The more torque you create between your shoulders and hips, the more power and distance you’ll get.

Why You Should Practice 9 Yard Pitch Shots
By Jeff Richmond
A while ago I was reading an article online, which had research that shows the average distance golfers miss the green is 6 to 8 yards from the edge of the green.
Now for most pitch shots you want the ball to land a couple of yards from the edge of the green, and then let the ball run the rest of the way to the hole.
This Is Common Knowledge
The best ball strikers in the world have copied other great ball strikers swings.
Ben Hogan did that.
Jack Nicklaus did that.
Tiger Woods did that.
Every great ball striker has done that.
They look at what others do successfully, and copy it.
That’s called modeling success.
The Golf Swing
It’s probably the most analyzed, dissected and debated movement of any sport.
One person likes Tiger Woods’ swing, another person hates it.
One person likes Sergio Garcia’s swing, another person hates it.
One person likes Ben Hogan’s swing, another person hates it.
So is there ONE perfect golf swing?
Well, it depends on how you define a perfect golf swing.
