I have a big problem with telegraphing my jab. The problem is that my elbow flares while throwing the left jab. I saw a neat trick mentioned by Scrap about jabbing while standing next to a wall to help straighten it out. That has worked some, but here's my problem:
The lead arm should be vertical to the floor (or so I have been told). My flexibility in my shoulders and chest has always been kind of poor, so my lead arm always drifts to the right, I hold it about at 2 o'clock. When I hold it straight at 12 o'clock, I feel tension in my shoulder. Specifically the outer head of my lead shoulder. It dosent feel natural and my shoulders tire just trying to strain to hold it in this position.
What exercises/stretches can I do to help loosen the arm and make it more natural? I feel this will help keep that jab straight.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
