Stance, Posture & Technique Now that you’re gripped and aimed, let’s get your body ready to make that perfect pitching motion.
Your Stance
• Narrower Base: For pitch shots, it’s usually best to have a narrower stance than your full swing. About shoulder- width apart is also perfectly acceptable and provides a solid base. • Ball Position: Place the ball in the middle of your stance. (Imagine a picture showing the ball in the middle of a slightly narrower stance.)
Your Posture
• Bend from Hips: Once you’ve set your stance, bend forward from your waist, maintaining a straight spine angle. • Soft Knees: Introduce a slight flex or “softness” in your knees. This helps you stay
athletic and balanced throughout the swing.
