Pitch it like you putt it

                                           B ALL IN T HE MIDDLE


        Setting the ball toward the middle of your stance versus the back of your stance will allow the bounce of the club to slide under the ball, which is
        what is needed for a high and soft shot. To utilize the bounce of the club, slightly twist open the club face until the leading edge is not touching the
        ground. Remember, the shaft still must lean to slightly forward versus it leaning back.

        Keeping your shoulders parallel to the ground will help eliminate an excessive forward press. Your body weight should be evenly distributed and
        centered between both feet just like you are standing over a putt. Remember, you are trying to keep the swing arc wide versus steep.
