Pitching in Golf

Reviewer Data-backed, named technique, and it explains the actual chain reaction from too much wrist hinge to an inconsistent shot - properly good stuff.

Moderator Entirely about the pitching takeaway and how the amount of wrist hinge changes clubface angle, ball flight height, and distance control - the whole video is diagnosing and fixing pitching trajectory/distance problems. Nothing off-topic.

Reviewer Excellent - simple checkpoints plus a swing thought that actually changes how you hit these shots.

Moderator This is a dedicated, structured pitching lesson from a well-known coach, covering stance width, ball position and swing thought specifically for the 30-50 yard shot. Completely on topic.

Reviewer Explains the why behind the mistakes, not just what to do instead.

Moderator Defines what a pitch shot even is versus a chip or full swing, then builds up technique from there — about as squarely pitching as it gets.

Reviewer Move the ball forward, shaft lean drops, loft goes up, attack angle shallows on its own - that is the real mechanism, well taught.

Moderator Deeply on topic - a coach-student session specifically about dialing in a mid-height pitch shot versus a low spinner, manipulating ball position to change shaft lean and dynamic loft. Every line is about pitch shot execution and ball flight control. About as squarely in the pitching skill as content gets.

Reviewer Best explanation of bounce I've seen in this batch -- makes the setup changes make sense instead of just being rules.

Moderator Bounce, setup, and the pitching motion itself, start to finish -- nothing here isn't about pitching.

Reviewer Landing point, depth, strike spot below the equator - this actually explains why your pitches come out thin or fat.

Moderator Pitch shot lesson through and through - explicitly separates short game mechanics from full swing, addresses a 60-yard approach which is squarely pitch territory, and every cue (landing point, depth, strike point) is pitch specific. Zero drift into other shots.

Reviewer Faldo makes it simple and it clearly works for his student on camera. Good stuff.

Moderator A major champion giving a live pitching lesson on a specific, common scenario (pitch over a bunker). Alignment, setup, technique, tempo - it's a complete pitching lesson start to finish.

Reviewer The hang-a-club-off-your-sternum checkpoint is a great self-check you can use on the range.

Moderator Consistent strike and distance control on pitch shots, the 30-80 yard range specifically -- squarely pitching.

Reviewer The bit on why 'ball back, hands forward' backfires is worth the whole video alone.

Moderator Whole thing is fault-and-fix for pitching, using a real bunker/hazard shot as the example throughout.

Reviewer Explains the why, not just the what -- worth your time.

Moderator Every one of the five tips is squarely about the pitch shot -- setup line, wrist action, and pivot -- no filler about other parts of the game.

Reviewer Explains the bounce mechanics properly, then proves it works on a real shot - not just theory.

Moderator Squarely about pitching clubface and shaft control in the takeaway, worked all the way through to a real shot demonstration. Fully on topic apart from a brief subscribe/lesson plug.

Reviewer The lie-specific detail here is genuinely useful, not generic.

Moderator Two specific lies around the green and the exact setup/swing adjustments for each — squarely pitching technique from a credible teaching pro.

Reviewer This is what real diagnostic coaching looks like, not just tips.

Moderator Trackman-tested pitching with a full breakdown of a specific swing fault — squarely pitching technique at a diagnostic level.

Reviewer A real system you can copy, not just 'feel it out' advice.

Moderator Distance control for 30-100 yard pitches, using a clock-face swing-length system matched to measured yardages — this is pitching technique through and through.

Reviewer Real diagnostic tool here - the checkpoint and the divot-pattern read are things you can actually verify yourself.

Moderator Entirely about wedge swing mechanics for pitching - angle of attack, the specific fault that causes it (club dropping too low/flat behind the body), and how that connects to thin shots and shanks. Never leaves the topic.

Reviewer Simple, correct, and you could take this straight to the range - stance, ball position, L to L, done.

Moderator Full-package pitch shot lesson: stance width, ball position, weight forward, hands leading, half-swing thought, wrist hinge, L to L, ball-then-ground contact, and when to use it over a bunker or obstacle. Every piece of this is pitching, nothing else. As squarely on-topic as it gets.

Reviewer Corrects a mistake a lot of golfers make FROM watching pitching tips - useful self-aware coaching.

