Advanced Techniques on Pitching

Here are some advanced techniques on pitching

How to control distance

Distance control is a very important factor in shooting lower scores, the ability to put the ball close enough to the hole that you have some feasible birdie putts

Tempo- Tempo determines the distance the golf ball will travel to the hole. Faster tempo for longer pitch shots, and slower tempo for shorter shots.

Length of Backswing- The length of your backswing will also influence how far the golf ball will travel on your pitch shots. The longer the back swing the more potential for speed. Thus the golf ball will travel a longer distance. The shorter the backswing, the less distance the ball will travel.


Combine these two effective techniques, and you will much closer to the flagstick on your pitch shots
