When you throw a jab or cross, do you land with hand completely horizontal, vertical, or diagonal and why?

do you land straight punches with hand completely horizontal (palm down), completely vertical (palm inside), or diagonal and why?

Horizontal.

Because I think it hurts more and can be more accurate.

from vertical (unextended) to rotating arm to horizontal (fully extended), rotating lower arm about 90 degrees during extension, the twist creates more kinetic energy which in turn makes the punch harder, also the rotation causes the punch to go faster as it creates more momentum and increases acceleration

Palm facing down cos that's what I was taught n that's how u generate more power

I turn my hand so it's facing downward. It just feels right to me.
