🚨 STOP THINKING ABOUT HITTING DOWN ON THE GOLF BALL! 🚨
One of the most misunderstood concepts in golf is the instruction to simply “hit down” on your irons.
Yes, the clubhead should be travelling DOWN at impact with an iron, but here’s what most golfers don’t understand… 👇
✅ The clubhead works DOWN.
✅ The hands work UP through the hitting zone.
This relationship is critical for controlling the height of your swing arc and creating quality ground interaction.
When golfers consciously try to drive everything down towards the ball, they often lower the entire swing arc, leading to fat shots, thin strikes and inconsistent contact.
💡 Think HANDS UP, CLUB DOWN!
Combine the correct hand path with appropriate low point control and angle of attack, and you have the ingredients for far more consistent ball striking.
