The ONLY Way To Strike Your Pitch Shots Every Time – Live Golf Lesson

The ONLY Way To Strike Your Pitch Shots Every Time – Live Golf Lesson

So, I was planning out the video this morning on 
how to help you improve your pitching from 30 to 80 yards. That really awkward distance. It’s 
not really a full golf swing. It’s not really chipping. How do you strike it every time? 
And how do you control your distance? Well, Leo says, “That is my nemesis. I’m really, really 
struggling.” So, I thought, well, rather than me actually do the lesson, why don’t we just live 
right now show Leo how to pitch a golf ball from this distance? Because Leo’s a beginner golfer. 
if this pitching technique I’m about to share with you works for Leo. I just know it’ll 
work for you. So, let’s find out. Yeah. Um, like before I get into the golf lesson, look, if 
you’re new to channel, your first lessons of mine, please consider subscribing. I release golf videos 
just like this one every single week to try and help you improve your game. Plus, you never 
have to remember a thing. Everything we do here, I’ll put into a free download or practice guide 
in the description box below. Let’s get started. Cool. Right, Le, let’s find out what what yardage 
we’ve got. So, okay, let’s have a quick look. So, we got 52 yards to go to the actual flag. 
Yeah, it’s awkward yardage. It is. Tell me tell me what you struggle with here. I mean, most of 
the time if I’m lucky to have gotten here, um it’s then my mind going to precision and trying to 
guide it on and it can be quite toppy or thin at times. Just really inconsistent. Okay. And not not 
really like a fluid golf swing. I feel like I’m sort of jolty and trying to add like especially 
with this distance 50 yards. They’d be like, “Right, it’s sort of a weird half full swing 
in my mind.” And then, yeah, it might just top every A lot of people struggle. They don’t know 
whether it’s a is it a like a chipping action? Is it a full swing action? So, I think when you 
get to this yardage, Yeah. it’s much more down to full You’re much closer to a full golf swing. And 
that’s what we want to be focusing on, right? So, let’s see you hit a few shots. Sure. Um, see 
what you’ve got. So, this is definitely more more towards full swing uh mechanics. And then 
we’ll see if we can make some progress. Okay. Okay. I mean, distance wise, it 
got there. He’s gone. He’s got to be got there. Okay. Okay. That’s f first 
shot of the day. First shot of the day. A little bit heavy. Yeah. So, it’s a good 
example, isn’t it? So, so first one being a bit thin. Yeah. And then second one actually 
going up in the air, but it’s caught a bit heavy, comes off top of the club and and comes up short. 
So, so to control distance, the very first thing we need to work on is making sure you’ve got some 
solid contact, right? And we’ve been doing some good work with your swing, right? And it’s very, 
very similar here. So, the first thing, Leah, I think would probably really kind of build your 
confidence is if you can make solid contact. Yep. Every single time. Right. Now, to do that, it’s 
easier than most people realize. You’ve just got to make sure that the bottom of your swing arc is 
always ahead of that golf ball. Right. Okay. Now, on that previous shot, for instance, it was behind 
the golf ball. Yeah. And on the previous one, it was also behind the golf ball, but now too 
much. And you’ve thinned it. Right. Right. So, we want to get the bottom of your golf swing ahead 
of the golf ball. Now, I want you to just look at my body here and tell me what you notice. Yeah. 
That way behind then forward. What have I done? Yeah. Shifted your legs and pelvis by the looks 
of it. Exactly. Yeah. Right. So you can see here, this pelvis is now ahead of the golf ball. So 
the further this is ahead of the golf ball, the more chance of you you’ve got of 
bottoming out your swing after the golf ball and as a byproduct making solid contact. 
Okay. Okay. So a simple drill to start with, right? And then we’ll work into a proper exercise. 
So all I’m going to get you to do is get yourself set up here. Ball middle of stance. Important 
here. shaft lean forming almost like a straight line between your lead arm and club. Okay. 
Right. Then what I’m going to get you to do is this. I want you to put widen your stance 
a little bit with your right foot and point it outwards. And the idea here is I’m going to I’m 
using that right foot. Look to do what? Push. Okay. The pelvis forward and leave it there. So 
you see how my right leg is almost locking out a little bit. Yeah. Now that’s going to keep 
my pelvis forward. If my pelvis is forward, you’ve seen the advantage look of doing what? 
Yeah. It’s going to keep that bottom of the swing after the golf ball. Sure. From here, I don’t 
want you to just stand still. I’m still going to move and and and rotate a little bit. Yeah. Okay. 
But I’m now look almost guaranteeing strike. So, that’s the first thing we’re going to work on 
is helping you guarantee strike. Keeping that pelvis fixed. Yeah. Pivoting over the golf ball 
so it’s not moving around or falling backwards. Okay. Sure. Super super simple. Right. So, you’d 
say with the pelvis, it’s not I’m moving towards that bit mid through swing. It’s like you’re 
presetting it. You’re presetting it. Right now, in a in a in a normal golf swing, right, in a 
