Weird strike on divot board

There was no ball on it. Practicing in the front room.

Well, then not sure how you could ever Use the pattern for anything other than low point. If you don’t have a target and a flight plan that you are releasing into, you really aren’t practicing anything more than “if I stay in posture, where do I bottom out.” Even that is questionable because trajectory, curve, distance, all come into play for the type of release you should have. My .$.02, if you aren’t hitting a ball, the pretend you are and pick a flight and target in your room to pretend you are hitting a shot…if the ball mark becomes “the target” practice isn’t going to mean much.

I'm still stuck on "no matter how I manipulate the clubface"....

You have your V1 Lesson Plan, @Brandon Wall. Work your V1 Lesson Plan...

So I went back and watched some videos and the v1 coaching. So I think I was standing too close to the ball. I stepped back and all of a sudden the face was square. Who would have thought. 🥸
