1. The pitch is designed to allow the ball to spend more time in the air than on the ground.

2. The club-head should swing up on the back-swing and the forward swing. Use the wider open stance. High back-swing. Wrists cocked. Use the Pitching or Sand wedge.

3. Turn hips, then shoulders. Club-head in front of the hands at impact. Don't flip the hands.

4.Full rotation hands finish high, chest faces target.

5. No, the PGA has not made tossing the ball on to the green legal. But this is a great way to get the feel of how your body should move when pitching. Like a side arm toss, your body needs to rotate to the target. Practice the side arm toss t train your body to move correctly.
