Steps

Step 1: Watch
Watch the video.

Step 2: Right Hand Only Score
Hit 10 pitches with the right hand from 30 yards (this allows the clubface to release past the chest, and stops the club from digging into the ground at impact). Keep score for the 10 shots by tracking how many balls you got within 6 feet of the hole. You get 1 point for each ball you get within 6 feet. The maximum score is 10 points.

Step 3: Left Hand Only Score
Hit 10 pitches with the left hand from 30 yards (this cures the inside backswing which is considered the worst mistake you can make with pitch shots). Keep score for the 10 shots by tracking how many balls you got within 6 feet of the hole. You get 1 point for each ball you get within 6 feet. The maximum score is 10 points.

Step 4: Both Hands Score
Hit 10 pitches with both hands. Keep score for the 10 shots by tracking how many balls you got within 6 feet of the hole. You get 1 point for each ball you get within 6 feet. The maximum score is 10 points.
