Originally Posted by BCGolf I believe it has to do with the weight of the golf ball. The ball weighs a little over an ounce and a half and the Clubhead weighs about six ounces. When taking a practice swing through the air many players allow the Clubhead to lightly brush the grass. When making the same swing through the golf ball the collision of the ball and lofted Clubhead forces the leading edge into the ground. The more loft on the Clubhead the further it is pushed into the ground creating a deeper divot. "The more loft on the Clubhead the further it is pushed into the ground creating a deeper divot" 120 point out of 100!! The more the loft and the solider the impact, the stronger and further the pushing force (from the reforming ball off the club face) and the deeper the divot. Something like this: "Impact derailing"!! __________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact. "Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一). The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command". "Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life. Think as a golfer, execute like a robot. Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.
