How the hook works

[mastergooch27]

Maybe im a scrub but I cant get my hooks to flow correctly. Im a southpaw and I have decent reach so im all about jabs and straights. I still cant find myself being able to flow my hooks and uppercuts correctly. My footwork just seems sloppy and I know practice makes perfect but, I need to know how to practice. Thanks for any help in advance...

The long ones are long and it sounds like your reaching with your uppercut and hook. You want to get elastic rope tied to ankle on your back leg and ring post, so you are centre ring. Move back so you are under tension throwing jabs going back. Then move forward doing same, it will teach you to take your back foot with you, and stop you reaching, which I think is your problem

try to imagine ur in a small box and just keep evrything nice n tight as a hook is a weapon best used at close range. Start from doing it slow, practising ur technique and gradually increase the speed of your hooks until you feel you have got the hang of it.

Try purposely dipping your knees, as it's easier to throw hooks when you are bobbing upwards.
