Deep vs. Shallow divots

An area that sometimes confuses golfers and instructors is analyzing divots properly.  There's a distinct difference between hitting too deep into the ground and hitting too far behind the ball.  Too deep into the ground stems from a swing that's too steep or a body motion that sinking as you approach impact.  When the divot starts too far behind the ball the swing is coming in on an angle too far from the inside, the wrist cock has released too early or the lower body isn't turning through with the club.
It's important to analyze this properly so the proper correction can be made.  Below is a video supporting my written explanation.  You can find more video clips on my youtube channel at: http://youtube.com/timcusickgolf
