A common mistake amateurs make when pitching is either hitting the ground first (heavy) or hitting the middle of the ball (thin) One of the main reasons for this is not understanding the correct angle of attack required to play the shot successfully Most golfers try to scoop the ball up the air resulting in numerous mis-hits A descending angle ... more of attack is needed to achieve a consistent strike correct spin and most importantly a good shot
The key points in the set-up are:

• Hands ahead of the ball
• Weight 60/40 on left side (right handed golfer)
• Ball positioned in the middle of your stance
