Product Information

So how “deep” should your divot be? I once had a coach say , “Your divots should look like a thin strip of bacon.” To make the most of this new golf gadget, you want to make sure you have adequate room to use it. While the dimensions itself are small (22” long x 6” wide), you need to have enough room to swing the club. Plus, you want to make sure you have a sturdy surface to use the board as well. Typically, players get away with striking behind the ball on a range mat (as it just bounces up and gives the player a false-sense of competence). However, when using the Divot Board, even though a fat shot is more forgiving than on grass, you’re going to see your error visually. 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? Using the Divot Board will give you a sense of how your golf swing is moving, without having to think much about it

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. 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. Welcome to Play Smart, a regular GOLF.com game-improvement column that will help you play smarter, better golf.

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 How your golf club interacts with the turf is perhaps one of the most important ball-striking fundamentals. However, it is rarely spoken about in the instructional world for many reasons. Another option is to use the Divot Board without hitting the golf ball. This might be a great option for players who can only take practice swings in their house but not hit balls.

For example, if you’re on the range hitting pull cuts, you can use the board to verify the divot pattern going left. Then, using the board, adjust your swing as needed to get a straight divot. Once you do it a few times on the device, hit some actual balls on the range to hone your new swing. Can you buy a replacement pad? But once in a while, something comes out that grabs my full attention. Last year it was the Perfect Practice Putting Mat and the PRGR Launch Monitor. I never fully know why a product becomes a hit, but sometimes I try something and think to myself, “oh, that’s a home run.”But what if there was a training aid that could help you reverse engineer your swing to hit it more consistently? No, this device does not allow you to hit real golf balls with it. Instead, you take swings, learn from the divot, and then make adjustments as needed. If you push the golf ball, your divot will be to the right of your target. Just like the other example, the face at impact will determine if it’s a push cut, straight push, or push draw. The great thing about the Divot Board is that it will work on rubber mats, on turf, and even on your carpet in your home. The Divot Board stays in place wherever you put it, and you can repeatedly swing without having to adjust it each time.
