How To Hit Down On The Golf Ball (Without Getting Steep!)



So often we see golfers who are told to hit down on the golf ball get steep in their downswing! In this video, fellow Milo Lines Golf coach, Henry Fall and I look at a couple different ways of hitting down and creating that downward angle of attack we are all desiring for irons and wedges. We also look back, highlighting Tony Finau and his junior golf days where he learned a more shallow approach to hitting down thanks to his makeshift practice station in his garage. And a little drill you can do to sweep that ball clean off the turf! If you struggle with learning how to hit irons, whether by fat shots, thin shots, or just generally controlling the bottom of the arc, watch this video the end and you’ll find out how to get crispy ball first contact time-after-time!

  1. The truth revealed! Everyone has been told to hit down….but does it the wrong way…..one of the best video on impact! Thanks so much!

  2. Excellent. Such a good demonstration of delivery and explanation of strike. You and Henry team so well.

  3. Really good video. In the slo-mo, I saw Milo's right hand release its extension at or immediately before impact, which surprised me (I thought it was released post impact). Anyway my problem (at 77 years old) is that I have too much weight on the back foot at impact (lousy pivot) which causes my low point to be too far to the rear – causing me to hit thin most of the time. I've tried to fix it for 3 years with every drill known to golf and cannot.

  4. the feel I look for coming into the ball is the "carrier landing" with right wrist angle creating forward shaft lean–self explanatory ! same feel I used to have with right side bend hitting a hard slapper skating at right wing.

  5. When I'm hitting the best i don't feel I'm hitting down on the ball at all (even though i know i am) Very shallow divots or none. 🏌️⛳
