It's insane how much power a left hook has.

[MamaDuck]

I started my amateur career awhile back and now im 13-1 and holy crap its insane how much torque you could get on a left hook... It feels weak when you throw it but when it connects the guy really gets hurt. But I'm confused how comeI hit harder with my left hook then with my right hand given that im NOT a lefty?

You don't throw with just your hand, it's not like writing. Why should it matter which hand you write with if you use you legs, hips, shoulders, etc. to punch?

[MamaDuck]

No I'm just saying that it's more comfortable to throw a right hand if you are naturally right handed.

did you know you had a hard left or wer u surprised with it i think mines pretty terrible so i never throw it lol
i got a tommy hearns right thow ud be amazed

Usually, a righty would want an effective left hook, because most of the time the opponent doesn't expect a hard left from a righty. And same goes to leftys.

Maybe you threw a lot more left hooks than rights and now it's your best punch? Try to improve your right and ask your trainer about your technique.

The first time I landed I went like woaaaaaaa... I timed the left hook over the guys right hand and as soon as it hit he fell to the ground. I think it's my money punch lol.

You're right about that, once you get the mechanics of shooting it to the body you'll soon find yourself in there with a lot of runners! When you shoot that straight make sure you shift your weight.

For some reason when I throw mine it FEELS like it wouldn't hurt but when I connect, the results are way more than I have expected. There are so many factors to throwing it effeciently, you hips, legs, your rotation, all that put together equals POWER.

I only box to keep in shape though but my cousin/trainer says if I took it serious I would reach the top, I don't think I would think about going pro or am though I just do it for the love of it.
