In golf pitching is a very important aspect. However, it is often ignored by most beginner golfers. Let us concentrate on the grip and swing to facilitate your pitching.
When taking your grip, put the grip slightly in front of the ball and then assume your normal grip. Pitching in golf requires simply a shortened version of your full swing. This is a half swing back and a half swing through. The swing is made by your upper and lower body rotating your arms around your spine's axis. Because it's a bigger swing than a chip there will be a soft hand action. You balance on the ball of your feet throughout to make sure that the club head swings square and straight to the ball line for accurate contact and direction. The weight is on your left foot throughout to make sure the club swings down at the ball so the loft of the golf club makes the ball fly. Make sure your body faces the target when you finish your swing, as your body always leads your arms and hands.
Use these techniques with the grip and swing during set up, and improve your pitching in golf.
