After impact the clubhead has to continue swinging. At the moment of impact the left hip has to
turn back behind you in order for the clubhead to come out of the ground. If the lower half of your
body does not turn out of the way, the club head will have a tendency to get stuck in the
ground.
Pitching - The Left Hip
If you turn the left hip out
of the way too soon in the downswing the clubhead will not reach the bottom of the arc, and you
will either top or scull the golf ball.
Most of the times when you are faced with pitch shots around the green you won't need strength to
pull the shot off. Turning the left hip out of the way does not have to be associated with
strength. The left hip turning out of the way plays two roles. One making sure the leading edge
does not get stuck in the ground and number two it plays a huge role in accuracy.(#27)
When you turn the left hip out of the way it allows the clubface to stay square through impact
and continue on around you on the arc allowing the golf ball to start on target.
The left hip does not have to spin out of the way. It simple turns counter clock wise as the arms
swing the golf club down into the turf. As the left hip is turning, the right heel begins to slowly
come up off of the ground. (#28)
Pitching - Follow Through Checkpoints
When you have
completed your finish from the 11 o'clock backswing, the right heel should face the sky, the shoe
laces of the right foot should face the target, your belt buckle should face the target and your
hands should be just above waist high.(#29)
