This is a very important topic and essential to learning the Complete Golf Swing. So far what I thought I had been learning is already the complete golf swing but now I realized that it has to be complemented by how the divot is executed.
The divot is really the end part of the golf swing which is essentially a chip or a pitch if considered by itself and not part of the full swing. Let me say this, if a golfer does not know how to stop or put spin to his chips or pitches, he will never know how to make a divot perfectly.
So how do one correctly make a chip or pitch stop abruptly? Well it is the realization, the the chip or pitch is essential a "pull" of the club-head towards the ball. The hands are pulled past the ball and the club-head allowed to rebound back to the ball.
How the hands play with the rebound is essentially a different matter. On chips and pitches, the hands can make the ball roll further, stop on its tracks.
On full shots it can create a divot. AND THE MOVE CREATING A DIVOT IS THE FINISH OF THE GOLF SWING! It is the replacement to my "face the target" move. It is the delayed hit! IT IS THE SECRET OF THE PROS! It creates the spin that pulls the ball back. It is the part of the swing that adds the distance to the hit. It replaces my right hip move.
