Tee peg drill for higher-spinning pitches

Tee the ball up as high as a driver for pitching. This teaches you to strike lower on the face around grooves three and four so the loft climbs over the ball, increasing friction and spin. Aim to clip the ball and ideally leave the tee peg in the ground, which stops you driving steeply down and chopping across it.
