Choke up and cut a ball-below-feet chip
When the ball is below your feet you stand above it, so you tend to see it thin and can hit it higher than normal. To counter this, don't choke down the grip; feel like you're at the top of the grip or even above it, and keep plenty of knee flex with bouncy knees. Get a little steeper, move the swing plane more in front and go out-to-in with a fade, aiming left. Use an earlier wrist hinge and always a release one, holding the loft.
