PGA-certified instructor Dan Grieve demonstrates three essential pitching drills designed for the 30-80 yard range. By focusing on arm-body connection, grounded foot stability, and a shallow angle of attack off a high tee, golfers can improve strike consistency, control ball flight, and maximize backspin.
Set up with a stance width of about two club heads, flare the lead foot, and ground pressure through the feet.
Maintain connection between your triceps and torso to prevent excessive arm drive.
Squeeze a practice bag between your feet during setup to quiet sway and stabilize the pivot.
Clip pitch shots off a driver-height tee to shallow out your path and strike low on the clubface for higher spin.
