Practice hitting off mats or uneven ground can really help simulate those scenarios. Just make sure you’re focusing on your balance and follow-through.
You know, a common mistake is not factoring in the green’s slope when approaching the hole. The pitching wedge can help you dial in those chips with precision to account for break.
Speaking of slopes, anyone else struggle with alignment? I often find my pitching wedge shoots off in the wrong direction if I’m slightly out of line.
Yes! Alignment is super important. It might help to practice with alignment sticks to improve that.

Alternatively, why not try focusing on your grip as well? A relaxed grip can allow for better control. I always try to remind myself - stay loose!
Isn’t that the key? I sometimes end up overthinking the shot and lose my rhythm. Need to find that groove!

Finding your rhythm is crucial! Sometimes I just focus on a smooth swing without worrying too much about distance. It helps with consistency when using my pitching wedge.
Finally, if you’re having fun with it, you tend to play better! Just remember, even pros have off days. The important thing is to keep practicing and enjoy the game!
