Hi I'm Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This CZcams 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.

ok
I don’t have Facebook so I can’t see them
I won’t thanks rick
Thanks Rick, I really struggle to hit my rescue. Will give those tips a try 👍
Lots of help Rick cheers👍
Hit a perfect hybrid on the green in two from a little over 200 yards. One of my best golf shots. Still 3 putt my eagle opportunity so it all worked out in the end haha.
While 3-putting sucks, I'd rather 3-putt and walk off with a par than a double bogey lol
Sounds like a hell of a par!
Just spat my beer out. Thanks for that, bro.
Love having a long iron in the bag for getting out of trees... I spend a lot of time in trees!!
We together im always hitting a 3 iron
Shoot man I am a tree. I spent more time picking up twigs than fixing divots.
Me too dude, I spend far more time in the trees than on the fairway
I carry my own white ants iam in there that much
Gotta keep that 4 iron strapped😤👌🏼
I wish I could hit either of them😂👍🏼
This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "different swing planes for different clubs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing one off product for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
Lol
In my early fifties I went to hybrids on the course, and use the 3/4/5 irons only on weeds in my back yard. My enjoyment on the course kept high, and height of the weeds were kept low in the yard. Good video Rick, thanks.
Brilliant
I'm only 30 and have done that too. I don't have any long irons now.
I was always injuring my shoulder and back by swinging too hard and fast, so now I do the effortless slow swing technique, but for that a different bag is required.
So now I've got
Driver
3wood
4wood
5 hybrid
7-pw in callaway XR OS (Massive heavy heads)
A few wedges
Mallet putter.
@@Jack-xy4fyfor me: its driver, 5 wood, 4-PW (taylormade R11) I'm not a Taylormade fan but I have a pretty decent setup.
@@ryze9153 I'm shocked at how much my bag changed since last year 🤣🤣🤣
I've got a similar bag to you now
@@Jack-xy4fy lol. I've got mostly intermediate clubs as my swing is still getting there. But my progress is clear thank God. I'm actually using the mizuno stx 220 driver currently. and the same goes for the 5 wood. Pretty soon tho, I'll be putting a titleist TSI 3 driver in my bag.
I have a 4,5,6,7 hybrids in my bag with 7,8,9,PW, AW and SW it’s made a huge improvement in my ball striking as a senior golfer.
As a 4 with decent swing speed, I've always wanted to hit long irons mostly due to them being so pretty. BUT the way I can shape my shot with a hybrid is the main reason I switched!
Rick,
Thanks for continuing to put up fantastic content like this! You should consider doing a more slow motion type video analyzing your swing or others to help correct them and show how each club should impact the ball. I think that would help myself and others really see what they need to be aiming for with their clubs / swing!
Thank god for this. Heading to the course this evening and I need to mend my relationship with my hybrid. This video might actually help!
Great comparison! While I am recuperating from shoulder surgery, I am looking to improve my game once I can swing a club again. Given my challenges of late in slower club head speed. I am considering going to a hybrid to replace my 3 & 4 irons. Very helpful video. Cheers!
shout out anyone who is old enough to remember hybrids as being called "rescue" clubs 🤣
I had the original Taylormade rescue 😂😂😂
Got the taylormade rescue!
I started golfing in my 20's with an 89 dollar set and they were actual woods.
here,...here
@@toddrone yep, the Taylor rescue along with the Adams Tight lies.
Love the updated version of a fundamental video done a couple years ago! Still shows how relevant the information is while giving perspective on TODAY'S clubs. Nice work!
Watched this before playing golf today, what a difference!! Taking good second shots on par 5's and actually threatening the greens all thanks to using the hybrid properly 👍😁
Thanks, Rick…have been using hybrid irons for a year now (I’m 68) and there is definitely an art to hitting them. I finally figured out the slight lean and putting the ball forward in my stance for more consistent ball striking. I’m working on slowing my back and downswing…speed is the key to better striking of the ball with hybrids for sure.
I'm an average golfer at best and your videos are helping so much. Keep up the great work Rick it is much appreciated 👍
Your teaching videos are brilliant and you explain things so clearly. I watched the videos on hitting shorter irons and it has transformed my golf. I struggle with my hybrid but this has, again, really helped. Off to the driving range to try it out. Thank you!
Thanks for this Rick! I just got my first hybrid in a long time (taylormade Sim) and this tutorial really helped. Keep up the good work 😄
I’ve recently played my first two games of golf (still don’t own clubs) and love the sport! Your channel is perfect for my new found hobby
Watching 11-month-old Rick Shiels videos and making my game better makes this an easy subscribe!!
