Trying to force a swing down on the ball is hard to do consistently. Keeping the weight forward and holding the flying wedge is something you can learn the body, it is also something one should do for most swings.

I agree with Zeph (heh heh, because he agrees with me on this, I think...).

Your weight is not far enough forward at impact. Heck, the ball might be too far back leading you to leave your weight back in an attempt to hit the ball.

      I have had the flu recently which gave me plenty of time to pore over Joseph Mayo’s instagram. I have hit a ton of shots each day on carpet and a little started how easy this shot is to make. Key thought for me is bring the club “no closer to the earth.” That really resonated with me. If I really steepen the attack angle I can hit my 58* lob wedge barely an inch or two off the ground and a repeatable distance. I don’t recommend this but tried it to what the end ranges are for angle of descent. I actually think a 62*-64* wedge might be even better for this shot.
