Right Cross foot placement.

[Sharla]

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.

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

Oh So it does help teach when to and not to drop the heel?

I think I wasn't confident enough of my understanding of what I was working when on it to really be as persistant as I should have been!

So I should be able to stop all movement of the wobble board including the sideways movement in the opposite direction of the punch? I don't think I know how to do that - would I then sort of have to break on the pivoting foot?

If your heavy bag is free standing enough,you can work it there,by working side to side. Eventually it will just lock in

Thanks TM - i think i need to get the concepts a bit clearer in my head before I really know how to take your advice here but i'll keep it in the back of my mind.

Plus at some stage once I've got my PhD issues resolved one way or another I'll have to decide on my next gym. No room for a heavy bag in my little unit!