I always have liked watching your short tutorials, equipment reviews, and challenges with Peter! WIN CLUBS
I’ve learn so much from you since I started that my golf buddies ask me when I took up golf lessons! Thanks for what you do
Was waiting for this video. I’ve been very inconsistent with my long irons, sometimes I strike them phenomenally and other times I I just top the ball. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong till now. Thanks a lot Rick
@Your Average Golfer yeah I was doing the same but my buddy who is much better than me (a 2!) told me to act like im squishing a bug just slightly under my lead foot. BOOM instant great shot like 30 yards further lol
Unbelievable how good and easy to understand these videos are 👏👏👏
Absolutely love watching your videos rick and basically you’ve got me back playing through watching your videos , they definitely have helped me especially when it came to my driving as I sliced a fair few but now I’ve become a lot better driver coz of you , I shot 85 last night which I think is good as I’ve only been back playing for about 3 weeks as I hadn’t picked up a club in over 2 years so thank you rick and keep up the good work
This makes perfect sense!! I struggle with my 4-iron but smash my 3-hybrid!! Thanks for the videos!!! Getting golf lessons without taking formal lessons
Thanks for the great video as always Rick! I personally hit my hybrid as you described, however I have heard a lot of instructors saying that you should hit down with a hybrid, more like a mid iron and even take a bit of divot..any thoughts on that please? Thanks!
Hey rick. Thanks for all the videos you make, they really help me a lot and have made me improve my game heaps.
Great video Rick! I’m loving my long irons recently but occasionally play them too far up in the stance. This was a nice refreshers indeed!
Really interesting. My 4 and 3 iron are my safety clubs off the tee and I have never really thought about how I hit them or position myself but I instinctively have it further forward in stance. Never have been good with hybrids!
Im the same cant hit hybrids at all. Dont have a problem with the long irons. Even hav a 2 iron in the bag. Im not great with 3 wood either.
Hey rick I love the vids, would love to see a video on how not to flip your hands at impact😁👍
Thanks for all these amazing and easy lessons... ive always struggled with my irons and this helped...
I haven't used a hybrid as of yet. I've been practicing with my long irons quite a bit recently and now getting more good shots than bad. After watching this I'm tempted to get a hybrid now to see what's better suited for me. Thanks 👍🏻
Just changed back to a long iron, was struggling with my hybrid. This has been really useful, thanks 👍
I put the 3 iron back in the bag. I couldn't hit the hybrid with any consistency. I have a two plane swing. Check Jack's long iron play (the greatest 2 plane swing ever).
I had to put the 3 iron back into the bag. The hybrid has been banished to the laundry room for its continued betrayals!
Did the same, can get warm with the hybrids.
3 and 4 iron back in the bag works better for me
This and the "iron swing vs. driver swing" video have given me a lot of insight why I can hit irons well but struggle with a driver/woods--I've been trying to hit them swinging the way I do with irons!
I'm excited to hit the driving range and see if some adjustments help. Cheers.
Me too...every once in a while I hit the driver very well but I struggle so much with it and I almost never take out my woods cause I have no confidence....but I do really well with my irons... going to try this different swing technique
Rick, thank you so much man. After 4,000 golf hits with plenty of intermittent breaks in the past 2 years, I was able to fix my consistent slice with your slice video. It was the best one solution for anything I needed. Thank you!
I do love a hybrid makes my game so much more enjoyable. Thanks for all your hard work rick! ✌🏻
This is a great video. I have recently readjusted this part of my bag and now carry 3w, 2i, 3h, 4i. I love both long irons and hybrids in certain situations!
I'm kinda similar with my top end of the bag: 13° 3w, 17° 2i, 21° 4h, and 23.5° 5i then 6-PW plus wedges
I feel like it gives more options to have a long iron or two to go with the fairway woods and hybrids
Great tips...I carry 3i, 3Hy, 5i and one lenght 5Hy(great around greens and chipping out) Which i do OFTEN!!!
I carry Driver, 3w, 3-4 hybrid, 4-pw, gw, sw, lw, putter. I've found that to be the most universal set, I'm never between clubs and I can still choke down on my 3-4 hybrid if I need more control or I need to punch it out of a tricky lie.
Purchased a 4 Hybrid last year and it's my favorite club. Definitely helps me on the fairway since I never had much luck or confidence with a 4 or 3 iron.
Helpful information and great results on the course always get better results on the course after watching and implementing the advice you give cheers Rick keep up the great work 👍🏻
Ur videos have dramatically improved my golf game!! Love how u bring it down to a regular joe level. Keep it up man!!
I love hitting my hybrid, hate hitting long irons 😂 These videos are so good man! Thank you!
Rick could you please do a review on Vice Pro and Vice Pro Plus golf balls stacked up against Titliest Pro V1 and Pro V1x?
Thanks!
