Divot Pattern

The characteristic shape, depth, and direction of turf displacement that occurs when a golfer strikes the ground during shot execution, providing valuable feedback about swing mechanics and contact quality. Divot patterns reveal information about swing path, angle of attack, and impact position that can help golfers and instructors identify swing issues. Understanding divot analysis helps golfers improve their ball-striking consistency and swing mechanics. Professional golfers and instructors use divot patterns as diagnostic tools for swing improvement. Consistent divot patterns often indicate reliable swing mechanics and proper impact position.
