Re: help with pitching please

Here's some good advice I picked up off of the golf channel watching one of Dave Pelz's shows on pitching:
  • Shorter backswing
  • Make sure you ACCELERATE through the ball. Natural tendency is to go back too far and then DECELERATE. It will totally destroy your pitch shots.
On his show, he showed very clearly how higher handicaps take to too big of a backswing and then decel through the ball. He advocates thinking to yourself, as the club comes back think the work "SAAWWISH" and then when the club comes back through the ball think "SWISH" to emphasize the acceleration through the ball.
