punches

[Von Milash]

kids have to learn to turn the hook over. that's where the power is.

[southpawed]

Do you mean fist wise? Or torque wise? Because i thought hooks should never past the point of your chin.

[iceman]

disagrre turn it over all you want my straight right always seems to hit soo much harder...

[Von Milash]

iceman you can do it however you want. although i wonder if you know what i mean when i say turn it over.

I don't Von.

Are you refering to the thrust from the hip or the adjustment of the hand from palm inward to downward facing?

[Von Milash]

that's right. turn the thing over and get your elbow way up and get some weight behind it. if not, you're bordering on slap that is biomechanically incorrect.

oh yeah i know what you mean by turn it over, hear it yelled at ameteurs all the time when they first start learning it, i just don't feel most people got that much to put into it... thats just a humble opinion and i know we can come up with lots of exceptions, but i also bet they are all pro fighters unlike say what maybe 70% of the guys that lace up gloves and dream but for whatever reason fall short...i know an old school trainer, that likes to occasionally throw it by turning his back and shoulders way into it... you gotta see it to understand,cause i can't explain but he was hitting when he did that.
