rsvman2 Your golf ball, same as anybody else's, is forced to follow the laws of physics. Hitting down on the ball is going to impart a lot of backspin onto the ball, which is going to make the ball go up.
Read my lips....I do not hit down on any golf ball with a driver. And they always go up. Always!
And I use lower lofts than most here.
It's why I'm such a bad golfer.
No wonder OEMs are making so much money off high lofted drivers today. They are probably the ones preaching to hit 'down' on the ball. And yes, everything you read nowadays says use more loft. Why? Because they know what people are doing out there......hitting down on the ball. It is so simple for them to sell you that club than try to convince you to change your swing a bit. Plus, there is a money factor for them.
What does 12* minus 3* equal??? Hit up!!! And they said they can't hit a 9* driver.🤔 Liars.
And when people say 'the Pros do it', well, I just laugh. Because we are not Pros and need to stop trying to copy anything they might do, because when they do it, they do it for a reason. And have practiced those shots since they could walk.
