The Overhand Right?

**donnydarkoIRL** · 12-20-2007 03:19 PM

When I throw the straight right, it's almost like I generate power from two spots, my Sholder and Hip. I throw the punch from the shoulder and at the same time pivot and turn the hip.
As the arm reaches full extension with the shoulder turning so does the leg and it pivots the hip giving a nice long straight right that i find my strongest...sound right?

Yep,your arm is just directing traffic really

Cool!
I was worried as earlier post on this thread seemed to suggest drawing it back before throwing.

Also you guys may remeber all my complaints after I dislocated my shoulder and how I couldn't throw the straight right correctly any more as it was similar to an overhand due to the injury. Well it seems my Shadowboxing has paid off and I have unconciously started throwing correctly again!
