Hi Bambam.

My 2 cents on it:

It's pretty windy those days here near Paris and the greens where I play are pretty hard and rolling.

Under these conditions, the priority is to be consistent: to achieve consistency we must not allow the wind to catch the ball and play with it.
Therefore, the solution is to hit it low - Ok, sorry, everyone knows that!

But low trajectories on hard greens can only stick with tons of backspin applied to the ball.

So the solution for me is to hit strong punch shots - short backswing, short followthrough with a strong downward blow!

You talk about "doing smoother punch shots with the wedges" but I think you will still hit it too high with not enough backspin.
How about taking, say, a 9 iron instead of a SW and punch it strong with a half lengh stroke? Should do the same yardage but with a lower trajectory and lots of sticky backspin?
