Francesco's punch shot
How to keep it down in the wind
Stay square
Position the ball back in your stance which will de-loft the club and move your hands forward but make sure that the clubface, which will want to open slightly, remains square to the target.
Stay over it
As long as the hands return ahead of the ball at impact you will produce a punched flight as required. The two key things to remember are to turn your shoulders in the backswing and keep your torso over the ball at impact.
Low and hold
Keep the club low to the ground – this is the finishing position you should be looking to replicate.
