Re: help with pitching please

Here's my best pitching tips (for right-handed players):

- Take a comfortable stance where the feet are somewhat closer together compared to a full swing. Weight evenly distributed
- If you like, open up your stance a little (i.e align your feet to the left of the target). Not necessary, but will probably make you feel less "cramped"
- Place the ball approximately centered between your *ankles* - NOT your feet!
- Swing as if you are swinging for a full shot but only take the club up to 25, 50 or 75% of your full swing
- Finish should be at least as long as backswing
- If you tend to hit fat, move the ball back slightly. If you tend to hit thin, move the ball forward a little
- Practice, practice, practice!
- Practice, practice, practice!
- Practice, practice, practice!
- Practice, practice, practice!

Good luck
