For golf swing, why do they say that you have to “push it down” to get the ball flying up?

Shane W asked:


How does the physics work? Should I aim to hit the ball under the ground?
I am an inconsitent swinger and usually keep my T’s very high for the ball to go up.

    I think you mean hit down on the ball, I’ve never heard the push it down. Pushing down with your right arm is one of the most common errors that cause a lot of bad shots. I have a lot of great links on my blog roll that can help you or you can e-mail me if you have any other questions about it.
