Swing Speed Control

Problem

You can never seem to find the correct speed to swing during your pitch shots.

Cure

The average player hitting a 40 yard shot will feel as if they are swinging at about 40 mph. Keep this thought in your mind as you play out a couple of holes. You will start to notice the different degree of power applied to each of your shots and how they correlate to your yardages.

Therapy

Allow the natural turning motion of your body to control the speed of the club according to the swing length. You will not need to try to kill the ball in order to reach the green while pitching. If you feel like you need to then you might want to use a longer club for this distance. You should simply allow the speed of your body rotation to control the speed and distance of the shot.
