Stop rolling the wrists early; keep scraping the arc

A common pitching fault is using the wrists too much and rolling them in the backswing, which brings the club in from the wrong angle so you have to flick it at the ball. The fix: keep the club scraping on its arc all the way back and let the wrists come in naturally later — for now just keep the shoulders and the club working on the tabletop.
