The down is so small you shouldn't "try" to hit down. Its like "trying" to hit down with the driver.

You can practice this by putting some quarters behind your ball and stack them so they are about 1/4 of the way up and then pracitce putting without hitting the quarters.

It will force you to hit the center of the ball with a slightly (again SLIGHTLY) downward strike.
