Whoever teaches golfers to "hit up" and/or "sweep" fairway woods and drivers ought to be BANNED from teaching. Check out the slow motion footage of Ernie Els when the camera is focused on the ball. If the clubface is pointing at the ground post impact, any person in his / her right mind will deduce that the clubhead is travelling on a downward trajectory.
And while you are watching, just ignore the commentary. Its an object case of "overexplaining the obvious and underexplaining the necessary."
Golf is not rocket science. The golf swing is a circle - you either hit up or down. If you are not hitting up, then you are hitting down. There are no flat spots for you to "sweep" the ball as sexy a concept as that may be.
It is this very thing about trying to hit up on the long irons, fairway woods and drivers that causes all manner of weak shots - topped shots, pop ups etc.
The next time you pull out one of the longer clubs, hit down on them and watch them fly.
Newton's 3rd Law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
You hit DOWN on the ball, your scores will go DOWN.
You hit UP on the ball, your scores will go UP.
