Punch shot in Golf

Reviewer The best one here - explains the cause and effect, not just the steps.

Moderator Whole video is the punch shot build, comparing stock shot to the modified one, nothing else in the mix.

Reviewer Explains why, not just what -- strong lesson.

Moderator Squarely about executing a punch shot in a real on-course situation, and specifically explains what separates it from a similar shot (the knockdown) based on lie quality -- exactly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Explains cause/effect with a smart verification drill.

Moderator A deep, two-part masterclass -- striking cleanly off tight links lies (ball position, face angle, and the resulting push/draw trade-off) and separately keeping the ball down in wind (weight left, short back-and-through). Squarely and thoroughly on-topic.

Reviewer Explains the why with real coaching pedigree.

Moderator Squarely and expertly about hitting a low punch shot into the wind -- same setup as a pitch shot but with a longer club, choked down, face closed slightly, swung at pitch pace to avoid spin fighting the wind.

Reviewer Explains the why, not just the what -- excellent.

Moderator Squarely, deeply about executing a punch/flighted shot -- ball position relative to sternum/pelvis ('covering the ball'), choking up, shortened swing, and how it scales with club length.

Reviewer As concise and clean a punch-shot lesson as you'll find -- every step earns its place.

Moderator Tight, entirely on-topic four-step plan for the punch shot, nothing else in it.

Reviewer Concrete, checkable, credible -- strong lesson.

Moderator Squarely a low-punch-shot lesson -- club selection reasoning (low-lofted 5-iron), specific setup (ball back, 80% weight left), and shortened swing, demonstrated face-on.

Reviewer Specific, checkable, credible -- excellent.

Moderator Squarely and precisely about hitting a low punch shot -- choke down, ball back, forward press, specific weight distribution (65/35), and a follow-through height limit as the low-ball key.

Reviewer Systematic and clear -- covers every setup detail that matters.

Moderator Entirely devoted to the punch or knockdown shot, systematically covering every setup variable that matters.

Reviewer The most technically detailed punch shot lesson here -- genuinely teaches the mechanism.

Moderator The punch shot section is long and specific -- a real on-course situation, 85 metres with a tree in the way, covering strike location on the face, dynamic loft numbers, and angle of attack. It moves on to compare the knockdown and stinger afterward, which is useful context, not a distraction.

Reviewer Explains the why, not just the how -- good stuff.

Moderator Entirely and specifically about the punch or knockdown shot into the wind -- this is the sub-skill from start to finish.

Reviewer The chicken-wing/pull-hook diagnosis is the single most useful insight in this whole batch of punch shot videos.

Moderator Setup, ball flight goal, and the actual swing fault that ruins the shot for most people -- all punch shot, all the way through.

Reviewer Explains the part everyone skips -- why moving the ball back only works if the handle stays where it is.

Moderator Same story as the other Chris Ryan punch shot video -- entirely setup and delivery for the low shot.

Reviewer Explains the mechanism properly, and flags the exact way most people undo their own setup mid-swing.

Moderator Nothing but punch shot setup and ball-flight mechanics here.

Reviewer Explains the common mistake that undoes itself - genuinely useful detail.

Moderator Entire video is this shot - why you'd hit it, club choice, setup, the common way people botch it. Fully on-topic.

Reviewer This is the one that explains why it works, not just what to do - strong.

Moderator PGA pro dedicates the entire video to the punch shot - the common misses (hook, deep divot, ballooning it), the fix, and the demonstration. Nothing else competing for airtime.

Reviewer Concrete enough that a beginner could follow it.

Moderator Squarely a punch-shot lesson -- explicit 3-step method (ball back, weight left, hands ahead) framed around a chip-and-run analogy, from a credible PGA professional.

Reviewer Explains why each setup change works, not just what to do -- that's what makes it stick.

Moderator Three clean steps, all specifically about building the punch shot from setup to finish.

Reviewer Explains the physics, not just the setup - and gives you a drill to own it.

Moderator Entirely about executing the punch shot in wind specifically - narrow open stance, weight left, 3/4 swing, ball position, and a dedicated drill. Never wanders off subject.

Reviewer Clear technique, proven on a real shot - good lesson.

Moderator Complete punch shot technique - club selection, ball position back in stance, hands forward, choking down, compact no-release swing - demonstrated on a real shot under trees.

Reviewer Good pedagogy -- student nails it on camera.

Moderator Squarely a punch-shot lesson -- three simple, concrete keys (choke down, stand closer, low finish) demonstrated live with a student successfully applying them.

Reviewer Explains the actual physics correctly and backs it with real numbers — better than most.

Moderator Entirely about hitting the ball low in the wind — club selection for trajectory, ball position effects on dynamic loft, and the common mistake of playing it too far back. All punch-shot fundamentals.

