Pitching (5–100 yd. range)
- Land your shots inside of 8 ft. to get into the scoring zone. Putting percentage becomes 50%.
- Use neutral grip, not strong or putting grip.
- Change your club grips at least once a year.
- Ball position should lie in the middle of your stance. It's all about stability.
- Hinging your left wrist is key.
- Practice a dragging motion follow-through with your left arm.
Seve's Secrets
- Work on pitching it with a 5-iron.
- Keep left shoulder down on the down swing.
- Compete with friends when practicing.
Drills
- Place towels out in front at different distances and try to land pitches onto them.
- Shuffle the club back-and-forth repeatedly, then walk up to the ball and hit it. This maintains a loose arm swing.
