The down part is fng killing me

You gotta go Down and you gotta go Out.

Doing a lot of work on mats can make a guy take out some Down out for self preservation , injury prevention reasons without him even knowing it.

On grass, picture yourself swinging a hammer, picture the ball as having a spike driven through it .....the ball is laying there in such a manner that the spike is pointed Down into the ground, sticking into the ground and pointed Out to right field. Drive that hammer right into that spike. Drive that spike staight Down and Out.

Add a horizontal hinge or an angled hinge action and a slightly closed club face at Fix and thats about it.
