GOLFTEC-Basics of Pitching
劈起球的基礎知識
為了讓你在果嶺邊更加遊刃有餘，提升你劈起球的基本功，我們來看一下需要注意哪些基本的要素吧。
To help you improve your game around the green and improve your basic pitching technique, here are some important points to focus on.
Common Mistakes
常見錯誤
好的劈起球技術始於正確的準備動作。但我們常見的錯誤往往就出現在準備動作中，例如杆身過度前傾以及杆面方正。因為杆身前傾通常會降低杆面前沿，導致擊球時挖地，並且杆身前傾還會減少杆面角度，這樣就很難打出又高落地又輕的球，而這種短劈起球恰巧就是我們在果嶺邊想要的。
A good pitching technique starts with the right set up and common mistakes we see are too much forward shaft lean and a square club face at set up. Leaning the shaft towards the target lowers the leading edge of the club encouraging it to dig into the ground through impact. Forward shaft lean also reduces the loft of the club and makes it more difficult to hit the high-flying and soft-landing shots we usually want for short pitch shots around the green.
How to fix it ?
改善方法
1
在短距離劈起球的準備動作中，站位最好窄一點，球位放在中間靠左。把球杆放在球后時，稍微轉動握把打開杆面，保持杆身直立，不要往前傾也不要往後倒。
A better way to set up for a short pitch is to take a narrow stance and position the ball to the left of the center of your feet. Now, when you place the club behind the ball, twist the grip slightly to open the club face and keep the shaft vertical so there is no forward or backward shaft lean.
這個動作會有助於你利用球杆的反彈角，充分利用反彈角打出來的高劈起球，不僅落地輕而且停球快。
This position will help you to use the bounce of the club correctly and provides plenty of loft to help you hit nice high pitch shots that will land soft and stop quickly.

談到短距離劈起球的基本揮杆動作時，你要注意的就是揮杆的寬度，試著在上、下杆以及送杆時保持杆柄底部與身體的距離一致。想要在送杆時做到這一點，就需要左手腕在送杆時反曲或反弓形成杯狀，來讓左手臂向上曲折。
When it comes to the swing for a basic short pitch shot you want to focus on the width of the swing. Try to maintain the same gap between the end of the grip and your body throughout the backswing, downswing and follow through. To do this on the follow through you will need to extend or cup your left wrist and allow your left arm to fold.
