PITCHING: It’s All About Those High Shots and Soft Landings
Why Use a Pitch Shot? You’ll usually pull out a pitch shot when you need to clear obstacles like bunkers, thick rough, or even water hazards. The magic of the pitch shot is its higher trajectory, which means the ball flies higher and lands softer on the green, often stopping much faster than a chip. The pitch shot is your secret weapon for those tricky distances between a short chip and a full swing, typically ranging from 20 to 90 meters. Think of it as your aerial assault.
• To clear trouble:
Bunkers, deep rough, water.
• For a softer landing:
The ball will fly higher and have more spin, helping it stop quicker on the green.
• When you need more distance control than a chip can offer, but less power than a full swing.
