Thatys very interesing LH but, i really have issues with the theory.
The theory is based upon a foundation of the stance being "heels together."
Obviously the stance would be altered for fighting and in doing so would the "powerline," not be altered??
Good point hitmandonny, Dempseys wording seems a little archaic now probably better described as a three knuckle landing, as opposed to a power line. Try it, arms length from wall in the fighting stance, with the vertical then horizontal. I mean guys, its whatever conveys most power efficently to yourselves, i have short hooking/uppercutting arms so need all the power I can get in my jabs. I did experiment with turning my jab over the way you should turn a straight right (from vertical on leaving your shoulder to diagonally down on impact) I found this good also.

Hitmandonny, all the best with your fight mate.
