1. Check the bounce on your wedges

When you’re selecting a club for a pitch shot, you want to select one with a high amount of loft and bounce. Bounce is, in a nutshell, a rounded bottom of your club which prevents the club from digging. Think of it like a flat side of the stone as it skips across water.

2. Posture matters

It always surprises me when my student has perfect full swing posture, only to default to a sloppy, squatty posture on their shorter shorts. When this happens, you’ll struggle to make consistent contact.

3. Center your setup

In order to use the bounce properly, you need to set up properly in order to engage your club’s technology. I want to see the markings on your grip centered, so it’s running perpendicular to the ground. The shaft should also be centered in the middle of your feet.

4. Never lift the ball

It’s counterintuitive, but in order to get the ball up, you need to hit down. If you try to lift the ball into the air, you’ll most likely catch the ball thin. It’ll go too far and very low.

5. Swing size controls distance

Part of what makes pitching so tricky is that you can’t just make solid contact, you also have to control the distance to a specific degree.

6. Tweak your setup

One extremely helpful way of controlling your swing size is to alter your setup to help you do it. Narrowing your stance and the location you place your hands on the grip and chance the size of your swing.

7. Swing should be relatively equal

Now that we know the size of your swing backswing controls distance, you may be wondering about your follow through. And while not all golfers make the same identical motion, I believe your backswing and follow through should be relatively equal on pitch shots to keep a good rhythm.

For pitches and all golf shots, it’s also important to keep these tips in mind: 1 Be familiar with every routine. Every shot is unique but if there is one thing that should be consistent, it’s your routine. Again, frequent practice will help you establish a routine that’s more effective and comfortable for you. 2 At address, place more weight on your front foot. This is one thing that may seem very basic, yet it can be often ignored by many players, especially beginners. This is beneficial in terms of being able to keep your body stable upon swinging. To be more specific, I recommend that 60% of your weight is on your left foot (for right-handed players) and 40% will is on your right foot.

Golf chipping tips: common denominators. Mind your Stance. The positions mentioned above are more concerned with handling the club during the swing. You should also be mindful of your stance , which is vital in generating the power that you need.

1. Clubhead outside hands on takeaway

As Donald says, the club should be further away from the wall on your takeaway for these pitch shots. If it’s not, it can lead to a handle that’s too far ahead of the ball, which will result in chunked pitches.

2. Club left of your body on the way through

As you swing through, Donald wants you to swing around your body, exiting left and stopping when the clubshaft is parallel to both the ground and the wall behind you.