power swing where you’re really after power, great question, by the way. You would naturally 
want to see that, right? That’s going to add power. We don’t want that. This is about 
controlled um speed and controlled distance. So, we we’re almost presetting it. Sure. So, that you 
just need to just be do a beautiful pivot back and through. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. So, right 
foot bit out as if I’m locking. Well, yes. Just like you’re locking the knee and what you feel 
like you’re pushing that pelvis. It’s like pu it’s almost like pushing that pelvis slightly 
further forward. Angle that shaft forward as well. There you go. There you go. Beautiful. And 
then just from there, you see you’re just pivoting around there. That’s it. Okay. Yeah. There you 
go. Nice. Pause. Now you can see here you’re just starting those hands are start to drift back bit 
behind. Yeah. You see that? Yeah. Okay. There we go. Keep that lead arm and club forming a lovely 
straight line. There you go. Okay, that’s it. Listen to that sound. Yeah. Wow. Way more solid. 
Hit contact. Completely different sound, wasn’t it? Yeah, it was. Now, distance control is going 
to cover. That was a completely different sound, right? You you know, so do the same thing again. 
Make sure there’s no enough no enough flute. Now, the key thing here is this. Make sure as you’re 
doing this, that handle, that shaft lean. Yeah. Stays forward. Now, tell me what makes this feel 
a bit awkward. you want to do here. What’s Why are you doing this, do you think? I think it’s hoping 
to get it up more, right? You know, I I always have the vision of really high shot onto the 
green and trying to make contact under the ball. Exactly. Right. And and this is what I I see this 
a lot with a lot of players and what you’ll see with any great player when that you I’m I’ve given 
you a 60 degree 60°ree wedge here. Right. Great players will launch that incredibly low. Okay? 
Right. Now, the advantage of using a 60° here, a lofty club from 55 yards is this. It allows us 
to come beautifully down on the golf ball. So, I’m delofting the 60. Yeah. Right. Which 
gives me solid contact. Okay. If you’re trying to If you start the more you start to 
kind of add loft and leave those hands back, what are you doing now? Yeah. Going behind. You’re 
going behind again. Sure. So, angling it forward. That’s why we choose 60 so that it enables us 
to angle everything forward. lean everything forward so we can still get enough height to 
stop it on the green. But the secret here, when you come down on the golf ball, you get backspin, 
right? All right. As well as strike. Okay, cool. Okay. So, feel that push. That’s it. Pushing that 
pelvis. Now, you’re going to pivot around. Lovely, lovely rhythm, by the way. Lovely 
rhythm. Let’s get that handle forward. Nice. Yeah, that felt really good. And like I 
hit head of the ball, I think. Yeah, exactly. So, so and that’s the point you the first thing all 
the time is is making sure you’ve got a motion that guarantees strike each and every single 
time. Right. Sure. So, Calvin more time. Now, what I would say with this one here is when you’re 
when you’re doing this, just be aware that when this foot comes back here, which we’re going to 
bring it back, right? Okay. We keep that next to almost like an imaginary wall here. We’re not 
swaying off. We’re pivoting on that that stays on the wall there. And then you come back in. We’re 
not moving into the wall like we’re doing a normal swing. We’re pivoting back and pivoting through. 
We’ll start there. Y and then there’s uh one more thing I want you to work on in terms of your arms 
are just disconnecting a little bit from the body, which is going to affect your consistency. Okay, 
we’ll work on that in a second. Cool. Again, all this is about doing things that are going to 
control the bottom of your golf swing. Okay. So, imagine that’s sort of Yeah. Just imagine 
that’s against the wall. There you go. And you pivot. Yeah. You’re holding that against 
the wall. You’re going to pivot. You’re not going to You’re not in a sense, it’s not rigid 
like you’re not moving. It’s pivoting. Sure. Yeah. Around. There you go. Beautiful. 
It’s going to help guarantee that strike. Love it. Yeah. Nice. Great effort. Now, what 
I like what you’re doing here, Leah, there’s a couple of things we need to improve. It’s the 
strike’s not as perfect as I like at the moment. We’re going to go to that second. But what I do 
like what you’re doing, just come in. I just want to show you. Okay. Just for those watching because 
this is obviously not just for yourself. It’s for those as well. So what I like about what you jump 
in for a second. What I do like what you’re doing, swing back. Have you pivot what Leah’s doing very 
well as you come through? Keep coming through. Keep coming through. Keep coming through. Can 
you see here? He’s continuing to move this. The shoulders are continuing to move. This is Look 
at the left arm and club. We’re almost forming a straight line on the way through here. Why that’s 
important is because what I love about that is because it enables you then just to let the club 
flow and you’re completely in control. I’ll see a lot of amateurs, they get here, they get a 
bit anxious and they stop. Right. Okay. Yeah. And that’s when this gets flicky. Sure. Right. 
What you’re doing really nicely is is you’re getting the low point here. Brilliant. And you’re 
