I Gave Rick Shiels A Golf Lesson

u/cloroxic 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Anything I could do to improve my swing? 10-12 handicapper, want to be more consistent”

You need to hit down on the ball with your irons. You are scooping it, which leads to a lot of inconsistency with the iron game. I have been doing this drill and I am already seeing improvements! ▶ this video

u/LakituIsAGod 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “Any advice? Chunking the ball 50% of the time ”

I’m just starting out and have been having the same issue. For me early extension of the trail wrist was the culprit and what really helped was to picture throwing my wrist not at the ball itself but past the lead foot. I highly recommend ▶ this video and especially the line in the sand drill around 3 mins. It’ll help you get instant feedback and your lowpoint and tinker with the wrist throw until you get the timing …

▶ this video Watching this video changed how I thought about swinging, specifically about how to take a divot. The sand in the line drill was the single biggest game changer for me personally, and seeing him do it with 100% consistency really emphasized to me how important that was.

Looks really good for a beginner! Like another commenter said, keep your body over the ball, or at least keep your “centerline” in one place while your hips and shoulders rotate around the centerline. My favorite drill of all time for anyone looking to improve in any capacity is ▶ this video If you can become consistent with your ball striking, it will really completely change your game!

u/GolfSoSimple 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “Low Point Control question.”

The YT video with Bryon and Rick is legend ▶ this video Rick, a teaching pro, cannot control the low point properly. There you go. My experience is that the timing of the release, the amount of lag and side bend have the most influence on the low point. Try to exaggerate and hit thin shots first (late and steep release, high left shoulder). Then, release a little earlier and feel the change in your timing. You have …

On brysons youtube channel he coachs rick shiels on the very same, has a super simpel, and cool practice routine. Requires something of you club to practice with ball but you should be able to do it without in any club. ▶ this video

Bryson showed Rick Shiels a great way to work on your contact if you’re hitting it thin or fat. Draw a line in a bunker and swing an iron so that you contact the ground just after the line. You will want to make a significant impact with the sand without digging a hole. ▶ this video

▶ this video This is a very good drill to take more divots and compress the ball better. two very polorizing figures in yt golf but the bunker drill is excellent. to increase hip movement do half swings and quarter swings and try to hit it as far as possible. John Rahm did this alot and its the very reason he can get by with his swing. good hip movent should yield shots that go 75% ish of a stock shot. do 3-4 half …

u/This-City-7536 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Be gentle”

Looking fantastic for a beginner brother man. As a general rule if you're hitting in fat, the low point of your swing arc is behind the ball. Get your weight into your front foot and drive those hands into the ground. This is fundamental 0 in golf, I cannot stress how important it is to get this right. ▶ this video to this video and start at 2:30.

u/jimarkuss 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “34 HCP — roast me”

For someone of your handicap, although your swing is by no means excellent, you dont have any extreme faults (ie over the top or early extension) meaning you could develop a decent swing easier than others. I think someone else mentioned this, they said swing with some purpose. In some ways they are correct. You don't have much force through the impact zone. Id highly recommend that you watch this entire video - ▶ …
