      off the toe....probably 8/10 around the middle

    • @benwilson7088
      @benwilson7088 Před 6 lety +2

      Q1: Usually in the heel! I slice it for fun.
      Q2: Maybe 1 if i'm lucky...

    • @chasescott5120
      @chasescott5120 Před 6 lety +2

      Off of the toe for sure and probably 6/10

    • @stevebone1476
      @stevebone1476 Před 6 lety +1

      Q1 definitely on the toe.
      Q2 at the moment id say 4/10

  • @lukebarnett2810
    @lukebarnett2810 Před 5 lety +9

    I feel like since watching your videos my golf game is improving. Especially my driving. I was bad at slicing and hitting off cue. I'm also a shorter individual using clubs that are about a half inch too long. However, watching how you adjust to each club has helped me greatly. I'm hitting consistent 220+ drives. I've only been playing for about a month so anything I can learn is super helpful. Thank you Rick. Keep up the awesome videos man.

  • @richardjoughin7468
    @richardjoughin7468 Před 2 lety

    Hi Rick. I am 65 and played since I was 19. my H/ cap has always been around 17 to 20 so nothing special. but love the game. but it's never too late to learn. I have watched your lessons for well over a year now. and my driver now goes between 220 and 250. and straight. my game is now more consistent and now I have acquired a lab putter. I am enjoying the greens too. my short game has always been fairly good. but thanks to your input I have never enjoyed playing more. so a big TA to you Rick. keep them coming.

  • @jaynheather74127
    @jaynheather74127 Před 4 lety +22

    So using these tips, I played my best golf game ever today. My drives were more consistent and I gained between 25 and 50 yards.... I drove my longest drive of 325 yards. Thanks Rick for these great videos.

  • @emmitttraynor8939
    @emmitttraynor8939 Před 5 lety +5

    Madness. How much more consistent my driver is adding the tilt into my posture. Awesome work Rick keep it up mate really enjoy your videos!

  • @rosannemargaretscungio1097

    Hi Rick! Thank you for all these amazing videos. I just started golfing 3 months ago. I don’t have an actual formal lessons but I always refer to your videos if I wanted to learn and correct my golf swings. Im eager to learn. How I wish I could fly to Europe and be one of your student. That’s my ultimate dream. 😃

  • @thomaskaiser4169
    @thomaskaiser4169 Před 3 lety

    This was the correction that I needed for my drives . I have hit the ball straighter and at the least 60 yards farther . I had a wicked slice and now it’s gone . This by far is the best video on CZcams I have found to date that perfectly took away that slice . And I have hit 16 out of 18 fairways since I watched this video . And that is the truth . Thanks Sir Rick

  • @christopherfernandes4401

    Thank you. You have given a very good explanation on how to hit the driver. Good explanation of open club face and closed club-face.

  • @ZachSmith1337
    @ZachSmith1337 Před 6 lety +2

    Awesome video Rick! This was perfectly timed too because I was hitting my driver today and it felt like I could’ve been doing much better. I’m gonna try these tips out and start hitting some better shots.

  • @kensheehan4694
    @kensheehan4694 Před 2 lety

    Hi Rick. I've decided to return to the game of golf after a 6 year absence. Kids getting a little older so I feel the time is right. I was always a power hitter with not much of a short game, but I've realized I should be thinking more about technique for distance at my current age, (53) and improving the short game to cut strokes. I've been watching a bunch of your videos and enjoy them all. Just wanted to say thank you for putting them on, I'm hoping a lot of it can translate to the range and then the course. I'll keep you updated!

  • @darrylstang1763
    @darrylstang1763 Před 5 lety

    You're one of a very few people who get to the point, repeat your ideas simply, and have graphics that support your ideas. I'm going to follow another of your videos! Thanks for respecting my time.

  • @justinfry4082
    @justinfry4082 Před 5 lety

    Rick I am a beginner golfer and I have been watching all your videos over the past year or two and your tips have helped improve my game tremendously. Just wanted to say thanks and keep the helpful videos coming. Also, love club reviews I’m a student that has little to spend on golf clubs so I enjoy watching previous years reviews. And the videos of club improvement over the past 5 and 10 years. Which help me to know what used clubs to get. Thanks Rick keep doing you!!!

  • @steviek7504
    @steviek7504 Před 4 lety

  • @johncreet1254
    @johncreet1254 Před 6 lety

    Really liked the explanation of why a closed club face is more likely to hit the toe (and reverse). This is not something I had heard explained before but I am pretty sure is relevant to me. Thanks.

  • @bkbinj6320
    @bkbinj6320 Před 3 lety

    Thanks for the foot spray powder tip. It quickly showed me that most of my driver strikes are on the heel. Working on correcting that.

