    Lifting the elbow. Leaning forward. Letting the weight ride up on the front foot. Pushing off the front foot.
    When you step with the jab...the front foot hitting the floor before the fist hits the target. Not moving both feet.
    Not turning your shoulder into the punch. Not turning the punch over. Short arming the punch, not driving the arm all the way out.

    Trying too hard to land it, instead of seeing how the other guy opens up when he reacts to it.

    Be in the sprinters position inorder to gain full rotation of the hips including your body weight to come forward. Any other position runs the risk of telegraphing.

    What's wrong with pushing with the front foot? I thought that's where the power came from.

    Pushing off the front foot angles the hips to the right a good position to throw the right hand.

    Yeah but dart players dont have to worry about openings on over commitment or recovery to balance or need to counter anything, some keep their arm out after the movement too and the rear leg balances them.Just wondering if you are talking about aim concerning them if not then what part; full extension?

    Another no no is leaving it out there. Unless in the rare case you are good enough to use it while its out there; turn that arm to face and block a counter you've called into play and then counter that. Or you have the aerial arm out there if they move or try to slip it,lower yourself behind it for disruption and search for them with it for cover or re gauging distance. Always some moment in time if you are switched on where you can bend any rules into advantage.

    Not really relevant, but not moving feet.
    Most mistakes with the jab is trying to make it a power punch, or being square on.
    Always remember the jab is a set-up punch it is neither heavier punch or leaves you off-balance.
    Do not forget a feint is as good as a punch, so no need to punch all the time. Less action is better.
    My best jab involve moving my front foot and I expend very little energy, I am never off balance and ready to throw a straight right, or if advanced a left hook off the jab as long as you move the front foot outside the opponents lead leg.
    Common mistakes are trying to throw a fast punch, when you can throw a powerful punch.
    Always trying to do double, triple jabs with the last punch being the most powerful, if you can not throw a triple jab without being off-balance or the last punch being powerful you are not boxing and need more practice.
    Best advice is the jab is not a knock out punch so do not treat it as such
