started using the Philly shell

[Faiered]

Today sparring i started using the philly shell and all the problems i had with my shoulders not working properly seemed to go away as its more of a defensive stance and the natural rotation of the body makes me use less shoulder snap in the punches.Any tips for the philly shell or things i need to watch out for?

Not only the shoulder roll all the hand positioning , parrying slipping and countering that the stance gives

Btw allot of people when using the philly shell they use only the shoulder roll making it easy for the opponent to feint or throw that overhand right but if you parry and do your slipping and weaving right then its a very good stance most people talk bad of it couse they use only the shoulder roll and jab parry and get tagged by that overhand right

Thats how all people call it and teach it i know a variation of it called the muslim shell but you have to use more the left elbow to block right overhands and attack so its more for self defence

Fight Night Round 3 made up the name Philly Shell.

It's called the Shoulder Roll.

The shoulder roll is just a move that can be used from that stance all the hand positioning and ways to defend cant be put under that name

Others have used it way before Mayweather. I know it's called the Philly shell right now, but thats not the historic name.

If you like it keep using it. Done right it's a great guard for defending and countering. Especially if used like you say, with parries and slips. And also footwork!

Don't forget to keep your chin down.
