Taking a divot

[MJP]

My swing thought for hitting down is that my hands are the club head and I hold the wrist cock until my hands essentially hit down and swing through the ball. Once I get to that point I just release and the club head can't do anything but follow what my hands just did.

As long as your hands are striking down and through the ball before the club head does, you can hit down. As soon as the club head out beats your hands, you will hit it fat or thin all day depending on when you release. Either way its not good.
