Brooks Koepka’s Junior Coach: BLT Pitching Method for Distance and Consistency

Key Points

• B.L.T. stands for:
  B = Ball Back in your stance to promote a descending strike.L = Lean slightly left (60/40 weight distribution) to create a better angle of attack.T = Time – Use the clock-face visual to control swing length and distance.
• Clock Drill Breakdown:
  Visualize your body as a clock:Feet at 6:00Left arm swing path: 7 to 5 = ~10 yards8 to 4 = ~20 yards9 to 3 = ~30 yardsHelps with distance control and consistent pitching.
• Swing Feel:
  Use a hinge and hold motion, with a quiet lower body and slight pivot.Swing is controlled with shoulders and arms, not excess leg movement.
• Body Mechanics:
  Left hand slightly lower at setup to drop left shoulder.Maintain balance and finish with a small pivot toward target.
• Distance Tips:
  For 20 yards: 8 to 4 swingFor 30 yards: 9 to 3 swing (L-to-L with a pivot)
• Result:
  Promotes soft landings, improved distance control, and better up-and-down chances—ideal for scoring on par 5s.