I feel like every review for vice balls I see is paid promotion..
@@Chris-gj7uy Haven't seen may legitimate Vice reviews, but that said, the Vice Pro is my jam. Fantastic ball.
There is a guy who does the comparison and they seem to be very similar.
I really like the Vice golf ball. Great distance, control around the green. It’s not a bright whites and I think it kind of dulls up after use. I also think it’s not as durable as say a Titleist or Bridgestone.
I wanted ot say thanks for the instructional video and taking the time to post them, I really like the way you explain things and go throught the instruction. What also made me even more appreciative was the honesty that you dont hit a fade or hit it often. This made me a subscriber and will use your videos to improve my game.
Thanks for the tips. You provide the best videos, because you demonstrate what you are talking about more than just talking. Much appreciated!
5 wood. So under appreciated. And I love my 3 hybrid, too!
You think I can't dig into the ground with a hybrid? Challenge accepted 💪
It's like he knows what I've been trying to work on this past week. This video came out at a perfect time. Thank you rick
This video just fixed my issues. I was trying to hit the hybrid like an iron and setup was a major problem for both clubs. Thank you for posting this!!! Your videos are extremely helpful for me, particularly the driver videos. I should probably check out your putting videos. 😬
Just recently started playing golf and finished my first ever round of 18 today! Because of your knowledge and tips, I was able to play confidently as well as keep pace with my friends! Didn’t do too bad either! Big big fan!
Just to warn you, golf is probably the biggest love/hate relationship anyone can possibly have 😂
I played a round of 18 on Saturday. Awful. Absolutely atrocious lol. But I did a short 9 today and I did really well! Finished 39/36!
@@travisnunez1693 Dang that's really good for just starting
@Josh Whalen appreciate it! Whether I recreate that magic next time is another question 😂
@@travisnunez1693 Why you out here lying saying you shot a 39/36 when you "recently started". Unless "recently" was more than at a MINIMUM 6 months ago (and you would be a prodigy in that case) you did not do this without substantial cheating. No way lol.
Comments like these make normal, honest people who actually recently started feel shitty about their scores. This is unrealistic. If you did it, get a PGA coach and start training cause you're once in a lifetime level good lol
“Literally baharuuuuuuuzed the ground.”
Thanks for sharing your knowledge in the efforts to make our game more enjoyable. I will be sure to keep in mind your tips when I am on vacation at the end of the month.
Another great educational video, who needs golf lessons when Rick can help like this, keep the great content coming good Sir
Started using my 5 iron off the te and I'm getting 200 yards on it, never can hit the hybrid well enough so this helps a lot, cheers Rick
You don’t get 200 yards . Fact
kmclfc Just because you can’t hit your 5 iron doesn’t mean others can’t. I get 195 with my 5 and I’m by no means a great golfer.
@@davedundee2350 Exactly, thank you
kmclfc lmao if you can’t hit a 5 iron close to 200 you trippin
kmclfc I took up golf 3 weeks ago had a go on a par 3 and a session the range and I hit my 5 iron 150 yards so I’m sure 200 is possible
I have always used hybrids I just feel more confident with them.
Here’s your medal lad 🏅
I’m the complete opposite I have zero confidence with my hybrids xD
Good enough for the PGA pros it is good enough for us. I am moving towards more hybrids. It is kinda nice
Same here, don’t feel comfortable rn with 3 wood. In a slump, but hybrids are always my go to
I always slice my hybrid no idea why. Gotta go with 4 iron.
You are the reason I got into golf , watched your videos and decided to give it a go , played my first ever front 9 even today , was one over going into the the last then played my first ever birdie on a par 5
Awesome coaching, you have inspired me to get back out on the course thank you!
I'll tell you the difference Rick: I can actually hit my hybrids lol
I love hitting a nice 3 or 4 iron off the tee and fairway... 👌🏻
Where do you stand Rick with a driving iron, or is there not much call for them anymore?
Rick carries a 2 iron and its one of his favs, watch some of his vlogs. He inspired me to add a 2 iron and I love mine. They're a great weapon if you have a solid swing 👍
This is gonna help me a lot. I’ve struggled with my 3 iron hybrid so much that I hardly use it. Thanks Rick!!
How did you know that i exactly need help with these clubs?? Thank you man!
I Just recently replaced my four iron with a four hybrid. I don’t swing the hybrid any differently than I did the iron. Same ball position, same attack angle, same everything. The only difference is the improved consistency of the strike, ball flight, apex, performance on mishits. All good. 👍👍
So I shouldn’t go out and buy a 2 3 4 I should learn to use my hybrid or woods? I’m new to golf
This is great, I just have to substitute pecs for moobs 😉
Really useful tips. I have a 4 iron & a 3 hybrid, which I’m getting more confident with, rather than just using them to rescue me from a wayward drive!
