As a result, I don’t think you should expect to hit all of your shots in each range session with the Divot Board. And I don’t think you need to either. It’s Not Cheap, and There Is An Ongoing Cost Analyze Your Divot: Understanding your divot is crucial for identifying swing flaws. Our system helps you read your divot and make necessary corrections. When it comes to reading your divot like a golf professional, you want to think about three things; direction, depth, and divot to ball location. Divot Direction The sooner you can understand the basic ball flight laws, the sooner you can become a more consistent ball striker. Position the board so that the ball is aligned with your intended target. Set up to the ball that is on the board as if it were going to hit a shot on a golf course or driving range.

Through some combination of weirdness and nerdiness, I tend to get deeply fascinated by some rather obscure topics. Last year, I dove down a rabbit hole on the concept of practicing — without a golf ball. Shots, then this is for you – so basically anyone not yet at a tour-pro level is going to dramatically benefit.Then, it’s time to analyze and assess your divot to make necessary swing changes as needed. Assessing Your Divot And there’s also the ability to buy replacement hitting strips, making it a much more viable option for my students and my lesson tee. Another word that’s commonly used to describe the skill is called low-point control. To be clear, turf interaction and low point control are not the same but related. Yes, you can buy a new pad for a fraction of the price of the original investment. This replacement pad is easy to install and should last between 1,000 to 3,000 adult swings. If it’s a junior using the device, it can last up to 6,000 swings! Is this like the DownUnder board? If it’s straight, great job, you just hit one of the hardest shots in golf… a straight one! But you still want to make sure the face is square at impact, otherwise it’ll be a straight ball flight but have a fade or draw.

The first thing to look at is the direction of the divot. Is it right, left, or straight at your target? Even if you can’t make it to the driving range or course as much as you’d like, this training aid will help you groove a great swing at home. Plus, it’s so small and portable that you can take it to the practice tee for a more efficient session. However, for a product that’s getting pummeled but a lump of metal moving at close to 100mph, the Divotboard is about as durable as it gets. Products like this are always going to suffer from a bit of wear and tear – even your golf clubs get scratched up.Despite being a skilled iron player, turf interaction is the one part of my game that I don’t feel entirely comfortable with. While I don’t have issues with hitting heavy iron shots on the course, I still do brush the grass lightly before impact, and if I’m going to make a mistake, it’s usually a thin shot.
