Unofficial Review Thread: The Divot Board


GolfSpy MPR

Recommended Posts

First update: I placed my order on Monday; I received my shipping notification the same day.

USPS. Nuts.

But a round of applause for the Postal Service on this one: they've actually beaten their scheduled delivery day. The Divot Board started its journey in California, with a scheduled delivery of Saturday. When I checked this morning, it was on the truck for delivery today, a day early. I should be able to grab it at lunch and give it its first test swings this afternoon.

I was literally trying to find places that make custom pattern sequin fabric to build my own but gave up 🙂

Saw this talked about on another golf forum. Interesting idea, but also not so interested at that price.

But...

As I'm reading MPR's posts, a thought (possibly brilliant, but more possibly not) popped into my head -- would spraying a stripe with Dr. Scholl's foot spray (or, say, spreading a little chalk or flour) onto your hitting mat effectively serve the same function??

You could do those but you would have to redraw the lines every shot. The aid just requires you to sweep the mat in the opposite direction; just seconds with you clubhead.

I have one as well... Initial impressions:

- the rubber base is thick and sturdy, almost 1" all in unless used on a surface where the rubber spikes can dig in. Given how much Adam Young talks about arc depth (I've bought all 3 three of his subscriptions) I feel you need a stance mat to go along with the Divot Board. 

- I've began using it for a "9 Box" drill mentioned by Lou Stagner on a podcast: hitting inside/outside edge and center of board in front of, behind, and in line with the ball mark to add some differential practice on ground contact.

- getting ground impact location and path direction feedback without a ball is valuable 

- compact and portable, I throw it on my living room floor and take full swings barefoot in the house. The thick rubber base eliminates any worry of damage to my hardwood floors or hard feedback on the joints. 

Mine has about 100 swings on it, I was initially concerned as there is visible wear and tear after the first few solid strikes. But after some minor damage it hasn't changed much over the last few sessions. I can see it being useful for thousands of hits even if a few sequins fall off. They all appear to be individually stitched to the board.

Would the rukket stance mat suffice or are there better cheaper opinions out there? In theory, wouldn’t it also change being shoes vs barefoot?

Except for the tee box, there is not a flat stance at my course... or at least I never hit the ball there if there is one.

So if you think about the price, that’s about ten large buckets of range balls for the ability to practice at home with no net. I may just pull the trigger

I would use a yoga mat or area rug or something else cheap. Doesn’t need to be turf just to stand on. Barefoot doesn’t help either, but if it’s already 1” too high another 1/4-1/2” isn’t going to matter. Not trying to ingrain the height either way.

I just don’t know if I could even hit the board properly with it elevated. I have a hitting mat that is two-to-three times that wide and it gives me the heebie-jeebies!!!

Still getting regular use, both by Kirke and by me. I posted this yesterday, in which Kirke shows off just ridiculous levels of skill that I cannot match:

The wear on the board is obvious. Little bits of sequin come off each session; I don't think that the full sequin comes off the board, but the sequins appear to have layers (the different colors), and they separate. If you put in a half hour with it, you'll see three or four bits on the carpet that need to be picked up.

But so far, there is no loss of functionality. It is still completely obvious where you've struck your shot. The wear, to this point, is entirely cosmetic. Sure, it would be nice if it looked nicer; the fact that it looks really worn even after your first handful of swings is not ideal. But we're still quite a ways from having to shop for the replacement panel.

But right now, when it comes time to get the replacement panel, I have every intention of getting one (or two).

Thanks for the update. Hopefully Kirke gets an endorsement from them when he goes pro! This seems like if they had a price point of $65-75 would be more reasonable. Although. It’s the price of two lessons now (I missed out on the Adam young deal) so still value in that sense. I am tempted but with the back order to March, I’d be able to go to the range again. OTOH, I could now just practice at home

Thanks for the update. Hopefully Kirke gets an endorsement from them when he goes pro! This seems like if they had a price point of $65-75 would be more reasonable. Although. It’s the price of two lessons now (I missed out on the Adam young deal) so still value in that sense. I am tempted but with the back order to March, I’d be able to go to the range again. OTOH, I could now just practice at home

Yeah, the price is tough to swallow. On the other hand, it's hard to argue on a market level: he introduced them at $100, sold out, increased the price to $125 (I think) and sold out again.

Definitely intrigued by this, but in the spirit of DIY (and cheapskateness and product unavailability) .. I put a "Flat Ball" (could also use a ball marker, poker chip, etc.) about 2 inches in front of the ball - the goal, of course, to make that the low point of your swing ...

Totally in on this. We often use Flat Balls with the Divot Board.

Here's another idea: get a strip of mat or carpet on top of your normal hitting surface, and put the ball near the back of it. Demands that you're really precise with strike:

I think I mentioned this in another thread, but I've got one of these on order and hopefully it'll be in soon. I picked it up through Practical Golf along with one of his books and full access to his site for $115. Like some of the others, the price was a bit hard to swallow, but I'm hoping the feedback will pay for itself during my net sessions.

Watching all the videos @GolfSpy MPR has posted of Kirke on here and Twitter was the tipping point for me buying this. You guys should be getting some commission for the great work you've done promoting the Divot Board. Kirke is just so crazy good in them.

I'll try to follow up on collecting that commission. For Kirke's college fund, of course 🙂

Like I said, I cannot begin to compare to @Kirke in the "call it in the backswing" drill, but I did a little work this afternoon just intentionally, from the same stance, purposefully hitting different spots on the board, or even getting a swing that just touches the board while barely disturbing any sequins. After several minutes of those kinds of drills, I found my success going back to hitting the "correct" spot on the board increasing significantly (as Adam Young would predict).

I'll add this: I'm really excited that this might be a big key to starting off my season well here. As most of you know, our season is short. And even when the course opens, it's generally very soft for many weeks after opening as it's continuing to dry out from the winter's snow on a clay-soil course. Because it's so often wet, fat shots are punished pretty severely: I've compared it to playing everything from a fairway bunker. Normal winter practice can actually hurt in this regard: a normal mat lets you get away with fat shots. So all that to say, I'll definitely be checking into this thread in a couple of months to let you know if I come out of the gates with some crisper ball-striking than is customary for me.
