SO........ an EFFECTIVE fast jab isnt effective as its not undertaken effectively, that makes sense

Yeah. So an effective jab is a bit slower than an ineffective one generally because you are more likely to land it if you don't telegraph it.

That is also why you don't throw them as hard as you can generally.

What you are describing is a beginners jab.

why does moving your hand faster mean its telegraphed and why does that matter if its faster than they can react

Because you generally need to power the punch with your body to get it going fast. And that body movement becomes a tell.

Faster than they can react is situational.

if your loading the body up, it's a straight left not a jab, its using the shoulder and the triceps, neither of which need loading or are in the body

straight lefts, you cant say loading is bad and then post a vid of someone loading to say its correct.

the only person saying that a jab is the person who has titled the vid

watch Tf jab, all speed and no body loading, in fact he will take you head off going backwards, just with arm speed,

the issue is what you've identified and then change your mind about, body loading delivers more energy at the exspenxe of speed, that doesnt matter if your triple g, coz he is still incredibly fast, for others it matters, if your not fast enough, the target moves

Loaded is not always better. Faster is not always better. It depends what you want to do.

If you have a constant loaded jab you will get picked off eventually. Which is what happens when beginners get told faster is better.
