Divot Board - Patented Low Point and Swing Path Trainer - Instant Feedback. Anytime. Anywhere - See Your Swing Path and Learn Every Time You Hit The Ball!

Product Information

When looking down at the board, you will start to do anything you can with your golf game to try and get those perfect smooth marks of the club. Seeing a club path that goes outside in or inside out can be frustrating and will require you to make swing adjustments. At first, the Divot Board is a bit daunting to hit from. It’s durable and mimics a fairway, but it takes a couple of swings to really see the magic come to life. The sooner you can understand the basic ball flight laws, the sooner you can become a more consistent ball striker. If you pull the golf ball, your divot will be to the left of the target. The face will determine if it’s a pull draw, straight pull, or pull cut. Tournaments 2023 World Wide Technology Championship: How to watch, TV schedule, streaming, tee times

This is where pro golfers really shine. They can strike the golf ball first (in an optimal position on the clubface), and then their club will interact with the turf. If you see the practice area of any PGA Tour professional, you’ll see a neat arrangement of divot patterns after their session is complete. The Divot Board’s brilliance is its simplicity. All you do is place the ball on the circle, hit your shot, and you’ll get a clear visual indication of what happened. Here is a video showing some examples of striking different parts of the board. No, the DownUnder board by Bradley Hughes is a swing trainer to help improve your posture and other parts of your game. It helps create a stable lower body and encourages upper body rotation to make a consistent swing. As I stated, the Divot Board is not a swing trainer; it’s a diagnostic tool. But I believe that most golfers can see improvement simply by paying attention to their patterns and making adjustments. Noticing Your Patterns

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 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.

While hitting from mats is better than nothing, you don’t get to see your divot to help analyze your swing. But with the Divot Board, you can practice indoors or outdoors and instantly understand the divot pattern. This will help you adjust your swing as needed to help straighten out the ball and ultimately, become a much better ball striker. What is the Divot Board? No training aid is perfect, and a lot of them have some serious flaws. The Divot Board is no different. While I think the up-front investment and ongoing cost might be a bit steep (no pun intended), there are significant benefits to using this product. More so than 99% of the other inventions I’ve seen come and go over the years. If you are at the range or home, the Divot Board may be a similar height to the mat. So if room permits, you could place it adjacent to the mat. Using my 60-degree wedge, I was just hoping to get my ball close enough for about a 6-foot putt — which is typically the result I see from here. But instead of playing my ball from the short grass surrounding the green, I placed it on the training aid to get a better sense of how this type of chip is supposed to feel.

How The Divot Board Works:

There is an old saying “Dead men tell no lies” but did you know there is an equivalent one in golf too? 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. When you stand on grass, typically the ball (which weighs less) sits on top of the blades of grass, while your feet sink into the grass more (as you weigh more). Thus, having the ball slightly above foot level is better to replicate the on-course situation.

Additionally, you will notice whether you are striking the ball on the heel or toe of the clubface. Fight Fire With Fire While I absolutely love this product, and I foresee it becoming a vital part of my practice routine, there are some things you should be aware of. It Is Raised Off the Hitting SurfaceAs 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 You could raise the area where you are standing by an equivalent height (don’t ask me, I’m the least handy person in the world) You can get pretty far in golf learning to do three things well: Hitting the ball before the ground, keeping your clubface relatively square, and your swing path (AKA, the direction you swing the golf club) in a pretty neutral spot. That won’t turn you into a pro overnight, but getting to a point where you can do those three things consistently can easily get you breaking 80. Unfortunately, we don’t always get to practice on real grass and see what story the divot actually tells. A lot of golfers have to practice indoors or outside on mats, especially during winter months. Most golfers don’t have access to a grass driving range. Because of the high costs of maintenance, you see more golf clubs switching to artificial turf. As such, hitting off mats is the tradeoff we all make. In my 25 years playing golf, I would say 95%+ of my range sessions are on hitting mats, and I believe it’s had a somewhat negative influence on my ground interaction on the course.
