In fact the opposite is true - the more descending the blow the higher the ball will fly.
One drill for this is to hit small, half shots, leading with the hands (hands aahead of clubhead at impact) and with a mental picture of trying to "cover" the ball with the club head. The idea is to hit the ball first - ground second with a decending blow.
This gives you the feel of good contact and you can gradually work your way up to a full swing, incorporating the same swing thoughts.
