Pitching

Pitching is defined as any short shot where ball flies as much as it rolls. Pitching from a good lie can give you a great chance of saving a stroke. Here are the essentials. 1. Ball position is determined by the height you want to hit the ball. The farther back in your stance the lower the ball flight and conversely the farther forward in your stance the higher the ball flight will be. 2. Lean the shaft forward toward the target opposite your left thigh. 3. Position the majority of your body weight on your left foot and keep it there. 4. Swing back twice as far as you think. Remember that you are not producing any power from your body. All of the power comes from the swinging of the arms. 5. Keep the grip end of the club in front of the club head through the entire motion. That is it for the technique. A very simple solution to a shot that causes some people a lot of problems.
