I agree w/ the shadowbox the heavybag suggestion above. I've had problems with this, and it was usually one of two things:

1) Trying to punch hard instead of fast. Focus on your hip and shoulder turn instead of trying to kill it with a huge punch.

2) Bad range - leaning too far to contact the target in the effective range of the punch or in the power range of the punch.

Try working on a tire or some similar unstable surface...
