punches

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?

Oh yeah,thats allmost the way your supposed to be throwing it,but get your rythm down on the shot on the bag,because if you change your mind to late,it also torques bloody hell out of your wrist. You kind of want a body uppercut to be coming at an upword angle,so you have to decide in time to get your hand situated,especially on your weak hand, otherwise,your setting yourself up for long term issues with your wrists.
Thats the kind of thing you practice on the bag
