The pitch shot is used when the ball is from 15 feet to 75 yards from the green. The eight or nine iron or a pitching wedge is used to give the ball loft and backspin. This shot is hit high to a spot near the flagstick, where backspin causes it to stop.  3, record 1, English, - pitch%20shot

Chip shots differ from pitch shots in that pitch shots are meant to have a higher trajectory that results in a shot landing closer to the pin and rolling just a bit. Pitch shots are typically played from farther off the green than chips shots.  4, record 1, English, - pitch%20shot
