How to Use Your DivotMat
For best results, place the DivotMat on a soft surface such as driving mat or carpet and attach an image sheet to the convenient, pre-attached adhesive strip.
Take your iron, address one of the ball images and swing away. The rubber base absorbs the force of your swing while the image sheet records exactly how and where you are striking the ball. Once you know what you are doing wrong, it's easy to make the corrections for better ball contact and improve your game.
Instructional DVD
After a few swings, you should begin to notice a pattern in the DivotMarks left behind by your swing. Now you can turn to another powerful solution in the DivotMat System: the Laird Small Instructional DVD.
Laird Small, Director of the prestigious Pebble Beach Golf Academy, works with you in this DVD to help fix and maintain your swing. Many subjects are addressed, from taking a proper posture to curing the most common problem shots. Using the DivotMat System, Laird will help you to maximize your ballstrking ability and begin your journey to scratch golf.

How the DivotMat will Benefit You
Feedback: The DivotMat provides immediate feedback on your swing. Taking this feedback and utilizing tips from Laird Small on the DVD you can begin to correct your swing flaws.
Ballstriking: Fred Couples has always been known as a good ballstriker and extremely accurate when going for the green. The DivotMat will help you to consistently make crisper shots and improve your ballstriking and accuracy when hitting your irons.

How to Interpret the Results
|
 |
"Scooping" (releasing wrists too early)
Scooping can cause lack of distance, inconsistent ball contact, fat, thin or topped shots.
To fix scooping, make sure the ball location in your stance is correct (refer to the instructional DVD) for the club you are using.
|
 |
Standing too close to the ball
Sometimes you are hitting on the far side of the ball because you have adjusted your posture or lengthened your arms to compensate for standing too close to the ball.
Instead, check your posture and stance (refer to the instructional DVD) then move your feet farther from the ball while maintaining proper posture.
|
 |
Standing too far from the ball
Make sure you have "three bends" in your stance.
After you have verified that your posture and stance are correct (refer to the instructional DVD), move a few inches closer to the ball.
|
 |
Hitting it thin
Usually this type of shot is caused by a swing plane that is too flat causing the club to barely hit the turf and even causing the occaisional topped shot.
Check your posture and stance (refer to the instructional DVD).
|
 |
Slice or pull, depending on clubface
Most of the time, a slice or pull is caused by a sequencing issue -- the shoulder has started ahead of the arm on the downswing.
A slice can also be caused by the ball being too far forward in your stance which will open your shoulders at address. Make sure you have the correct ball location and shoulder alignment (refer to the instructional DVD).
|
 |
Hook or push shot, depending on clubface angle
Begin by checking your setup to make sure you are not too far under and the ball is not located in the back of your stance. To fix a hook or a push, look to see if your shoulders are parallel to your body lines and to the target: your arms will follow the lead of your shoulders.
Make sure your feet, hips and shoulders are in the same parallel alignment. If your DivotMark points to the left, make an effort to feel like your lead shoulder points a bit to the right. |
 |
Excellent contact
Remember, golf is one of the few sports where a coach is not involved during the practice sessions.
The DivotMat can act as your coach if you know what to look for. The DivotMat will not replace professional instruction, but it will give you immediate feedback and let you know what you are doing right, and perhaps more importantly, what you are doing wrong. |
