We come to an end the first week of our new Video Blog series and today is Short Game Saturday! Each Saturday, we will cover a different part of the short game that will help you lower your scores and have more fun on the golf course! Today we cover pitching. The pitch shot is the foundation of the golf swing. If you cannot pitch correctly, you cannot play golf correctly! Simple as that. So spend some time on the range working on this, and your game will thank you.
There are 3 key elements you should work on in the pitch shot
Weight Forward.
Keep the weight on the forward foot the entire swing. This helps deliver a downward blow for more spin and more height.
Lead arm straight.
This helps control the bottom of the arc. If the left arm is not constantly straight, the arc's bottom will be different on every shot. This causes topped and bladed shots.
Body Rotation.
This is not an arms shot. Once you are at the top of the swing, clear the lead side as quickly as possible without speeding up the arms. Good shots will be the result!
