I need to work on throwing my right more. I usually have trouble with distance, so I reach alot, so I end up not throwing it much. My problem is both with set-up and range I think. And my trainer and partners always remark about the power of it whenever it does land- which is not often.

Any ideas on how to use a right jab to make my rear hand more active??
A rear-handed jab? There's no such thing. Unless you're bringing your rear foot forward such as in a drop-shift, your right-jab would then serve as more of a set-up punch for your left.

A southpaw's right jab does not compare to an orthodox fighter's right cross in terms of power.
