Do not pull your hand back, to the side or drop while throwing any punch, get a friend or trainer to tell you if are doing it, you will be surprised.
Hooks, are power punches so use some power and should be thrown in combinations of 3,5 or more.
The longer the hook the more powerful eg levers, but keep your arm about 135 or 45 degrees depending how your measuring the angle
Elbows, keep them down they telegraph and lose the power of a punch
Power, boxing is all about the hips, by rotating your hips forward you generate the power of the punch, using your arm for power will tire yourself out and does not give a powerful hook. Your arms are your tools, the hips are the power.
Hands should be chin/shoulder height and shoulder length width apart.
Side on, hooks are delivered in a curve motion, like a circle imagine a fireman's hole through your head and out your ass and through the floor, you cannot move your legs, you turn the hips, do not lean forward and deliver a great hook. They also land at the side of a target so the side of the bag or side of the head eg the ear(ouch but i needed an example)
Head, keep it focused at the person, he is trying to KO you, keep your eyes on him at all times, when hooking, clinching, breaking, on the floor, when he is pounding you, never take your eyes off him or it is lights out.
