Remember to practice your follow-through! A good follow-through can add both distance and precision to your shot. Try to finish high with your lead arm for better results.
Yes! I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my distance since I started focusing on my follow-through. It feels great!

Generating power with a pitching wedge doesn’t always mean swinging harder. Focus on technique and let the club do the work. A more controlled swing can often yield better results.
Exactly, sometimes less really is more! It’s about that perfect balance of power and precision.

What about drills for practice? I find it helpful to set up targets on the range to improve my aim and consistency. Any other tips?

That’s an excellent idea! I often practice in front of a mirror to check my form while doing drills. It really boosts my confidence.
Another tip could be to visualize your shot before taking it. Focusing mentally can enhance your physical performance.
So true! I usually picture my ball landing exactly where I want it. It works wonders for my confidence!

I have a friend who believes that swinging harder is the answer. But I’ve seen that it creates inconsistency. Power comes from technique, not brute force
Totally agree! It’s amazing how a relaxed swing can perform better than swinging for the fences!
To improve your pitching wedge swing, practice the 1-2-3 drill: start with half swings, then progress to three-quarter swings, and finally full swings. Focus on maintaining rhythm throughout!

That’s a great way to build consistency! I also recommend using alignment sticks to ensure you’re on target during practice.
For trajectory control, set up a few targets at different heights and distance to challenge your ability to adjust your swing plane accordingly. It’s fun and effective!

Great idea! I’d also suggest trying to hit a draw and fade with your pitching wedge to enhance your shot-making skills.
Another great drill is the ‘tic-tac-toe’ drill. Place balls in a grid pattern and practice landing your shots in each square! It really helps with precision.
I usually focus on my follow-through when using my pitching wedge. Great points from everyone. Do you guys have any tips to ensure a smooth finish?
Definitely! Working on balance during your finish can help. Practice holding your finish pose until your ball lands.
Make sure to experiment with different grips too! Sometimes a slight adjustment can make a world of difference in your touch and performance.
Don’t forget about your stance. A wider base can provide stability, especially when making delicate shots around the green. Anyone tried that?
I have! It really helps me maintain balance. Short game is all about that control, right?
