High Pitch Shot

Hitting a high pitch shot isn't the highest percentage shot around the green.  But, it's a necessary shot when you're faced with an elevated green, shot over a bunker or a pin that's tucked close to the edge of the green.  First, you must have a lie that allows you to use the bounce of the club.  A lie with cushion under the ball allows you to hit the ground with the bounce of the club, which lets the club side under the ball.
Below is a detailed instructional video from my youtube channel, timcusickgolf, that outlines the technique necessary for being successful at pitching the ball higher in the air.
