Square your stance when pitching

Rob Watts, 23 May 2012 10:28

When using your short irons and wedges, the tendency is often to cut across the ball. But this will lead to a high, spinning ball flight and a lack of distance. As TG Elite Pro Rob Watts explains in this golf video tip, a simpler way to gain a crisp strike and a penetrating ball flight is to square your ...

Maintain loft on pitch shots

Rob Watts, 23 May 2012 10:25

When your pitching action becomes too handsy by flicking at the ball, the likelihood is the clubface is rotating too much through impact, which results in a poor angle of attack, low flight and inconsistent strike. As TG Elite Pro Rob Watts explains in this golf video tip, keeping the loft on the club during the swing will increase the ...

Connection drill for pitching

Rob Watts, 23 May 2012 10:20

The ability to control the distance on pitch shots relies on the syncronisation of the arms and body during the swing. When the arms become separated, they will often move at a different speed, which also affects the quality of the strike. Under your left armpit is often where the left elbow separates from the body in a bid to ...

Lower your loft when chipping into the wind

Adrian Fryer, 16 May 2012 17:14

Chipping into a strong wind provides a nice backstop to allow us to be more positive with a more lofted club and the ball rolling very little on landing. But to gain more control over the flight and roll of the ball, a better option may be to use a less-lofted club, such as an eight iron, and get the ...

Top chipping drill

Noel Rousseau, 13 February 2012 17:03

Hitting your chip shots fat or thin usually comes about because the bottom of your swing arc is in the wrong place (usually too far back), which means the angle of attack is poor. You’ll either hit the ground behind the ball or hit up on the ball causing you to thin the ball across the green. In this golf ...

How to stop fatting your chips

Noel Rousseau, 02 February 2012 14:56

If you suffer from fatting your chip shots, one reason for it could be that you are focusing too intently on the ball during the swing. It may sound daft, but diverting more of your attention away from the ball actually has a positive effect on the strike of your chip shots, as TG Elite Pro Noel Rousseau explains in ...

Tiptoes pitching drill

Gareth Johnston, 02 February 2012 14:52

One of the reasons you may strike pitch shots poorly is because you don’t achieve enough body rotation in your swing. A great drill to increase the amount of turn through the ball and improve your angle of attack is to hit some shots with the right foot up on its toes, as TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston explains in ...

Pitching Sharpie drill

Adrian Fryer, 27 January 2012 16:18

Golfers that thin their pitch shots often make a conscious effort to keep their head down to stop this from happening. But the head actually needs to move with the body in order to strike pitching correctly and accurately. A great drill to improve your pitching consistency is to place a pen in your mouth. Intrigued? Then watch the video ...

Skid don’t dig when chipping

Noel Rousseau, 27 January 2012 16:13

Successful results when chipping, especially from a tight lie, rely on us using the bounce on our wedges correctly. By this, we mean gliding the club underneath the ball using the loft on the club to get the ball in the air. So in your pre-shot routine, try to both hear and feel your wedge skidding along the ground. The ...

Cure chipping yips

Noel Rousseau, 27 January 2012 16:09

One of the main causes of the chipping yips is when the arms and body become locked trying to over-control the action. This increases tension and has a detrimental effect of the strike. As TG Elite Pro Noel Rousseau explains in this golf video tip, the key to curing the chipping yips is to have a free-flowing action. This practice ...
