Im working on shifting my weight and overall technique and after ive mastered this will my power really start to come.

Thanks for your advice

Like what Chris said it doesn't really matter. Personally, I throw it facing down I feel that I'm a stronger puncher doing it like that and I feel my hand is protected also.

I always preferred throwing a hook with the palm inward, but as the guys say it comes to preference. The shoulder joint isn't in as strong a position with the palm down though, but again it will strengthen up accordingly.

Always good to study some kinisiology which is the relevance of muscles to skeletal movement, every little helps so a good weights instructor can advise on which angles might be stronger too.

Good luck !
