Hitting down on the ball is a misnomer, because your body should actually be heading slightly upwards while your hands are still cocked. Learn how to hit down on the ball with help from a professional golf instructor in this free video on golf swings.

  • A much more common sense approach is probably move the ball back in your stance and hands forward at address. Then make normal swing without worrying about lag, cocked wrists, moving your body into the ball or away from the ball, etc. Golf is fun when you don't have to worry about adjusting 1,000 variables!!! jesus

  • @TheRangepro I agree here. It is almost like they are intentionally trying to confuse people by making everything over-complicated. Makes perfect sense since the more confused you become the more lessons you need and the more money the teaching pros make.

  • This is SO BAD>>>>> no wonder people can't hit the golf ball! >>>I will tell you this >>I HIT DOWN WITH THE CLUB HEAD! Tommy Bolt said "down to go up, right to go left and left to go right"...............

  • @toolbagcentral You're the dumbass

  • @TheWocclan Not to go off topic but I agree. It's his name, his pronunciation.

  • @toolbagcentral ummm i think he know how to say his name....

  • The divot in this vid starts b4 the ball lol... Anyhoo, the language used in here is terrifically dangerous, look at how many modern players appear to lose height through impact. The comment about knees, shoulders etc forming upward angles is very slight with good players & increases with worse ball strikers. Although some will find this helps, the majority will get worse. Sorry... Plus, the geezer who says he slices with this, check your grip, probably weak left hand... Make certain your club

  • its not the tip that is causing you to slice you are likely coming from the outside in. try, at the top of your swing re-route. go from inside to out then make sure to close your face after contact

  • this is a really good instructional video he keeps it simple and i can use these tips as swings thoughts

  • hook
