How To Hit A Crisp Pitch Shot

Hitting the perfect pitch shot is determined by how the ball lies. You don't have to change anything about your position most of the time. You just have to play the ball the way it lies. So first you need your "check test."

Before any pitch shot, you want to do a check test. this means you want to examine where your ball lies. There are 3 areas in which your ball will most likely lie.  The first scenario is if the ball is sittting in an upward position. This means it's above or standing on the grass.  The second way is if the ball is sitting in a slight rough. And third way is if the ball sitting in a deep rough. If you follow these 3 steps, you will hit a perfect pitch shot. Lets take a look at these 3 situations.

When the ball is sitting up-This is where the ball is sitting above the grassYou want to keep your stance the same, and the ball in the center of your feet when pitching from the fairway.  Here your swing will bottom out with the spot of your ball. This is the best way to hit your pitch shots because there is no interference from grass.

When the ball is sitting reasonably down in the rough- This is when the ball is not all the way deep in the grass and not even half way deep, but about 3/4's deep.  Here, you will position the ball in the back of the center of your stance. You want your shaft to lean towards your target, so you want to set your hands in front of your zipper. Doing this causes you to hit the ball first and not the turf.

When the ball is in a deep rough-This is where half of your ball is deep in the grass Place the ball toward your front foot. Play the ball where your swing bottoms out, and keep your hands in front of your zipper. This will make your shaft lean away from the target The loft of your club is doing the most work, and gives you a large clubface.
