Interesting point. My trainer was trying to get me to keep my elbow in when throwing my jab because I was jabbing almost like I was still swinging a baseball bat. It's a strange feeling for me. So what I ended up having to do was not focus on my jab speed or where my jab hand was going, but focussing on where I wanted my elbow to go. The hand itself is simply being pushed by the direction and speed of the elbow.
