One of the worst ways you can practice is off of mats. They cause wrist injuries, create unpredictable ball flights, and provide no feedback about club path and face mistakes at impact. 

The Divot Board is the perfect training aid to simulate the feedback you would get from hitting off perfectly cut fairways. The board has rubber nubs on its bottom that easily dig into turf mats or carefully rests in your living room or office. It’s a personal launch monitor that works with or without hitting a golf ball.

The two reference lines and ball mark on the product will tell you what would have happened with your shot. Here’s how you can tell.
