What punch do youhave the most trouble landing, or find to be your least effective punch? The one you can't seem to score with or, when you do land, seems to have little impact, or the one that most often gets you into trouble so far as being countered. Why do you find that punch to be problematic?
For me, I would have to say my worst/most troublesome punch would be myleft hook, to either head or body. That is also one of my favorite punches when thrownas a counter; my reference here is to throwing it as an attacking punch. Got me hit with more right hands than I'd care to confess to, or it was blocked, orI felt I was slapping (tothe head) with it more times than not. The reason, I believe, was in the angle of the left arm. As a counter I kept it very close and thus hit much harder while opening up less, not to mention that my target was exposed and vulnerable. In the "forward" mode the punch- the angle of it- opened too wide too get the shoulder into it fully and there was a tendency to reach with it, especially to the body.
What is your worst punch and why?
