      Yeah, this is how I punch as well. According to Dempsey's book, focusing your punch through the ring finger allows for a more pure power line, as that finger is most suited to line up with the bones in the forearm. Have you read the book??

            i been reading the book and started aiming my punches with the ring finger defenitly feel a difference but this may be because i use 2 bend my wrist a lilttle bit befor my punch landed and now ive learnt to keep it straight. i geuss you just want to use whatever feels better for you, and although the book is good i defnitly dont want to learn boxing from a book or a computer screen
