How to Hit a Normal Pitch Shot

► The pitch shot is a short approach shot which goes up in the air first and then lands without moving forward too much. The pitch shot can vary in length from anywhere between 50 yards (45.7 m) to nearly 90–100 yards (82.3–91.4 m). This shot is mostly used to get the ball to fly over bunkers or water hazards which are guarding the green.Hitting a pitch shot to a well bunkered green can be intimidating for many players. Read on to find out an effective method ✔

► Tips
+ Don't forget to hit down on the ball, if you want it to go up in the air!
+ Depending on which grip you use, make sure that the left thumb is favouring the right side of the grip - just right of centre.
+ If you try to hit the ball up in the air, it will do the opposite and go down along the floor! Don't lift or scoop, just hit down with the shaft leaning towards the target!
+ Use an "Open-Stance" to hit your pitches and short shots. You'll find that with the body being a little more "open" you can swing your arms more towards the target. Simply pull the left foot a little way back from the normal "square-stance" and if you just open the toe of your shoe a little to the left as well, you may find your follow through is easier and you can stay in balance better. The reason for this is because with the toe of your left shoe turned out slightly, your left knee can catch your body weight easier than if you had both toes at right angles to your "ball-to-target-line".
+ Although this is just one basic shot in golf, it does need to be mentioned here that the fundamentals still apply. The swing should be done by using your arms.
+ Create good posture before you begin - stand upright, then stick your bottom straight back so that your legs straighten automatically. You will notice as you do this that you have created a good back-angle. Maintain this back-angle and then release the knees. You will notice that your arms hang nicely downwards out of the shoulders.
+ Remember the logo on the grip is positioned in the middle or you may find an arrow at the end of the grip.
+ Use a club with lots of loft. They are easier to hit, because the side spin element is reduced which is not the case as the clubs get longer. Maximum club to use would be a 9 iron unless you want to hit full short irons.
+ Shift your weight over onto the inside of your right foot on the backswing and then as the arms swing down to the ball, let the weight go over onto the left leg. If it straightens at impact, that's fine.
+ Regarding the position where the base of your left thumb and index finger come in contact with each other, make sure that the line they create points past your right shoulder ✔

► Warnings
+ Don't be in too much of a hurry. Keep it rhythmical and enjoyable ✔
