Ways To Hit A Crisp Pitch Shot

There are ways to hit a target pitch shot when the ball lies a sealed way 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."

You need to a "check test" before your pitch shot. Then you have to  examine wherever your ball lies. There are 3 areas in which your ball will most likely lie.  The first way is in a sitting up position in the fairway. 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. Lets look at how we can hit a perfect crisp pitch shot in these scenarios .

When the ball is sitting up- This means the ball is resting above the grass. When pitching from the fairway, you want to keep your stance the same, and place the ball in the center of your feet. Here your swing will bottom out with the spot of your ball. You will be able to hit your pitch shots better without any interference. 

When the ball is sitting slightly 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. Set your hands in front of your zipper, and lean your shaft towards your target.  Doing this causes you to hit the ball first and not the turf.

When the ball is in a deep rough- This means half or just about all of your ball is in deep grass. Place the ball toward your front foot. Now, keep your hands in front of your zipper, and swing at the ball to bottom out.  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.
