Today at the driving range I was having a really tough time of taking a divot. I was still making okay contact when I picked it clean, but I still had a tendency to really thin the ball. It's bizarre because even when I try to hit down on the ball 50% of the time, still no divot. I'm positive that my problem is not that I am flicking my wrists at impact either. Any ideas? Drills? Thanks.

I went back to non flipping drills, and downloaded the Manzella Former Flipper video and my divots are back and looking pretty. Unless you're like Tom Watson and just fortunate enough to pick it clean even though using proper swing mechanics. It can happen. But I didnt think I was flipping either but got the camera out and poof! there it was in living color! The flip!

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
