A pitch or pitch shot, usually played with a highly lofted club like a pitching or sand wedge, is designed to go a short distance with a high ball flight to land softly on the green.
Pitching Essentials
Here are some basic fundamentals to help you become a better short game player.
- Narrow and open stance.
- Weight favors the target foot.
- Hands, arms, and shoulders form a triangle with the hands ahead of the ball at address position.
- Hinge your wrists on the backswing.
- Weight is retained on target foot.
- Accelerate your swing on the downswing, keep hands moving.
- Keep your target side firm as you finish swing.
- Distance determines the length of the swing.
