Want to hit it higher? Stop trying to “hit down” harder. ⛳️

In this video from Scratch Golf Academy, golfers learn why simply trying to hit down harder on the ball fails to create higher shot trajectory. The instruction focuses on how proper swing plane, hip movement, and impact position work together to effectively control launch angle and ball flight.

• Stop trying to hit down harder to force the ball higher into the air.
• Trajectory control is governed by swing plane, body rotation, and proper impact position.
• Focus on proper hip movement and dynamic loft management rather than an overly steep angle of attack.
