Developing a reliable pitch (a short -match shot that, as its name suggests, mainly carries in the air, but with good release after it strikes the ground) is a valuable asset that can make you very closed by a variety of Greenside situations, even if you have an obstacle to perform. Is less dangerous than a lobster shot And it works perfectly in complex tight lies.
Configuration? Simple: Play the ball in the middle of your stay and make sure the control at your wedge points in the middle of your sternum. Balance your weight evenly over both feet. When you swing, focus on returning your upper back body and through – you don’t need much foot action here. Your upper body is the engine; Your wings are only for travel.
Practice the feeling by placing control in the abdomen and clinging to the shaft. Then simply rotate your upper back body and through, maintaining the club’s connection to your stomach all the way. Keeping your arms by moving in synchronous with your chest is what helps produce a fresh strike and shallow start-and the result you need to get the ball all the way to the hole.