continuing to move. But there’s one thing that I think will just tidy this up and help the viewers 
watching. All you need is a sweater. Right. Okay. Preferably a Johnny O sweater. Just put this 
just put this under your arms for a second. Right. Yeah. Now, all I’m going to do here is 
this. I don’t want your elbows connected to your body here. This is a really oldfashioned drill, 
but I love it, right? Because it’s just great in a sense. Now, the aim here is is that when you do 
a pivot here, we don’t want those arms just slung off the body, right? So, ultimately, there’s a 
lot of weight there in that head that you want to swing beautifully free, don’t you? Right. We don’t 
want to be controlling it. So, the club’s swinging free. Now, what that’s There you go. Yeah. It 
feels really good, actually. Can you feel that? Yeah. What What do you feel? Feel like my biceps 
are sort of connected still, but then as a result, my whole body is helping everything move through 
quite fluidly and I can let the arms sort of I I can let the arms go a bit, but this is still 
feels like I’m in control. Fantastic. Now, this is Leo’s feels, but this is what I love 
about this. We fix the pivot by just in a sense putting a talander at your arms. Your body fig 
works out the problem. How do I swing the golf club still? Yeah, sure. And you’ve just worked 
it out. I’m having to use my bigger muscles here and coordinate my arms while still letting this 
club flow freely, not guide. Right. All right. Cool. Great. Well done. God, this you’re like 
a natural a natural on camera. It’s the jumper. That’s it. Now again, distance control might 
not be absolutely spot on to start with, right? It’s all about initially the 
acid just getting that sensation. Yeah. Lovely. Felt good. Yeah. So, we got to get more 
power. Yeah. A tiny bit. A little more power. But this is 60°, right? So, temptation when you hit 
a ball short is just to hit it harder. Yeah. Try and swing faster. Yeah. And that’s when the arms 
start to kind of fly off all the body. Right. So, what we’re going to do now is this is we’re 
just going to swing longer. Okay. But, so you’re not going to try and hit it any harder. 
Just imagine the swing going a little bit longer, but doing the same thing. Yeah. And the good 
thing about this kind of jumper under the arms, it’s going to keep you nice and 
connected as you do that. Yeah. Yeah. Lovely. Oh, it’s gone longer. Longer. There you 
go. Right. We lost. We closed the face a little bit on that one, but did we get more 
distance? Definitely. Perfect. Right. So, we’ve now got strike. We’ve now got a bit 
more distance control by swinging longer, but not harder. Yeah. Right. Cool. Keep 
going. Just clean that face off. Making sure that we haven’t got any grass because 
that too much grass on the face by the way would just it reduces the backspin. Right. Okay. 
Gets the ball popping up a little bit too high. Just imagine a longer swing here, Leah. There you go. That’s it. Two seconds. 
Clean that. Clean that first. There you go. Yeah, that was really nice. Look at that. Yeah. 
Beautiful. Take that. And stop him. Right. So, you’ve now hit two shots. Now, there’s one 
final thing before we finish. Right. Because I think you’re doing brilliantly well. What 
do you notice about the ground? Is it Where’s the ball relative to your feet? Above. Above. 
Y. When the ball, by the way, when the ball, you take into consideration when you’re playing, 
when the ball is above your feet, the ball wants to go where? Left to target. Right. Right. 
So, the ball is going to want to go left. So, you’re playing some great swings on there, but 
with a ball above your feet, you’re going to find that that ball is going to go left. Right. Sure. 
So, what do you do? Aim a bit more right. A bit more right. I do the same thing. Simple as that. 
That’s it. So, you know, we’ve we’ve got stripe. We’ve got a bit of distance control and connection 
here. Now, what we’re doing, we’re out on the golf course and we’re taking into consideration the 
wise. Yeah. Okay. Nice. Try and hold it. Try and hold it down. Yeah. Try and hold this one though. 
And I swear Leo really is a beginner golfer. This is impressive. I know. So, keep that length 
up. Pause that. Clean the f. That’s it. Yeah. Oh, that was so good. Go in the hole. Oh, 
we like it. We like it. Right. So, Leah, you’re a superstar. We We’ve got to give him a 
round of applause coming on camera last minute. That’s really good. Well done. That’s all right. 
Thank you. Really, really good. So, I hope you enjoyed this video. As you can see, look, pitching 
doesn’t need to be something that you fear. Understand what creates solid contact. Pretty 
straightforward. Once you’ve done that, you know, create making sure you’ve got some connection 
so that bit the the the motion is basically controlled with the bigger muscles and then 
control the length of the um the distance control with the length of your golf swing. And hopefully 
we’ll have some pretty decent results like that. Okay, I hope you enjoyed the video. If you did,

Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!

I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.

On YouTube and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.

Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble

I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!
