Simple Formula: Improve Your Pitch Shots, Improve Your Game

Online, March 14, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Hey, everyone!

So, here is a simple formula. Improve your pitch shots and you will improve your game. Umm, duhh Dave. Yeah, I know it seems simple, but the only reason I said that is that is the #1 ignored aspect of most golfers game.

--------------------------------
The ability to get up and down consistently from around the green is what separates the good players from the "fringe" players on the PGA Tour. Never did I find this to be as true as when I made some special wedges for Corey Pavin years ago while I was at Cleveland Golf.

The high flop shot can be very scary for most players. That's because you have to commit to the shot. Speed throughout the hitting area is essential; swing too slow and you will hit the shot heavy, too fast and there is a chance to hit the shot thin.

Start by placing the ball forward in your stance, open the clubface and place your hands slightly behind the ball at address. Use a full wrist cock on your backswing, keeping your hands slightly behind the ball through impact.

Mastering this shot takes a lot of practice, so don't get discouraged; the more you practice it, the more proficient you will become at it.
Hitting the medium pitch shot

For the medium-trajectory pitch shot, play the ball toward the middle of your stance, and place your hands directly over the ball.
