hitting a lot of my iron shots way behind the ball. Your video has nailed it.

@Charlie_Crown 4 жыл бұрын

Being a beginner, this is exactly what i've been practicing, albeit in the back garden, in an effort to hit the the ball cleaner and more consistent, especially driving the hips through and forward, facing the target, just at impact. And now I'm back on the course, it's working well for me, and these drills will help me maintain that consistency and timing, nice one. Please continue with more coaching tips, or dedicate a particular day to it, like 'Ricks Tip Thursday', or something like that, cheers 👌

So glad you added that snip about the hands at impact. This changed my game a few weeks ago and its surprising how many videos about iron strikes neglect to mention this crucial factor. This may help someone else and that was for me another game changer, starting my downswing with my arms. Thats not to say your body moves after the natural motion from your arms but just to start the sequence with the movement of your arms. Admittedly this may not work for everyone but if you had a slice like me it made a huge difference to my swing and strike by ensuring an in to out path.

This video was a huge help for me. The beginning about staying centered really hit home. Before watching this, my backswing had me coming off the ball. I would feel my weight all over my back foot. Wahla! Staying centered, I now just felt my weight shifting to my back heel. Not the whole back foot. In the past I always heard about pressing the back heel into the ground but could never do it. Now I can. In regards to the towel drill, I tried it in the past and always hit the towel. So frustrating! Not anymore! Your edited piece about keeping the club handle forward and not flipping was good also. I would hold my right hand angle creating lag to hit the ball first and then the ground. I’m making so much better contact now, even with my fairway woods using your advice. Thanks for your help.

Lately I have been struggling with chunking everything and I have never been able to get up at the end of my swing. Can't wait for the rain to clear up so I can go to the range and try this again.
