guys;
ever thought about using the punch with the turning body (as seen in jin choi)? It works really well and is similar, but not the exact same, to a boxers shovel hook

When it does happen, it's fast and hard and over quick. Either I'm standing or he's standing. That's Real.

Time and time again we all *say* that the forms are just collections strewn together. Yet some struggle to pull something out and use it individually.
There is turning in Chum Kiu for many reasons, such as to re-face the centre, power generation, etc. - not just to link with the shovel hook.
Problem isn't the forms, it's the drills. Best way to practice the body shots/shovel hooks is on the mitts, perhaps Chi Sau and then a partner, of course in 'real time.' Shovels/uppercuts/body are difficult to pull off with the targeting/distancing in the beginning so mitts and isolated sparring scenarios are a good idea.
