Pitching

Can someone direct me to the best explanation/ demonstration in the gallery of the acquired motion?

Also, can anyone recommend a good commercial video on pitching technique?

Finally, a specific question on the stroke: Should I be doing something consciously to square the club face? Too many of my short pitches squirt out to the right. I'm not certain if they are going off the toe or the heel.

I don't have this problem with full swings.

Thank you.

Thanks Yoda. I already have the DVDs. They are terrific, by the way. I have already watched the first two, and will undoubtedly view them many times more.

Right now, however, on my short pitches, I can't yet figure out what I'm doing differently from what I see on the DVD.

About 1/4 of these shots squirt to the right. Fore! The rest are o.k., but I can't feel what I'm doing differently on the bad ones.

By squirt right, do you mean off the hosel?

Andy, I'm not sure if these shots are off the hosel or off the toe. I guess that there is about a 55 % likelihood that they are off the toe, because they sort of slither out at about a 30-45 degree angle, rather than shoot more directly to the right at about the 60 degree angle that I associate with shanks. However, I'm not at all certain that my guess is correct.

As I write this, I wonder if I'm bending my left wrist at impact, and therefore allowing the collision with the ball to twist the club face open?

Thank you.
