THE HIGH PITCH SHOT.
This information Supplied by my-golf-space.com
In this shot, also called a lob or popshot, the ball is pitched high into the air with a pitching wedge or a sand wedge. For this shot, the ball is positioned opposite the inside of the left heel with the hands just over the ball. The weight is slightly on the left side of the address position. On the backswing, the wrists are broken, or cocked, immediately upright. When in the fairway, this shot is played with softer hand action in order to give the ball a soft, floating action. This is an excellent shot to hit when the pin is nestled just over a trap and you must "feather" the ball in and stop the ball quickly.
When playing out of the rough, it is best to use a sand wedge. For best results, try to hit slightly behind the ball. The heavy flange on the bottom of the clubhead will part the grass and allow the clubhead to slide underneath the ball much more easily than if you use a nine-iron or a pitching wedge. A little firmer hand action, however, is required when playing this shot out of the rough. The normal tendency on this shot is to hit and quit, so be sure to hit a little harder than you think is required and follow through toward the hole, bringing the clubhead up quite abruptly after the ball has been struck.
