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

A year and a half ago, I put to practice several videos from Rick about the driver and doing work at the driving range. And after about a dozen range sessions I gained confidence out on the course. Now on to current times...if I "miss" the fairway it is only by 3-4 yards.
So huge thanks to Rick and his efforts.

Number 2, the tilt, is what fixed my slice and I'm forever indebted. Your instructional videos are top-notch! Thanks!

I'm 29 and been golfing casually for the last 10 years. I've never had lessons or anything like that and I've always picked up on new things fairly easy. Golfing has been my biggest challenge though. There are times where I have such amazing days on the course, but I really don't know why or what I did to achieve these results. The next time I would go out and golf and thought I was doing everything the same, the results varied so drastically and I was never consistent. This week I had one of the worst days on the course with my driver ever and I ended up teeing off with my 4 or 5 iron. Because of how bad that day was, I decided to take to YouTube for some tips and you came up. I've watched a bunch of your videos about how to approach the ball, how to grip the club, posture, etc. It all makes sense, and I feel like it will allow me to be much more consistent. I haven't been able to take any of these tips to the driving range yet, I will in 2 days, but I'm super excited to actually step up to the ball with a plan instead of just mindlessly hitting it without really having any type of setup/checklist. Thanks for all the dedication you put into these videos.

Balance is such an underused word in swing tips videos yet I think it’s the key to all sports, so I was very pleased to hear you mention it here. Whether it’s striking a football, tennis ball or golf ball, having balance at and through impact makes a huge difference…just wish I practised what I preach better!!

[oliveronator]

I never watch these kind of videos expecting the tips to really help all that much, but I feel like these 3 tips could really make a difference in my swing straight away. Much love Rick 👍🏻

Long time watcher, first time commenter. I have been struggling with driver this year. Played 18 holes tonight and took driver on 10 of them. Watched this last night and gave it a try. The lining up and then pivoting/moving of my left foot slightly as indicated in your video has hands down had a great impact.

7/10 drives went 25 yards further and only had a minor 5-10 yard fade as opposed to a power fade/slice.

Will keep at this but this is the first bit of advice in a long time that’s had an immediate impact.

I also took the same set up for my 3 wood and hybrid but took the left foot and extra half step for each. 3 wood needs more investigation but I was absolutely flushing my hybrid almost arrow straight.

Cheers Rick 👍🏻

Rick I’ve been watching for about a year and after a lot of work at the range I just hit my first 300+ yard drive. Thank you for making these videos and keep going! 😃

[davidsaxby]

I've been really struggling with my driver for weeks now- pulling everything left. Today I tried the set up in this video and bombed every driver straight down the middle. My playing partners couldn't believe the difference

Thanks for this Rick - you've transformed my game

[UpDownGolf]

Awesome tips Rick, I finding keeping my swing thoughts as simple as these really help 👍👍 Definitely trying the turning front foot out next time on range

[GoofyJuice]

Production value and editing on point as always, great job guys!

[hondo]

I was hitting my driver super low, and sometimes would just straight top it. Stingers and worm burners for days. I used this setup, and now my apex is much higher ( 90+ft) and my carry distance is 40-50 yards further! This setup video has saved my golf season from the terrible driver woes I have been plagued with! Playing much better and confidence with driver has gone way up! Thanks Rick! 😎

[HeavyK_MXB]

Love your videos! I watched the complete driver setup series and it got me down to a 93 last time I played

[davidmccormick]

Awesome video Rick. So simple but looks so effective. I can’t wait to give these three tips a go on the course and see the results.

[thomasleggate]

I've saved this video and I watch it before every round. It's made a huge difference in my consistency. Thanks Rick!

[jamieskill]

Best driving video I've seen in many years, and pretty simple to follow. Cheers Rick.

[richv]

Thank you Rick! I have been struggling with this club so much lately...on a Trackman I was hitting down with a closed face, and pulling to the left side....resulting in my power pull hook...😁I have been working ton these very things you are pointing out here, thanks for making it easy to understand, especially the ball position, thanks again!

[thegingerbeardman]

Been watching a few of your videos this past week. Put some of your tips to practice this morning and could tell a difference. Thank you for the tips 🤙🏼

[cluelesswanderer]

Your advice has seriously helped my performance, I’m confident enough to be playing my first ever actual game in a couple of weeks! Thanks for all the advice mate!

[kieranembleton]
