How to throw the Left Hook properly to prevent Injury

Both videos, if followed, would make it pretty hard to hit somebody with a hook, telegraphing it like that. In my estimation, you want to get your weight turned in front of the punch. The way the first guy is throwing it, there is less whip and more shove.

Would anyone consider posting their own version of a left hook tutorial video ?

This is the man to which I've learned everything about boxing from the start. He's extremely concise and thorough. He's also Britain's own! His name is Fran Sands, I've had the distinct pleasure of speaking to him personally, great great man, couldn't be a better example of a humble and helpful coach.

He has three videos on the left hook: Short, mid, and long ranged. All very helpful, here's the short ranged left hook to start you off.

You got some great advice from those who answered. We always equated throwing the hook with "laying your arm on a shelf" Horizontal even, and not past the your chin. But for your own training and to prevent injury, you need a coach or another boxer proficient in throwing the hook, to watch you, and give a critique.
