with pitch shots you are throwing the ball up in the air so it is coming down when it lands more than forward, so you shouldn't have much roll anyway. I can use a distance ball and have little roll on a pitch shot. I'l talking 2 to 3 yards. With a spin ball like the pro v1 i will have less than 2 yards of roll more of a bounce and stop. unless it is landing on a forward slope then their is not much you can do.
