Pitching Club Selection and Loft !

Golf lesson and golf tips on understanding club selection and loft whenever facing a pitch shot.

Club Selection and Loft Pitching Tips – Video Golf Lesson Summary

It is not necessary to hit all pitches using the most lofted club possible, sending the ball on the highest ball flight every time. Instead try to take note of the loft angle for every one of your wedges and the ball flight each produces.

Generally speaking, each degree changes the distance a wedge can produce by around 4 yards. Ideally you will want to limit the gap between the loft of your clubs at 4 degrees. That would create a space of around 16 yards (4 x 4 = 16) in between your clubs.

For example, let’s say a 48 degree (PW) pitching wedge would reach 115 yards. A 52 degree (GW) gap wedge would travel 100 yards. A 56 degree (SW) sand wedge would travel 85 yards. And finally a 60 degree (LW) lob wedge would travel 70 yards.

For pitch shots, practice with every wedge in your bag and take note of the flight path and distance you reach with each. Generally speaking, the higher the loft the higher the ball flight and the less the ball will roll upon landing on the green. But higher lofted clubs tend to be harder to hit from tight lies that are generally found whenever pitching shots.

Therefore, you may find it easier to use a lower lofted club that will travel lower, roll more onto the green but is easier to hit reliably than your flop shot using your lob wedge.
