Diagnose a shallow iron low point at the ball

The instructor describes a shallow iron player as hitting from the back foot, approaching from the inside, getting the club stuck behind, and adding loft so the ball is punted upward. In the demonstrated shots, scraping contact and an angle of attack only 1.4 degrees down place the club's lowest point at the ball.
