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.

I've been neglecting this lately as I've been throwing the hook from range, but I've got a nice strong left hook when I throw it like this.

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?
