There are many types of pitching shots. We will cover two essential pitching shots which are as follows:
- The pitch and run shot; and
- The lob shot.
Pitching is part of the short game. The short game is when you are not using the full swing when hitting the ball. The reason is the distance factor, as shown in the image above. By using the full swing, you will be hitting the ball too far, past your target.
The set up:
Your stance and body position should be narrower and more open (facing the target) than a full shot. Grip down on the club for better control and play the ball closer to your feet. Position the ball inside the left heel. The upper body, arms, and hands, should be relaxed so they can be guided by the movement of the shoulders, as shown by a left-handed player in the images above.
Ball position:
Remember that feet position and ball position are a preference. I recommend placing your feet in a slightly open stance and placing your ball inside your front heel (left foot for the right-hand player), as shown in the image above.
PITCH AND RUN SHOT:
Length of the swing:
Notice the extension of the left arm as the swing is almost at the 9 o’clock position, as shown in the image above.
The follow-through is almost at 3 o’clock and the weight has shifted to the left side with the body turned more towards the target, as shown in the image above.
I consider the pitching shot as the 3rd swing in golf. It is usually done with either the pitching wedge or the sand wedge and the results of the shots have a relatively high trajectory.
A rule of thumb is to carry the ball 2/3 of the distance in the air and let it roll the other 1/3.
The extension of your arms, during the follow-through, is a preference for the player. You can either leave your arms extended or slightly folded whichever feels more comfortable and gives better results. It is similar to the chipping swing but only longer, as shown in the images above.
Again, the swing is initiated with the shoulders and arms and ranges from approximately 9 o’clock to approximately 3 o’clock, as shown in the image above. Make sure your hands stay ahead of the clubhead throughout the forward swing (no breaking of your wrists), as shown in the images above.
