If you pause it at exactly 0:48 you will see


Anyway just wondering if anyone can tell me what that's about..? Maybee it's due to the shape of the bag,But I thought it looked kinda weird.
yes it is, in Russia, some amateurs are taught like that. The reason being that in amatuer you need points, not damage, so such a hook is lighter but faster.
