Hitting down on the ball, IMHO is one of the worst pieces of advice that golfers have been given over the years.
Usually students have been told this when they are trying to scoop the ball into the air.
The thought of hitting down usually makes them slam the club into the ground. There are other ideas and drills that can help with the problem of scooping. Just as there are drills, training aids and thoughts that can help with the problem of slamming the club into the ground in an effort to "hit down on the ball".
See a PGA professional and get some help. Ask your instructor about this particular aid. It might help, it might not depending on what exactly you're doing. There might be drills that you can be given that will help you to correct the problem.
