Basement Tapes: Master These Two Main Pitching Techniques

By Wayne | Videos: Basement Tapes

If you’re hitting 2/3rds of your greens in regulation you need to get up-and-down every third hole, 50% and you need to get up-and-down every other hole. In this third Basement Tapes lecture video “Master These Two Main Pitching Techniques” I compare and demonstrate how to perform the two main pitching techniques which are essential to scoring well when you miss the green.

Would you like to achieve elite level impact? Many golfers can’t reach the level of play they know they’re capable of yet are frustrated because they don’t know what’s holding them back.

By Wayne | Videos: Basement Tapes

I’m still in the basement and for the third segment of this five-video “Basement Tapes” lecture series I’m talking about “The Transition”.

Also, it’s important for the hips to stay in the box and not sway to the right from the face on view. Monday’s “Basement Tapes” lecture is: “The Transition”
