Most golf players always make these 2 errors when they pitching: One is swing error and another is stand in the wrong position. Stand in the wrong position will lead the second error. Most golfers' front feet are far away from the ball positions when they ready to pitching, so the weight is shifting to their back feet.
This has a great impact on your aiming, your feet will be pointing in the right side (on the left for left-hand players), and the shoulder is too open to the target direction. This kind of preliminary motion make your hand placed in the rear of the ball, and the club face lifted off the ground.
The result of this is you may so easily shot light, and the trajectory will be much lower than expected. This kind of preliminary motion make the swing plane very low, more depend on a rotation of your body rather than your wrist. The ball can not be straight or slice as your expectation.
1, the correct standing position will not only make your the lower part be more stable, but also make you pitching your ball with the pitching wedge in yourx-22 irons at a more comfortable position. When you make a correct standing position, your legs should be relaxed with the feet falling out wards, then pointed at the left side(left-handed players bit on the right) of the target line, make your arms, shoulders and the target line be perpendicular or parallel.
2, the ball is located in the middle of stations, run a little knees, the body weight transfer to the forefoot. Hand-bit pushed to the front of the ball near the right (left player was close to the left) thigh.
3, in order for the club in the correct swing plane, grip can not be too hard to ensure the club in the wrist driven swing, swing the rod when approaching stopped vertex, so that feeling of pitching hand lever must be gently reaction. We generally recommend players to make their movement began, first turning the stomach, back again target direction, when the club placed after the location in the chest, then swing the club in the same position on the other side stops.
4, and turned to help control the distance, while the wrist to club level with the experience of the feeling of movement from the top down. A good way to practice swing when the ball trajectory pitching - an umbrella on the lawn vertical from right leg (left leg near the left player is about 30 cm.
Now we can concentrate on the wrist and elbow swing. Pay attention not to touch the umbrella. It dose not matter if you touch the umbrella at the beginning time, just help yourself to can try several times until you will not touch the umbrella. Then you can change the position to the other side of the umbrella and practice again. Through to the position of your front foot and umbrella, you can check if your position of backswing is as same as your forward swing.
