Training handspeed

[Bendigo]

Any tips on adding speed to hooks?? My straight punches are snappy and quick enough, but my hooks feel laggy by comparison. Any tips??

Not that I know, just what I have heard... Shadow boxing with weights for a short period of time does help with hand speed. I say that because there are several boxers within my gym thhta do so and each have incredibly fast hands. One of which is a light weight and the other is a heavyweight. I have been told that the key is to only use them a short period of time like one or two 2 minute rounds but consistently every day.

Shadowboxing with weights is effective. You can also lift light weights in a swift manor, quickly. Learn how to breath right and pack some energy, agility.
