This tip helps me ensure my first move is down and not out and over the top. If your right palm is underneath and facing that imaginary plane of glass, then it's impossible to come over the top.

As I think about this, it seems this focus on the right hand compliments the left hand karate chop.
As an anti OTT thought it sounds good to me, but isn't focusing on the right bordering the right arm swing?
