If you're able to pitch the ball accurately around the greens, you'll shoot lower scores. My A Swing can be used for pitch shots with great results — all you need to do is make a few adjustments. Start by thinking of the pitch swing as a mini version of the full swing. Follow these steps to develop your pitching technique and watch your scores drop.
