How to Strike Your Pitch Shots From 30 - 80 Yards Every Time!

Struggling with pitch shots from 30 to 80 yards? That awkward distance that's too far for a chip shot but too short for a full swing is where most golfers drop unnecessary shots every single round — and it's almost always fixable with three simple changes to your golf swing pattern.

Most golf tips for pitching focus on mechanics that make the motion feel more complicated than it needs to be. But when you watch the best players pitch the golf ball, there's nothing complicated happening. Their bodies are stacked, their rhythm is effortless and the club face works with gravity rather than against it. In this golf pitching lesson I want to show you exactly how to recreate that feeling — the same three things I share with every student who comes to me struggling with their short game.

The third technique in this lesson is something a good friend and fellow coach Joe Mayo showed me — and I'll be honest, it completely changed how I think about pitching, chipping and even how to hit irons consistently. If you've been gripping your wedge and trying to lift the ball into the air, this one is going to feel like a revelation.

If your chip shots feel reasonable but pitch shots still feel jerky and inconsistent, these three golf swing patterns will change that. The same principles that create a consistent golf swing apply directly to your pitching — and once you feel all three working together, that awkward yardage becomes one of the most satisfying shots in the game.
