Though I know naught of what you do lyrically, here's what I would suggest expand your subject matter & vocabulary, focus on the syntax of your rhymes, and work your delivery... in time and with development your punchline skills will emerge.

dont forget too that a lot of guys that arent punchline mc's are still very good at them too. check dope rappers albums or mixtapes and theres usually some punchline/lyrical tracks on there.
masta ace aint a punchline mc but hes got plenty. same with louis logic a lot of other well rounded rappers.

couple of others off the top of my head
Louis Logic
Tonedeff
Icon The Mic King (he sounds mad corny, but some of his lines have made me say WoWzErS..."spit rhymes cause i hate the way my thoughts taste)
Crooked I
Illmaculate
TheSaurus is nice
cant think of too many others
listen to Vakill though...the shit he says is fucking bonkers...his flow needs work, but his lines are next level
"pulled bricks from the walls of my imagination, and threw them through the window of opportunity"
his shits bananas

Big L, Lloyd Banks, Copywrite, Juice, Vakill
Though I'm not sure you can "learn" how to write punchlines better. Punchlines are really simple to write, the hardest part is the idea itself.

First of all, it was my opinion. No more, no less. Calm down. Their accent is just an ADDITIONAL reason why they suck, as far as I care.
Secondly, you started whining like YOU are part of that lame ass group or something. Why do YOU give a fuck if I think THEY are wack? Silly faggot, Nut-hugging's for kids!!
Lastly, watch your typing tone when you type at me, Sugarboobs. I would -Rep you, but apparently CC has decided almost unamymously that you suck, so I would just be beating a dead gay horse by attacking you in that fashion.
Now, thanks for coming out and have a nice day.

i wish Copy were rollin with someone that's on his level, i guess

Jakki has a few okay lines, compared to Copy's constant heat, but his scheme is too basic...i feel that it brings Copy's shit down a level

Well what do we all consider a punchline? I see it as more of a battle rhyme...not wordplay or metaphoring. I think they're all different. But that is just me.

Listening to Chino is a great way to learn punchlines because he is an example of what works best with punchlines but also what works worst.
