How To Learn Good Touch

With everybody focusing on putting & chipping, pitching is slowly becoming an underappreciated but important section of the game. But short players who do not reach greens & long hitters that lack complete accuracy have to use pitching in order to still make pars.

Some of the very strongest pitchers are at their fundamentals in good order and as such have created a “feel” for being able to control distance. I’ve worked pretty hard to get better. So here are my two big pitching keys: Take a good shoulder turn backwards & through, so my bigger muscles control the swing, and keep my arms soft. I love how relaxed my arms can appear on film.

I can not put enough stress on the importance of a motionless head when regarding precise iron play and good ball-striking ability – however, you also need to know precisely when to let your head toward the target.

The average player tends to move their heads side to side or up and down while swinging. Up-and-down movement, despite when they occur only fractionally, will have the result of fat or thin shots as your distance from the golf ball increases or decreases. A pulled or pushed shot can often result from having too much side movement, because of an inability to consistently bring back the head to the place it was at address.

During my swing, I try to hold my head perfectly motionless. It will sometime move downward slightly when you strike the ball – just not sideways. So that it doesn’t interfere with my through-swing, I then let it go toward the target immediately after impact occurs.

On bunker shots of forty to fifty yds, I would prefer to use a 9 iron instead of a sand wedge. To get that much distance with a higher lofted club choice, I am fairly likely to either hit under the golf ball & be short or catch the ball in the middle & knock it beyond the green. However, I prefer to reach my target with a 9 iron, by utilizing the bounce from the bottom of the club in order to hit right through the sand with increased room for a mistake.

I like to swing the same way I would using my sand-wedge shot. I then will start by opening up my stance & clubface to my target & gripping down on the handle.Then I take the club back down my stance line & then follow through using an out-to-in motion. My left arm should be stiff when impacting. This helps me avoid from letting my hands go.

Usually the ball comes out fairly low in height, so you should leave room for some extra roll.
