Toe-Deep Divots? Your Swing Plane Might Be the Problem 👀
Top Speed Golf's Clay Ballard explains that toe-deep divots are caused by high hands at impact resulting from an over-the-top swing plane. By relaxing the wrists in transition to shallow the club shaft, golfers can naturally keep their hands lower and strike the turf with a square clubface.
Toe-deep divots indicate that your hands are raising through impact to compensate for an over-the-top swing path.
Trying to force your hands low without shallowing the club leads to severe pulls left or open-faced blocks right.
Relax your wrists at the top of the swing during transition to allow the club to shallow below the shaft line.
Shallowing the club path enables your hands to naturally stay low through impact for flush, square divots.
