Perfect pitching begins by having control of three key elements: To achieve full control of these elements your downswing sequence is vital in creating the correct arc to and through the shot. The two downswing movements we typically see at The Dubai Golf Academy at Emirates Golf Club are (a) dragging the club down creating a steep, digging action through impact and (b) releasing the club too early causing a shallow, scooping action through impact. With either of these movements it is very difficult to consistently control strike, trajectory and speed of the ball.

TRY THIS SIGNATURE PETER COWEN PITCHING DRILL to help you learn and feel the correct delivery of the clubhead and improve your control of the three key elements of perfect pitching.
This is a challenging drill that will give you immediate feedback on how you deliver your clubhead to the ball and therefore what level of control you have over strike, trajectory and speed. If you can execute 10 solid shots in a row using this drill then you have control of your downswing delivery. If however, you are struggling to successfully execute the drill then please call us at the Dubai Golf Academy at Emirates Golf Club and we will be delighted to help you perfect your pitching technique.
