Straight punches and the shoulder

Yes.
Congratulations.

Is strange how somewhat small changes in technique can have such a big difference. And also when 'a new set of eyes' watches your form and is helpful enough to spend some of his time helping you.

Remember when you spar- don't cheat the jab to land the right hand. Make sure and get it all the way out or the distance on your right hand will be off.

It is great isn't in when something clicks and makes a hell of a lot of difference. I remember reading on here to 'pull' my punches rather than 'push' and that made a huge difference to me.

Interestingly its harder to do with the chin down . What moves the shoulders is the opposite shoulder, chin down tightens the psosses stops the turn as it should be plus the psosses engages the groin, cant win

so if you get hit on the botton with the chin tucked in, you're in essence going to feel it in your groin?

No with the chin down, it stops the muscles that work the shoulders, from working, as they already have a response from the head, it changes the biomechanics of what you are attempting.
