I think I have begun relaxing my punches, adding more pop to the bag and mitts,at higher speeds, and at the same time using less energy.
I think the best way to describe this is the analogy of a whip, because it feels as such.
If I were to slow it down, the first one third of the punch would seem to be coming slightly downwards and initially at a lower velocity, before it accelerates to full speed and extends perfectly straight for the last two thirds.
Just like on a whip you only see the initial uncoiling before it hits its target in a fast linear manner and you hear it snap...
I would like to hear if any of you are using the same method or would like to comment on it.
