Pitching Golf Shot - How To STOP CHUNKING

How to hit pitch shots in golf without hitting it fat. One of the most frustrating and embarrassing mistakes on the golf course is the chunked pitch. If you’re hitting the grass too far behind the golf ball, you can lose confidence very quickly.

In this golf lesson, the Aussie Golf Pros share their best pitching golf tips and drills. They explain the 2 most common causes of the chunked pitch. Understanding how to hit a pitch shot with the ideal angle of attack, is your first step to improving your ball striking.

Glen Haynes demonstrates how ‘Scooping’ and ‘Digging’ when pitching, can both cause heavy contact. He shares his best drills for ensuring solid contact and improved consistency for both types of pitch golf swings.

Golf Coaches, Not Teachers

The Aussie Golf Pros are holistic coaches in every sense of the word. Steve and Glen are both fully qualified members of the PGA of Australia and are avid students of the Sports Sciences. Together, they are certified in Advanced Golf Coaching, Golf Psychology, TPI (Body-Swing Connection), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Personal Development and Skill Acquisition.

Steve and Glen are not ‘Method’ coaches. They recognise that there are literally 1000’s of ways to swing a golf club! Rather than try to ‘change’ your swing, their goal is to help You Be The Best Golfer You Can Be!

Skill Development vs Technical Changes

Although technique is an important factor in improving a golfer’s performance, Skill Development is largely neglected in golf coaching today. Skill is something that can be tangibly improved with proper understanding of the golf impact laws and effective practice towards improved performance.

External Focus of Attention

Most golf teaching involves an internal focus. Common suggestions might include increased hip turn, a still head or improved hand path. These are all factors of the golf swing, which many golfers and teachers consider important. However, as they are focused internally, on movements of the body, golfers find changes extremely difficult to process.

Enter the world of External Focus of Attention. This means that instead of focusing on body parts, a golfer can and should focus more on the target, the ball, the clubhead - objects which are external to the body. The sciences involving Motor Skill Learning have proven that by employing an External Focus of Attention, sports men and women learn new moves more quickly, retain changes more readily and can perform better under pressure.

Definitely a digger, probably coming in too steep, especially poor during winter, will open face and shallow swing. Annoying as getting to good positions then wasting a shot or two on the pitch. Thanks for the info.

Another valuable video Glen! Since this shot has been plaguing me lately, I will definitely be using your suggestion on how to avoid "scoops and digs."

Or, just stop hitting golf balls, and start hitting targets.