Reviewer Solid, structured, easy to follow - a touch of subscribe-plug padding.

Moderator PGA teaching pro walks through building a low punch shot start to finish - loft, clubhead speed, setup. No detours.

Reviewer Specific, usable numbers and positions -- this is how you teach a punch shot.

Moderator Entire video is the punch shot for a real course situation -- ball position, swing length, club selection, all specifically about hitting it low under a tree. Exactly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Good added nuance on shaping the punch shot, not just hitting it straight.

Moderator Real lesson entirely focused on hitting a low punch out of trouble with directional control, including a face/grip adjustment to shape it. Stays on the shot from start to finish.

Reviewer Targeted fix for a real, specific flaw.

Moderator Squarely about a punch-shot sequencing problem (why punch shots want to hook) and a specific 3/4 drill to fix it -- on-topic and diagnostic.

Reviewer Explains the why, not just the how — good for a short clip.

Moderator Squarely the punch shot — low trajectory under branches, with the actual ball-flight mechanism (compression) explained.

Reviewer Good bones under the chit-chat - real setup detail, not just vibes.

Moderator Coach-and-student format (Indonesian) but every minute of it is spent building the punch shot piece by piece - stance, ball position, grip, weight, backswing length, the deceleration through impact. On topic throughout.

Reviewer Solid specific method, a little repetitive.

Moderator Squarely about playing punch shots in wind/firm links conditions -- going up a club and swinging 3/4, ball position, and swing-plane control.

Reviewer Solid, no-nonsense basics — exactly what you need for a first attempt at this shot.

Moderator Clean, direct technique breakdown: choke down, extra club, ball position for lie, low finish. Nothing but the punch shot fundamentals, no tangents.

Reviewer Good practical advice — don't be a hero, here's how to flight it down instead.

Moderator Real in-the-trees coaching on escaping trouble with a low punch — club selection, de-lofting by hand position, not overswinging. Stays on the shot itself the whole way through.

Reviewer Solid practical tips, a bit brief and casual in delivery.

Moderator Squarely a punch shot lesson, framed around a real on-course problem -- getting under branches -- with specific setup detail.

Reviewer Brief, but every point in it is useful.

Moderator Focused and specific to the punch shot -- weight forward, choke down, club up, three-quarter swing. No filler.

Reviewer Correct fundamentals from a tour pro, but it's more a checklist than an explanation.

Moderator Core three keys are squarely punch shot technique, though it's shorter on substance than others because a chunk of the runtime is personal anecdote and reaction shots rather than teaching.

Reviewer Good quick look, but it's thin - no real 'why', just 'do this.'

Moderator Whole clip is one real on-course punch shot situation - trees overhead, has to keep it under the limbs. Choke down, ball back, weight left, hit-and-hold: that's the shot, start to finish. Docking a bit only because it's framed as a single scenario rather than the shot in general.

Reviewer Correct advice, but light on real detail.

Moderator Squarely about the punch shot -- ball back, club up, swing smoother. Correct content, just delivered quickly and a little loosely.

Reviewer Right idea, message gets muddled by the act.

Moderator A real, common punch-shot scenario -- escaping under trees -- is genuinely being taught here, just wrapped in a comedic on-course persona bit that dilutes the instructional density.

Reviewer Reasonable simplification, light on specifics.

Moderator On-topic -- towel-snap feel plus (per caption) hands pressed forward and weight forward for a punch shot into the wind.

Reviewer Good feel cue, but no concrete setup info.

Moderator Same content as the Scratch Golf Academy TikTok clip -- punch shots used as a drill to teach core/hip-driven arm stability, real but not focused on the shot's own setup.

Reviewer Good feel cue, but no concrete setup info.

Moderator Punch shots are used here as a drill to teach arm stability via core/hip engagement -- genuinely about the shot, but as a vehicle for a broader stability lesson rather than teaching the shot's setup.

Reviewer Barely enough instruction here to call it a lesson.

Moderator He's explicitly hitting a punch shot on request and naming the adjustments (more club, ball forward a touch in the stance, commit through it, keep the face square) so it is on topic, it's just wrapped in a lot of vlog chatter about his round and his club championship.

Reviewer Fine as a quick refresher, thin if you actually need to learn the shot.

Moderator There's a real technique section in here -- choke down, ball back off the trail foot, minimal wrist, rotate through -- but a large share of the video is course-management chat about picking the safest gap to aim at, which is a different skill (course strategy, not stroke technique).

Reviewer Good concept, thin on actual punch-shot how-to.

Moderator Punch shots are the stated destination, but most of the clip is about creating ball speed via center-face contact and shaft lean/deloft in the abstract -- the punch-shot connection is tacked on at the end.
