Imagine the divot as something that is a product of the manner in which you set up , not something you go down and after with your swing.

Thanks OB. Your choice of words struck a chord with me. I don't need to force a divot - it is a natural consequence of the appropriate machine setup.

In your first response you mentioned the release type. This is a really foggy area for me. I don't really have a grasp of release types and triggers, let alone know which variations I employ. Do you have any additional comments on the release of irons vs woods.

I can only describe what I feel. For woods, there is no conscious thought. Release just happens. I feel as if I trust centrifugal force and go along for the ride. If I had to guess, I'd say a sweep release. For irons, it seems to be a sharper/crisper/more abrupt delivery as opposed to going along for the ride of the orbiting clubhead. I periodically arrive at impact with an (over) bent right wrist/right arm (having to make a god-awful compensation just to get the clubhead in the vicinity of the ball) And a glancing blow severely right, not a shank but a severely open clubface. That "wilted feeling of a blocked shot"

Again, back to my question. Why so easy with woods and so difficult with irons.

Thanks
