2 Awesome Pitching Drills To Lower Your Scores

PGA Advanced Fellow Alistair Davies demonstrates two effective home drills to improve pitching consistency and feel. The tutorial focuses on keeping the trail arm connected to the ribcage and utilizing an underarm throwing motion to achieve soft, controlled pitch shots around the green.

• Synchronize the trail elbow with the ribcage to prevent the arms from working independently of the body.
• Practice pitching one-handed to master the 'underarm throw' release, which improves loft and spin control.
• Maintain a narrow stance and ensure your center of mass is forward to stabilize the low point of the swing.
• A proper release should feel like the clubface is pointing back at your face after impact for soft landing shots.
