Short Pitch
January 10, 2010 by Admin
photo credit: Claus Rebler The short pitch shot should be hit crisply and firmly. Take the club back slightly on the outside of the line and swing through on a slightly inside path. This will create a high cut-shot. The outside-in swing path is negated by an open stance.
Take a backswing that is just a bit longer than you think you may need. The ball tends to fall short because the amount of backspin creates more lift and height. If your grip is too low on the club you tend to push instead of hitting the ball, doing so results in a shot without backspin leading to an uncontrollable roll once it lands on the green.
Throughout the shot, keep your weight on your lead foot and use an open stance. Don't quit on the shot.
