Once you loosen them up and get full extension you will see the divot appear. I have made non divot takers start taking divots countless time just by getting them to turn OFF their arms.
Hi Paul
You’ve told about left or right divot.
For my swing, they are straight or lighty left, but my divots often starts two or three inches before the ball.
I take care about loosening my arms, starting my hips first, and keeping my head on my back foot as you recommend.
It identifies what kind of problem in my swing ?
Thanks for yours advices
Jean
If you are hitting before the golf ball then you have too much weight on your back foot at contact. Once you work on those other areas in your golf swing then start thining about turning your body to hit the actual shots.

KennethMoffatI almost never take a divot. That seems to be a requirement, correct?

Paul WilsonKenneth,
You should be taking a divot. If you are not you are hitting with your arms. This is the tell-tale sign.

Paul WilsonKenneth,
I would think I could still take a divot with these clubs. If so, you should too.
