PurePoint Golf Instruction – Pitching Golf Setup & Distance Control
I'm convinced that the golf setup is so important for
chipping, let alone pitching. This is where it has to be
just perfect, when you're all ready to pull that trigger.
So, let's go over the golf setup step by step, so the next
time you go out you'll have a better idea how to stand to
the golf ball.
If you're wanting to pitch the golf ball up, you take a
lofted golf club with you; okay, a pitching wedge, a sand
wedge, or any of your wedges.
The second thing in the golf setup, is that the ball
doesn't have to go right in the middle of your stance. If
you've been struggling, put it in the middle of your
stance. But if you want to hit it a little softer and
higher, you could put it just a hair forward in your stance.
So, you now have the ball position from center to just
forward.
The next part is put 60%, 70% of your weight on your left
leg, and when you do that push the handle over.
Now, that's how simple it is: ball in the middle, a little
bit of weight on your left leg, maybe 70%, and then push
the handle over.
What that's going to do, and here's the tip of all tips.
When you start your backswing, make sure that your arms
start back, but don't slide your body. This will make you
hit the ground behind it, top it, or skull it over the
green.
So, again, weight on the left leg, the handle's on the left
side. Let the arms go away from you without your body
moving.
This golf setup will enable you to hit down on it a little
bit and not up on it where you would skull it.
Now, let's spend a couple minutes on learning a golf
instruction swing tip on how to control the different
distances that you want your pitch shots to travel.
Now, when you chip you have one golf swing, so your control
is from the different golf clubs that you use. If you want
to hit a short chip, use a 9 iron. If you want to hit a
long chip, you'll need to use a 5 iron.
But when you pitch, you change your golf swing, not just
the club you use. It's pretty simple but it's not easy to
do. You have to practice it.
The first golf instruction swing tip is if you want a small
pitch, your golf club goes parallel to the ground in the
backswing. That's the length that it goes. So, when it's
right at parallel, I'm pretty sure you can tell it's not up
in the air and it's not just that far back. But it's
parallel.
If you want to pitch it a little bit further, take it back
where the shaft is sticking in the ground. The butt of the
club is ticking straight down, and this will go a little
bit further.
And lastly is when you take a full golf swing but just with
the arms, not with the body. That's your longest pitch shot.
See, I have three wedges. So, I have a 60-degree, my sand
wedge, and a pitching wedge. Each wedge has 3 different
shots so I have 9 shots total.
If you own two wedges and three different length
backswings, that's six golf shots you have in your bag.
Good luck with those golf instruction swing tips and hang
in there.
