Youve got to turn over the straight,if you dont,its bad on your wrist,AND you lose oomph on the shot
Yeah, I understand.

As for the body, I've taken to throwing the hook "palm in" as I can change it to an uppercut to get around the elbow, if needs be...That ok?
Oh yeah,thats allmost the way your supposed to be throwing it,but get your rythm down on the shot on the bag,because if you change your mind to late,it also torques bloody hell out of your wrist. You kind of want a body uppercut to be coming at an upword angle,so you have to decide in time to get your hand situated,especially on your weak hand, otherwise,your setting yourself up for long term issues with your wrists.
Thats the kind of thing you practice on the bag
