What should be done to the centerline of the body to help achieve a normal trajectory pitch shot?

Placing the centerline directly over the ball is a key element in achieving a normal trajectory pitch shot. This position allows the player to make consistent contact with the ball at the correct point in the swing, which is crucial for achieving the desired launch angle and distance control. When the centerline is directly over the ball, the player can ensure that they are striking down on the ball slightly, promoting a clean strike that helps to elevate the ball properly into the air.

This positioning allows for a stable base and promotes the right body rotation and weight shift throughout the shot. Furthermore, it helps in aligning the clubface correctly with the ball, enhancing the probability of achieving a straighter and more consistent trajectory.

In contrast, advancing the centerline left of the ball could lead to an improper strike or imbalance, while moving it behind may result in poor contact and lack of control. Keeping it where it normally is without adjusting, or relying on adjustments to make a pitch shot could lead to inconsistency and difficulty in achieving the desired flight path. Therefore, placing the centerline directly over the ball is the most effective strategy for a successful pitch shot.
