Powerful Jab- Is this an illusion?

[donnydarkoIRL]

Donny, It all depends where the back foot is in relation to the shoulder for drive and delivery. Also movement after the punch being in balance for where you want to be. One senario to get the idea is kicking a ball as hard as you can, when youve found the best way to drive the ball . Think where the back foot is in the relation to the shoulder for drive, thats where it should be after the jab

I understand what your saying Scrap.
I'll write that down actually.

I felt that footwork is waht infleunces this alright.

If I stand side on, making my body a small target my jab is faster, more flicking and obviously less powerful.
I employ this at the start of a round as usually the opponent is fresher and more sharp defensively.

But then if I stand more square on with my feet almost at opposite sides of the hypotonuuse of an imaginary 90 degree triangle, I can throw the jab across my shoulder (and thus protecting my chin) with great power.
I use that when I'm very toe to toe to get distance or when the opponent is tired.
