One last question, concerning hip rotation with straight punches

[Sharla]

Right good to know thanks Scrap. I've always turned the fist but been paranoid about turning it past horizontal but it's nice to know that's on less thing to worry about!

where you start to see problems is when guys tell you to rotate the fist 90degree past horizontal.

I find if I rotate the fist over horizontal I start leaning to my left which reduces the power dramatically. I think that is much more to do with my baseball days rather than anything else though. SO how much hip does everyone put into their straight rights?

The secret is the Back Foot and staying on it. Its the back Foot that generates your power, its your Distance. Pulling your front shoulder Back Keeps you on the Back Foot and moves the opposite shoulder in Balance good Biomechanics, gives Oral stability.

So from all this is it stretching it to assume that going too far past horizontal is bad but to be able to do that you would usually be taking too much weight off your rear foot and if you manage to get your weight distribution over your feet correct you won't have to worry about it?

There will be some kind of natural stop on your shoulder rotation before it goes dangerously or just ineffciently far if your body weight is correct?
