A short pitch is...
....Stage One!
Today was doing some chipping/short pitching with a 56 degree sandwedge. I hit a small bucket to a hole and then realized I was using the Basic Stroke. No pivot. Ne weight shift. Just a very short right forearm pickup and right arm thrust with light lag pressure to both arms straight about 2 feet in ront of me.
Stage One is very short but I also realized you can still vary the lag pressure without lengthening the stroke. The technique of varying the lag pressure is an important one and is applied for all length strokes as the shot demands. I think it helps feel to play around with lag pressure.
