i am still having trouble getting my divot to occur after hitting the ball. i really feel that my hands are def. in front of the ball at impact, but i guess i am releasing my wrists at the ball and thereby hittng the ground at or before hitting the ball. any suggestions? i'm not up on all the tgm wording, so any simple explanations welcome. not familiar with impact fix, location, etc... i basically am a good ballstriker, but the more i try to get my divots after the hit, the more i find fault.

Check your set up to ensure your ball position is correct. It should be just inside the low point of your arc. Learning to find Impact Fix will solve this for you. Check out 3-F-5 The Address Routine in the book.
If you are taking no divot, then I would say you are sweeping at the ball and not hitting down and out to low point (which is beyond the ball).
If you are hitting the ground first I'm pretty sure this isn't "good ball striking"! I've tried it!

Imagine sending your hands (force) to a spot on the ground in front of the ball and hit some chip shots with your weight all on your lead leg.
Keep your lead arm and clubshaft in a straight line and your left wrist flat (or even a touch arched) and your right wrist bent back. Pay attention to that angle in the back of your trail hand, keeping it 'fixed' until after the ball is gone. Learn to feel your trail forearm motion.

Video your motion to make sure you are doing what you think you are doing. Use a camara with a high speed shutter 1/2000 speed should do. When I film students the response I usually get is 1. Is that really my swing? 2. Am I really that fat?
Yes, that is your motion, I tell them. BTW, the camara adds ten pounds, but there is only one camara on you .
Boy, I agree with the camera comment. I did that and instantly saw my errors. I was hitting behind a bit and thought my hands were in front (they were but not by much). I worked on it and much better.
Plus, I did look kind of fat.

Agreed that video can show you a lot and if you think you are doing something, then video can be used to confirm it.
