The key to accurate pitch shots is to take to power out and keep the precision in. The best way to do that is to look at two of the most accurate players around the green on the PGA Tour. Right now that is Zach Johnson and Steve Stricker. Both of these players take wrist cock out of the shot. I call this the dead hand pitch. That is when your hands just go along for the ride and your arms are placid. The rotation of the shoulders and torso are the driver and the only power source in this shot. The arms are carried by the big muscles and help square up the face at impact. Give this a try the next time you are close to the green. You will begin to see accurate shots the more you work on this style or pitching and chipping.
