    Oh, that makes more sense.

    Wind always has less effect on a punch shot so you'll lose fewer yards into a headwind.  Add in full top spin and it's not surprising you got full distance out of it.  I assume the total shot distance was 68 yards, this was not the distance the ball flew?  A punch rolls out more on landing than a full shot, especially with top spin.

    Nothing very strange going on if you ask me.
