The first thing you need to concern yourself with when faced with a short-sided pitch shot is the loft – we want this shot going high in the air and landing softly. You’ll want to expose the bounce so that it won’t dig into the turf.
To maintain the bounce angle, we need to engage our wrists throughout the swing. You’re going to want to start with an extended or cupped wrist through the golf swing with arm swing and body motion.
