7-8-9 Method Helps Golfers Achieve Consistent Distances on Pitch Shots

Keep Weight on Front Foot at Address

1. Notice that at address the majority of my weight is on my front foot. This is important to help you not only keep your body steady during the swing, but to help you impart the downward blow that is important in creating the backspin you want on this shot. You will also notice looking at the other positions during the backswing that my weight does not shift to the back foot at any time. I keep my weight on the front foot even at the top of my backswing. (This is only for the pitch shot - not for full shots.)
