The Clubhead's Down-and-Out path through Impact produces 'On Line' divots. Just 'Down' produces chunky and probably left divots.

That said, Homer Kelley loved Lee Trevino's Wedge Strokes:

"He makes a gully".

Lee's 'gully' with the Wedge is the result of three factors:

1. The steepness of the Plane Angle;

2. His back-of-center Ball Location (more Up Plane, therefore mandating that the Clubhead move more Down Plane to Low Point);

3. The extreme Loft of the Clubface that drives the Clubhead more downward (and less backward than with the lower-Lofted Clubs) during the Impact collision with the Ball. This is the 'equal and opposite' reaction of Newton's Third Law.
