Chris Ryan demonstrates two essential post-impact adjustments to help golfers hit higher, softer pitch shots around the green. By allowing the lead elbow to flex after impact and keeping the club grip close to the body, golfers can maintain loft and increase spin.
Flex your lead elbow through impact to create separation between your elbows (a deliberate 'chicken wing' position).
Keep the club grip close to your side during the follow-through to maintain high loft through contact.
Pair these post-impact movements with a high-lofted wedge to launch shots higher and soft-landing with more spin.
