Long Pitch

Long Pitch

The Long Pitch: This shot is closely connected to the full swing. We will be trying to get 85% of the distance out of the most lofted wedge we have. It will be rare to ever play a wedge at full power for this will make the ball travel too high, with too much backspin and inconsistent distances. Now, we place our hands on the club at the top of the handle to give the club/lever its full power. Our feet widen to the full width of our hips to create the ability to fully pivot. This full pivoting motion will then allow our arms to swing on the clock dial from 10 o’clock to 2 o’clock. The accumulation of these adjustments let the club, arms and body to maximize the distance of our turning and swing.
