As has been pointed out to you, trapping the ball against the turf is a *myth*.
There is one reason and one reason alone to hit the ball with clubhead still heading downward: cleaner contact. But hitting on a downward angle, you make it easier to hit the ball in the centre of the clubface without accidentally hitting the ground first.
