Punch out of trees off a bare lie

The lie is described as bare, similar to a forest floor, and the shot is intended to stay low. The stated setup uses a seven iron with the ball back, hands forward, an earlier hinge, and release one. The hands are kept forward at impact, while the explicitly identified key is maintaining the low trajectory for long enough.