Rick - Love your tips. They have improved my game sooo much. Cheers!!
Loving all the biomechanics of the different swings. It all makes sense. Just a shame its not translating yet 🤔😂
Hi rick, have recently just found your channel, my head moves loads in my swing and as a result my body drops. Have you done a video that would help. Any help would be hugely appreciated
There's an at home drill I was given at a lesson to work on the feeling of keeping your head height still. Go lean your head against a wall and rotate your torso/hips back and forth. This will help feel the sensation and then step away and repeat without the wall aid. I do the same thing and didn't realize until it was pointed out at the lesson.
hard to diagnose without seeing your swing, your head moving might be a side-effect more than a cause, it could be you swaying through your swing or shifting your weight wrong and changing your spine angle, it could even be a result of compensation caused by your grip, again really hard to tell without seeing the whole swing in action.
He has a playlist that shows his tutorials for drive and iron swing, might help
Great Video Rick! Always helping me fix my golf game! 👍
Great video, only part of my game I’m struggling with is long irons. Hybrid wise I tend to hit down with a sweep with 4 hybrid, I find if I try to come up a little on the ball it pulls right
Whenever I Get a notification I watch
Same with me
Same
Rick reads my mind I just got a long iron and replacing a hybrid
Thanks Rick
This is the video I needed 👍🏽 thanks Rick!!
Great timing, just picked up my first hybrid today from our pro shop!
How about playing a round for charity (sort of like “The Match” CZcams instructors edition with Clay Ballard and maybe a few others? The subscribers can donate to whichever charity you guys pick.
Enjoy your videos, Rick. Enjoy your accent just as much... “lun gyruns” :-)
Great video. Thank you. Would have loved to see comparison of the ball paths of 4 iron and hybrids to compare height, trajectory etc but otherwise very appreciative.
Just got my first set of hybrids, Ricks lessons perfected my swing. Hybrids are accurate great flight and distance. Keep a low iron in the bag, for low tree shots. A must club!
Cleveland HB Launcher in a 4 "iron"
Easiest 4 iron to hit with flight and distance
the HB 3 is a great club too...i must get a 4
Irons are my favorite clubs so I've never used a hybrid
Used your tip today from both fairway, tee and light rough. What a difference in my course management
Cheers Rick, keep it coming
Cheers Rick this is really helpful. I find i get too much loft with all my irons but still get a good amount of distance.
Honestly I’ll take any help I can get for hitting my hybrid, worst club in my bag
You should consider cutting down your shaft to a 4 iron length. Swing it like an iron, not a fairway wood!
@@philrog4329 has a very good point. I got really good at hybrids by just choking down on them and swinging them like an iron. Once you start hitting better choke back up a bit.
Hybrids should be the length of your 7iron
Rick: “if you do hit the ground its not going to take a divot”
Me: “Wanna bet?”
Rick I have to say thank you! all your videos have help my game so much! Just shot my best 18 in 5 years!
huge fan Rick. literally learned golf from watching you and now hit 300 yard drives and amazing chips and puts. Breaking into the 80s now only 3 years in
Me: sees video
Also Me: immediately clicks on video
This has really helped me as I struggled with my hybrid after being my go to club. Reset my setup and now flying again.
Thanks Rick. Great vid. I've been struggling with my long irons and just recently took them out for hybrids 3-5. But it would appear I had the ball to far forward in my stance. Maybe I can switch them back now.
I desperately needed this advice!! Thanks Rick :)
One month ago I didn’t even know who rick is but now he is all I watch. Keep up the good work
I’ve been using the tips you have in a video about hybrids and what all they can be used for and it had lowered my score by 5-6
What I needed to know. Thought I wanted a Ping crossover but I do not hit the ball high so now I will be getting another hybrid. Appreciate your videos
KK
I JUST got a lesson on my new Ping hybrids yesterday and we talked about the same factors - great content as always Rick!
Thanks for all great videos and tips. They all help me a lot, so much that I was able to do a hio.
Saw the article about you in Links magazine. Nicely done. I’ve been watching you now for a number of years and always enjoyed the content. Congrats.
Loving these tips Rick! Keep em up!
Well stated Rick, I just got a Ping blueprint 2 iron and I definitely hit it well and I agree with the ball positioning as well under your left Peck
Great vid Rick ⛳️🏌️♂️
thank you, Rick, from Cairns. Great tips for the hybrid
Great video Rick. I’ve been thinking about using hybrids as an old back injury has forced me to slow my swing speed down
Really helpful as used to play my 3 and 5 irons but always managed to mush it my 5 iron. I haven’t got a big swing speed so this probably why and using a 5 hybrid I am able to majority of the time get it right