Moderator Weight distribution, rotation, swing length controlling distance, and wrist hinge control are all core pitching mechanics, covered start to finish with no digression.

Reviewer Fixes the deceleration habit that ruins more pitch shots than bad technique does.

Moderator Both rules covered here - maintaining rotation on short shots instead of freezing, and following all the way through instead of decelerating - are specifically about pitching technique and common pitching misses. Fully on topic.

Reviewer Watch how a real fault gets fixed shot to shot — that's the value here.

Moderator This is a live pitching lesson on the course, full stop — left knee stability, hip position, trunk rotation through impact, all applied to real shots with real feedback. Couldn't be more squarely about pitching.

Reviewer The horseshoe-throw feel for stopping wristy pitches is real coaching, not a gimmick.

Moderator Squarely pitching - opens by explicitly distinguishing pitching from chipping, then teaches body-driven pitch motion (weight left, hips releasing, firm wrists) through a throwing analogy. The entire video is built around fixing pitch shot mechanics.

Reviewer The one-handed-swing drill to feel the release is worth the watch by itself.

Moderator Specific pitch shot technique - open the face and let the club glide under the ball for a high, soft landing. Leans toward the flop-shot end of pitching, but that is still squarely inside this skill, just the high-and-soft variant, not a different one. Stays on pitching around the green throughout.

Reviewer Simple setup change, clearly explained - good one for guys who chunk everything around the green.

Moderator Entirely about how to set up your arms and body for a pitch shot versus a full shot. No detours - stance, arm structure, ball-to-body distance, all pitching-specific.

Reviewer Excellent depth — this is how a real short-game coach thinks about the shot.

Moderator Deep technical breakdown of the setup and swing differences producing a pitch (ball forward, open face, higher/softer flight) versus a chip, with the biomechanics explained throughout. Squarely on topic.

Reviewer Good, honest technique -- ignore the 'instantly' in the title, it still takes reps.

Moderator Dead center on pitching -- the whole video is about setup and low-point control for the 20-30 yard pitch, nothing else competing for time.

Reviewer Explains why the technique changes, with slow-motion to back it up.

Moderator Despite the 'chipping and pitching' title, the shot shown — lofted sand wedge, open face, some carry to clear the rough — is a pitch, not a low running chip. This same creator draws that exact line in his other video, and this shot sits on the pitching side of it.

Reviewer Explains why your pitches get chunked or thinned better than most - just wade through the chat to get there.

Moderator This is a pitching-technique clinic built around ball position and the bottom/bounce concept - squarely about how to strike a pitch shot correctly. Some time spent on framing (analogies, general setup philosophy) before getting into the meat, but it's all in service of teaching pitching.

Reviewer Simple feel-based fix, and the weighted-club drill is a nice practice tool.

Moderator It's about the high, soft pitch specifically rather than pitching in general, but that's still squarely inside the sub-skill.

Reviewer Good technical foundation - promises real distance-control value once it gets to the grid system.

Moderator This is a dedicated pitching-technique video working toward a distance-judgment system, exactly the promise of the title - the excerpt builds the technical foundation (stable center, consistent grip pressure) that the later distance-control system depends on. On-topic throughout what's shown.

Reviewer Useful simple version of the yardage-chart idea.

Moderator Same territory as the clock-face distance-control system — wedge selection, swing-length chart, building your own yardages. Squarely pitching.

Reviewer One good positional cue, solid, but it is a single piece of the puzzle.

Moderator Identical transcript to the other pelvis and shoulder centering pitch clips in this batch - squarely pitch shot strike mechanics, explicitly contrasted with full swing. On topic throughout.

Reviewer Simple positional fix that actually addresses why pitches come out thin or heavy.

Moderator Same clip as the pelvis and shoulder centering lesson elsewhere in this batch - squarely about controlling low point on pitch shots, explicitly contrasted against full swing. Core pitching content.

Reviewer Handy pre-shot checklist, but it is a starting point, not the full lesson.

Moderator Squarely about how to play a pitch shot - reading the situation, picking the club for trajectory and stopping power, and setting up to deliver it. Every tip loops back to executing a pitch. Clean fit.

Reviewer Get your pelvis and chest centered over the ball and most chunks and skulls disappear - real fix, not a gimmick.

