Baby step me through Pitching and flipping please

Hi
I have been trying to get the pitching and flipping right but it eludes me. I cant only get the bait to go about 3-5 feet away from me, and then it kind of goes back and ends up a miserable foot away.
So, how exactly do you do it?
thanks.

Hi Sean.
Welcome to the site,I know how you feel,as this happens to all of us from time to time,it's really a pain.
It's all timing,the main problem people have is they have too much line at the rod tip,try with different lenghts.
All you do is,pinch the Line against the Rod with your Finger,moove the Rod to about the 1-2 o'clock position,click the bail arm over,give the Rod a flick,watch,just as the Bait,Lure starts to go foward release your finger off the Line,practice makes perfect,so they say.
