True.... the louder ones tend to be the quick "SLAP" ones with the foot... not as powerful

But the really powerful ones are more of a "THUD" done with power from the hips and contact with the shins and instep..

BOTH are pretty loud...just differ in tone...

I know...the sounds have nothing to do with fighting...but it's just what i have noticed....

plus...if youre holding the Thai pads... a "proper" well thrown Thai kick sends shock through your arms all the way over into your body!.. THATS a good kick....makes you think

"what if that hit me in the ribs or leg??"....OUCH,,,

All about the hips and follow through..
