One thing that is ruining my golf game is pitching with two clubs in particular- sand wedge and lob wedge. No problem hitting a full shot with those two clubs, but hitting a pitch shot around thirty yards and closer is terrible. I continually hit it very fat. I tried moving the ball back in my stance, standing farther away, but still no good. Anything you can think of that I could try? I know i could break 80 if I could just clear that up. I know it can't be the clubs because they are Natural Golf clubs.

I hit fat chips and pitches when I have body and head movement specifically forward movement and my eyes come of the ball. If your convinced that your setup and technique is correct then focus on keeping you body perfectly still and your eyes on the ball all the way through the shot.
You might be surprised at what you discover I know I was.

Since my full shots with wedges have all been fine, i have been in a quandary about what i am doing wrong with pitching. I will certainly check my body movement and head and eyes.

Try placing the ball position just back of center with the majority of your weight on your lead foot. Then practice hitting the ball as low as you can and see what happens...
We'll look for your reply!

Thank you Ken and Gradoman. I have been working on my pitching problem in 100 plus Texas heat. It turned out that I was doing two things wrong. First, I was taking my eyes off the ball before the club hit. But the worst problem was simply allowing the clubhead to get ahead of my hands. That must be why you instructed me to hit the ball low.
Doing that kept my hands ahead of the clubhead and I hit it solid every time. Wow! what an eye opener.
