why can't a straight punch as in 'parry and punch', just basically be a straight punch..
everything doesn't have to be turned into bloody rocket science.
I understand perfectly where the rotation is, so what ?
every boxer now need this lesson in physics; to understand what exactly ...

Thanks to the quirks of this forum, I lost my reply to your post.
I'll summarize simply by saying don't confuse the outward direction of application/force with the mechanism that is used to produce the application/force. A straight-line of force can be produced from a helical action.

it's either spiral force or it's 'straight line'..

Naw, it's a spiral line to produce a linear force.

it's as a helix; spiral by definition.

if everyone and their dog uses spiral force, all the time, by definition and anatomy... it renders 'silk reeling' as fairly meaningless I would think.
