Divot Board

[Ty_Webb]

Hi all,

I did a search and didn't see anything. Mark Crossfield did a video review of the divot board just recently here: 

I think it looks interesting and I actually have one, but he posted the review on twitter and someone asked him about how thick it is and if that would have an impact. He said he covers that in the video. I watched the video and if he covered it, he did it faster than I could recognize or perhaps in reverse or something. Anyway, I have a concern that the thickness of the board is going to have you calibrating your strike on something that's a good half an inch or so higher than your feet. I can still see it being useful in so far as it can help you adjust your strike point, but it doesn't seem perfect to me. What do people think? If you used this, would you want to stand on something that was a similar height to the divot board itself? Or am I being silly and it's like chipping barefoot and not really something to worry about?

Well that may be a concern I don’t think it’s a significant one as you could also grip down a quarter inch or something.

i’ve heard these wear out quite quickly as you might expect.

Thanks Erik!
 

You’re telling me that a hunk of metal colliding with sequins at 100mph is going to damage them? Mine is still fine 🙂 probably a function of how much I use it. I do quite like Mark’s final tip. If you used it exclusively for that it would last just about forever.

Exclusively for what?
