Never Blade It Over The Green Again…

I’ve just hit a perfect drive on a relatively short par four…

The kind of ball where everything feels good and the ball just seems to hang in the air…

The kind of ball you’ll spend the rest of the day hoping to feel a swing and contact like that again…

Now, I’m 40 yards out… it should be a simple pitch shot for a birdie putt.

BUT… You already know how this ends…

Naturally, I blade it well over the green… and it’s DEAD back there…

I proceed to chunk the return pitch just 2 feet in front of me…

Finally, I make clean contact and roll a putt to save bogey… that could have been a birdie.

We’ve all been there…

If you struggle with pitching…

        Leaving it short because you always catch it fat…

        Or finding the leading edge on the back of the ball for a screamer over the green…

        Especially, when you’re on an upslope…

The fix is simple…

Pitch shots by definition are less than a full swing…

The shorter the shot, the more likely you are to move into your backswing but forget to shift through the ball, rotating and relocating on your front side.

Which means our weight gets stuck behind the ball…

        Causing you to hit behind the ball…

        Or make a last second adjustment and catch it thin.

But you can cheat by starting with your weight forward and not shifting in your backswing.

Pre-load your front side and keep your weight forward so you are already “through” the ball.

The result is consistently good contact EVERY TIME.

The next time you have a short pitch shot, pre-load your front side, keep your weight on your front leg and enjoy that birdie putt… You earned it.
