Use a ball-above-feet hill lie to shallow the club

PorzakGolf's coach uses a hill, hitting with the ball above your feet, to shallow the club naturally. Because the ground sits closer to you, getting steep makes you hit it heavy, so you're forced to complete your turn with a good hand path, stay more in the slot, and swing a little more to right field to make solid contact. The lie does the shaping, so the swing shallows out automatically.
