Controlling the trajectory of your pitch shots leads to better performance in the scrambling territory. When you can marry the flight with spin, choosing landing points and executing high-level pitching prowess becomes possible. Here I’m demonstrating 3 basic flight…
Low – Higher handle at address, long arc finish while maintaining wrist angles.
Medium – Normal arm hang at setup, shorten the exit arc slightly through impact, allowing the club to pass the handle
High – Lower handle at address, open face, very short arc during exit, re-hinging the wrists abruptly to increase loft presentation through impact. Learn to master trajectory and you’re on your way to more up and downs.