  • @stevedacey6182
    @stevedacey6182 Před 5 lety

    Excellent video. I am currently trying to correct a strong fade/slice and I'll take what I've got from the video to the range.

  • @glennfogarty8382
    @glennfogarty8382 Před 4 lety +1

    Rick I have been watching all of your videos since I subscribed. Love the reviews of all the clubs and your swing shot pointers are spot on and easy to follow. Keep em coming. Played today and used my 8 iron as my new bump and run club inside 20-50 yards. Had been using anything from7 iron and PW and 52 degree but couldnt get the distance down. Worked great, just enough loft and run, new favorite from that distance. Didn't putt anymore than 2x today. Now help me on my fairway 3 wood. I tend to slice it 75% of the time. Thanks. Awesome.

  • @heatherchapman5116
    @heatherchapman5116 Před 3 lety +1

    Thanks Rick, I'm smashing the bump and run thanks to your session on 3 ways to get under 90. Still working on the other tips and recommending you to my mates. Cheers Heather from Aus down under.

  • @joshbates669
    @joshbates669 Před 5 lety +8

    I’ve been teeing off with my hybrid, I lose some yards but as long as I’m in the fairway I always have a shot at the green in 2-3 depending on the yardage, my driver slices so bad and usually end up in the trees and wasting shots getting back in middle.

    • @frankensteinracing3520
      @frankensteinracing3520 Před 3 lety +1

      I k ow what you mean I was teeing off with my 5 wood because I was in reality getting just as far as my driver because I didn’t have to drive through trees. But having been watching shiels videos and going over to the Rec grounds and hitting balls using his tips I’m now far more confident with my driver and finding more fairways now.

  • @eilandsparadise3571
    @eilandsparadise3571 Před 6 lety

    I’ve always had a terrible driver swing and inconsistent until I’ve watched ricks videos I just recently stumbled upon hitting almost 300 yards which I’ve never done!! Little did I know having a little torso angle made all the difference gained a lot more distance and consistency in my driver! Thanks!

  • @kenpfenning3510
    @kenpfenning3510 Před rokem

    Your lesson on body weight transfer on fairway irons and hybrids was great. A 65/35 made a real difference in striking the ball first. Many thanks.

  • @Chulo0210
    @Chulo0210 Před 6 lety

  • @markcampion4358
    @markcampion4358 Před 5 lety

    I watched this on Thursday and played Friday and used the foot powder idea and really helped me find out how high to set my tee and to move my club back a bit on address. Very helpful!!!

    Rick, I’m a huge fan. Haven’t been playing long but I have made STRIDES since I have picked the game up 10 months ago. Already a 12 handicap but my biggest opportunity is the big stick. Would love to come get actual lessons from you man. Been watching u since I started. Hit me up please I’d come to u no prob!

  • @puksindheep7561
    @puksindheep7561 Před 5 lety

  • @gcoffey223
    @gcoffey223 Před 3 lety

    I have never struggled off the TEE. Yesterday I switched to the Tiger ball. Loved it on long, short, scoring irons. Around the green I have not seen it's equal as far as stopping and checking up. Off the tee I kept topping the ball. Minus 2 TREMENDOUS shots, the rest were garbage. A few times I would take a second drive with a pro v1.... no problems. Was it the ball or the many many beers??? Probably the beers huh? Still a great ball.

    @lvldarwin Před rokem

    Ok Rick. You're my guy now. Played maybe 5 times a year for the last 20 years and am looking at going pro in the next 18 months. I usually slice my drives (if I get on to them), top my irons and have only broken 90 once. But I did cheat a little. Heading to the range tonight and hitting the course tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

    always great advice, just bought a used R1 driver this weekend for $89, took it out today and had a miserable experience. The R1 however has many options to tailor to your particular swing. Im going to take it to the driving range this week and fing my settings. I also felt my grip was atrocious as well so im going to check out your video on that as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

    @RichieCat4223 Před 5 lety

    Your last comment I just found out about. Very, very slowly swing the club to impact I saw my club face was closed. I had a "strong" grip. Put my thumbs straight down the shaft and my club face was square to the ball at impact. Feels strange but I'll get use to it.

  • @Moviefreak1989

  • @Punkologist
    @Punkologist Před 4 lety

    Great video, I have pretty much been getting all these things wrong. I'll be at the driving range tomorrow and I look forward to setting the tee higher and the ball position further forward. No wonder I have had a tendency to top the ball and make it curve down like a perfect free kick for a football player. I also need to learn (think it's more a confidence thing) to properly take a full back swing, I tend to shorten it up a bit looking for more accuracy.
