A Pitch Swing For 4 Different Shots

You see this?

This famous short game expert demonstrates a horizontal backswing and vertical follow-through using four different wedges (64°, 60°, 56°, and 50°). 

Each wedge produces a different type of shot: the 64° creates a soft lob that stops quickly, the 60° delivers a normal lob that runs out a bit, the 56° gives a standard pitch that runs out more, and the 50° results in a running pitch that carries halfway to the hole. 

here's how to execute each shot

Better Ball Striking

This well-known instructor emphasizes the importance of proper setup and backswing to generate speed while maintaining a position slightly behind the golf ball. 

He explains that during the downswing, golfers should allow their body to unwind while keeping their upper body tilted. 

This technique helps maintain an upward angle of attack when striking the ball, which is crucial for achieving good distance and direction. He warns against using only the arms to hit the ball, as this can lead to a downward strike and undesirable shot shapes, such as slicing.
