The Basics of the Survey Method

Weight in the front, open face, and a sole that glides: everything you need to stop hitting it fat on your pitch shots.

High, soft pitch

Open the front of the grip, move the ball forward, and let the club slide through: the ball rises and stops quickly.

Jump over an obstacle

Bunker, tree, or short flag behind an obstacle: check the height and proceed without slowing down.

Chips That Roll or Slow Down

A chip rolled like a putt, a “nippy” chip that bites, a tight lie: choose the right chip for the situation.

Controlling the distance and trajectory of your wedges

Low, standard, or high, with or without backspin: control distance and ball flight with your wedges.

Insights from the Pros

Justin Rose, Tiger Woods, and three LPGA champions share their insights and creativity on the green.

Pitch shots are essential in golf, allowing you to gently land the ball on the green, even when you're in difficult situations. These videos reveal the key steps to mastering these shots and improving your short game.

In summary: How to Make Successful Pitch Shots

Catch the ball while coming down

Connection between the arms and the body: essential

Move your arms “through your body” rather than just using your arms on their own

Adjust the club's sole (“bounce”) and let it glide

Open your left foot slightly

Body and head weight on the left (in front of the ball)

Feel the club slide under the ball
