BUCKET DRILLS
When practicing the bucket drill, position yourself with 10 to 20 balls, approximately 10 to 15 yards from the bucket.
Using your sand wedge, with the appropriate swing, pitch your first ball and see where it lands. Place the bucket at the precise area where your first ball landed.
With the same swing, try to pitch the remaining balls in the bucket, as shown in the images below.
CIRCLE PITCHING DRILL
a) In order to practice the circle drill, start by making 2 different size circles with a string, tees or paint on the putting green. One circle will be smaller and will represent the landing zone near the edge of the putting green. The other circle will be bigger representing your intended target area, as shown in the image above.
b) Place a few golf balls in different 5 yard intervals from the landing zone starting at 5 yards, 10 yards, 15 yards and up to 40 yards.
c) Start by pitching the balls closest to the landing zone. Make your shots in order for the balls to land in the landing zone. Keep in mind that when landing the ball in the landing zone, the ball will keep rolling closer to your target area.
d) For each successful pitch shot, move to the next ball further from the landing zone, and so on, as shown in the image above. If you miss one shot, restart from the beginning. This circle drill challenges you to utilize multiple different types of pitch shots. See how far away from the landing zone you can get before having to restart.
HAT/BALL DRILL
When practicing the hat/ball drill, eliminate the hands and wrists actions in order to create a more reliable chipping motion.
Hold a hat or a medium size ball between your forearms during the swing. You should feel your hands, arms and shoulders working as one unit. Keep your wrists still during the impact and the follow through, as shown in the images above and below.
LEFT ARM EXTENSION DRILL
This left arm extension drill will help develop the feeling of maintaining a good left arm extension and rotation through the hitting zone.
While holding the club with your left hand, take the club back near the 8 o’clock position, slightly cocking your left wrist.
On the forward swing, the left arm and hand will extend and rotate through the hitting zone. Somewhere near the 3 o’clock position, the toe of the club should be pointing straight up indicating the proper release of the left hand (turning of the left hand).
Swing the club back and forth to familiarize yourself with the feeling of the left arm extended during the follow through, as shown in the image below.
There is a slight weight transfer and rotation to the left side on the follow through.
OVER BUNKER DRILL
In order to feel more comfortable pitching over a bunker or over a water hazard, make this over bunker drill part of your regular practice routine.
Visualize a practice bunker as being a water hazard or a bunker and practice those pitch shots the same way you would play on the course, as shown in the images above and below.
RIGHT ARM EXTENSION DRILL
This right arm extension drill will help develop the feeling of maintaining a good right arm extension and rotation through the hitting zone, as shown in the image above.
While holding the club with your right hand, take the club back near the 8 o’clock position, slightly cocking your right wrist, as shown in the image above.
On the forward swing, the arm and hand will extend and rotate through the hitting zone. Somewhere near the 3 o’clock position, the toe of the club should be pointing straight up indicating the proper release of the right hand (turning of the right hand).
Swing the club back and forth to familiarize yourself with the feeling of the right arm extended during the follow through.
There is a slight weight transfer and rotation to the left side on the follow through, as shown in the image above.
RIGHT HAND ON THE SHOULDER DRILL
When practicing the right hand on the shoulder drill, your left hand must have a comfortable (not too tight) hold on the grip. While placing your right hand on the left shoulder it simply raises your awareness and feeling of the pitch shot, as shown in the image above.
Keep your wrists still during the impact and the follow through. Regular repetitions of this exercise will help transform your pitching shot into a feeling action. You should now feel the shoulders and arms turning as one unit. This will establish an understanding of the role of the upper body. Keep your wrists still during the impact and the follow through, as shown in the image above.
