    The foot determines where the hip would be.
    You should be setting your lead foot at a slight angle,inward,and have both shoulders over your knees

    It will help you get that explosion from your hips,and the drive from your shoulder,that you need to really drill that shot

    Don knowing you, I believe your breaking yourself on your front heel. Its common By turning your back foot you are still reaching the shoulders being out of line the Heel is breaking the movement. Lift the front Heel slightly and bend the knee to compensate Helps the shoulders to balance.

    That might well be the answer to my question right there.

    Thank you Scrap.

    Is there something that would help train that equipment wise? I had a theory a while ago in trying to understand your wobble board stuff-

    I though that shadow boxing on a wobble board and aiming to keep it balanced would prevent you breaking too much on one side or over-reaching because it would tip the board? Anything to that?

    When it actually came down to it I don't think I could do shadow boxing with any pivoting though - the board swivels clockwise when I throw the right cross etc - too much sideways movement from memory (although a bit vague now sorry) -

    Is there anything I could do to make use of the wobble board for this purpose?

    Sharla it doesnt take ten minutes, its something you work at. When you eventualy get it, its one of those things you dont forget. Its worth it Ive had kids swearing at it Kicking the F**king thing but kept at it two weeks, then they had it. Then they cant keep of it
