There is no weight shift on the pitch shot. All the weigth stays on the front foot throughout the shot. This helps with staying a lot quieter over the ball and produces a slightly downward blow – which is what you are looking for in a pitch. Thanks for your question.
Hi James, sorry I have taken so long to reply but I don’t check my youtube account all that often. I will from now on. I preset the weight forward to eliminate any unnecessary movement in the pitch. As this is not a “power” shot, I don’t need a weight shift as I do with a full swing. It also allows me to have a slightly downward blow coming into the ball. Thanks for the post!
Hi Mel,
Really enjoy rewatching your videos, esp this one as my short game has been destroying my score for some time.
I have a Technical question for you which may sound obvious but I was hoping you could help.
If there is a weight shift (some teachers such as Chris Tolson say there isn’t in pitching) which is clear in your video, why do you pre-set the weight slightly favouring the left side at address?
Regards
James
what is point of favoring left side at address, if you employ weight transfer during swing?
what a great service….this lesson would cost 75 bucks for the hour….we get it for free…thank you….
This is top quality instruction, thanks Mel.

James