Moderator Straight pitch-shot instruction - he explicitly frames this as different from full swing and the whole point is controlling low point so you strike ball-then-turf on pitches specifically. No sport confusion, no drift. Dead center of the pitching skill.

Reviewer Simple, correct, and usable on the course today - good starter breakdown of the pitch.

Moderator The second half of this is a clean, direct breakdown of the pitch shot setup - stance width, ball position, weight forward, hands leading, bigger swing, trajectory and when to use it. Contrasting it against the chip shot actually sharpens the teaching point rather than diluting it. This is squarely pitching.

Reviewer Solid quick-reference for the pitch -- L to L, weight forward, done. Wish it went one layer deeper.

Moderator Every single line of this is about the pitch shot -- grip-adjacent stance, ball position, weight forward, the wrist hinge, the L-to-L thought, trajectory and use case for clearing an obstacle. No filler, no other shot types mixed in. As squarely on 'Pitching' as a 43-second clip gets.

Reviewer Watching the fix actually work on a real student is convincing, even if it's a bit unpolished.

Moderator It's a real lesson on a real pitching problem, but a good chunk of the transcript is back-and-forth chat rather than instruction, so the pure signal is a bit diluted.

Reviewer Decent concept, but this clip is mostly preamble before the real technique shows up.

Moderator Trajectory control on pitch shots is core pitching skill, just a more advanced slice of it than most of the other videos in this batch.

Reviewer Dense, technical, correct - this is a real coach's system, not generic tips.

Moderator One of three shots covered (chip/pitch/lob) but the pitching section is explicit and detailed - butt of club even with the ball, neutral shaft, neutral wrist deviation. It earns real credit for specificity even though it's sharing the video with two other shots.

Reviewer Useful mental model — one motion, different lengths — even if delivery is loose.

Moderator Genuinely wrestles with the real question golfers have — where does chip end and pitch begin — and gives a practical answer (pick one motion, scale the length) demonstrated on real shots across varying distances. Core pitching content.

Reviewer Solid live coaching — you can see the fix land in real time.

Moderator Real 1:1 lesson working a student's pitch/chip motion — handle height, ball position, stance width, face angle. Blurs chip and pitch language a bit but the swing being taught is the short, vertical-handle motion this sub-skill is about.

Reviewer Simple and correct — good first explanation, not much beyond the basics.

Moderator Direct, hands-on comparison lesson — chip is low-flight/lots of roll, pitch is high-flight/spin-and-stop, with different setups (close/upright for chip, farther/open-face for pitch). Squarely teaching what a pitch shot is and how to set up for one.

Reviewer Same solid lesson, and the intro plug here is a lot less pushy than the other upload.

Moderator Same as the other upload of this lesson - a direct chip-vs-pitch comparison, so pitching is squarely one of the two things being taught, not a tangent.

Reviewer Good quick checklist for a bad lie, but it is tips, not a lesson.

Moderator On topic - pitching from a side-hill lie in thick rough while still trying to hit it high and stop it. This is a real pitching scenario, adapting the standard technique to a bad lie, not a different skill. Narrower than a full technique breakdown but everything said is about executing the pitch.

Reviewer Good decision-making logic on shot selection, just wade past the product ad up front.

Moderator It's a direct comparison video, so pitching is one of exactly two things being taught, not buried among unrelated content - defines it, demos it, and sets up to explain the technique differences. Genuinely on topic for pitching, just sharing the video with chipping.

Reviewer Fun drill, but there's not much real instruction behind it - mostly 'watch me do it.'

Moderator It's a real pitching drill aimed at distance control, strike quality and deceleration - all core pitching problems. Framed as a 'trick shot' gimmick which undersells it a bit, but the actual target is pitching technique.

Reviewer Draws the distinction well, but you're only getting about half a pitching lesson here.

Moderator Roughly half of this is genuinely about pitching - longer swing, wrist hinge, arms past the hips, higher and further ball flight - and that's clearly explained. But the other half is chip-shot technique, a different shot, so this isn't a video built purely around pitching the way most of the others in this batch are.

Reviewer Good when it's on pitching, but that's only half the video.

Moderator Half of this is chipping, not pitching — the low chip and putt-chip get real airtime too. The pitching end (the 'brush pitch' and the near-flop shot) is taught properly, but it's sharing the video with a different skill.
