The last couple of times when I went out on the course on my own, I took a rubber range tee with me, placed it 10 - 12 inches behind my ball in line with the outside of my clubhead and practiced Skill 2. I found that I was hitting the ball really solidly and straight. It also helped me with my timing in that I didn`t seem to rush from the top for fear of hitting the rubber tee. I seemed to turn on the speed about half way down and ended in a nice balanced position. Anyway, my question is this, what shape should my divots be? You see, every one of my divots went from right to left yet I don`t think I was swinging out to in otherwise I would have hit the rubber tee. Any thoughts on this anyone?

Re: What shape should my divots be?
Hi Arny,
Good to hear of your improvements.
If you are bringing your club from inside to square to inside the your club will strike the ground as it is turning back in, so it should be pointing slightly left. The main test will be ball flight, if it's to target then all is well. -
Re: What shape should my divots be?
I'll fully agree with this - it sounds like 3skills focuses on a body driven rotational swing. When executed correctly, the divots will point a little left of the target line (as you're swinging back inside after striking the ball). Your standard divot should also be shallow (leave the grass roots showing). Moving a ton of earth indicates a steep AoA (not necessarily bad, especially if you're trying to get a ton of spin).Originally posted by BrianW View PostComment
