Fat and Thin Pitches

Problem

You are hitting your pitch shots fat or thin.

Cure

Keep your trailing shoulder moving through during the pitch shot. If you stop moving that shoulder, you will end up hitting it fat or thin.

Therapy

Remember to rotate your shoulders, hips and legs towards the target during your forward swing. One trick is to feel as if you are going to put the butt of the club in the pocket on the target side of your body with the clubface open at the finish of your swing. For a left handed person, you will want to turn your body so much that your body is pointing towards the right side of the pin with the butt of the club near your front right pocket. For a right handed player, you will want to try to get your body pointing just left of the pin with the butt of the club near your front left pocket.
