I have to run into the living room and do the move a couple times to figure out how to answer...Let me start by explaining something about throwing the punch when stationary.
Try this; don't start the straight right off your right foot. Instead, get the weight onto your left leg and start the rotation there. With the left foot flat, use the muscles in the left leg and on the left side to twist your body, like the hinges on a door. Your right foot just rotates in to turn your hip.
Now, with this step...You are propelling your weight forward with your right foot and leg. When it sets on the left leg, the left side of the body again slams the right side forward, but it now has the full motion of the body, the force coming off the right leg, added in as well.
Keep this in mind when you get around to throwing the left hook; it doesn't start on the left leg. It starts when the weight goes onto the right leg, then the muscles on the right side slam the the door. The pivot on the left toe does not initiate the punch, it only facilitates it.
I hope I am making sense?
