Feints, how do you get good at them?

Any 1 particular drill you have done to help? Or did it just come from sparring?

Also, which feint do you find most effective?

In my opinion, practice makes perfect. Sometimes it depends on what your opponents is falling for in the fight

The feint is a lost art, for the most part, in todays boxing. .........Rockin'

Stick your jab in his belly a few times. Feint down stairs and fire your jab upstairs. A solid/good jab makes feints easier. But when you feint always be looking for something coming back.
Walking in to sheet sucks.......Rockin'

One in particular I like to faint with jab and throw a right to body or straight right. But after I usually try move out that spot or double up with another combo. Like Rockin said after feints things will come back at you.

Like other have said it’s easiest to start feinting a jab. I like to feint the jab and turn it into a left hook. It works well against another orthodox fighter.
Or for example if you have just landed a good left hook I will feint another hook but throw the straight right

You have to use sound effects like Roy Jones or else they're useless.

That is not true..........Rockin'

You have to be aware of what lead shots are landing and then work off of that. Or work off of his reactions to your lead shots and then feint that shot and turn something else over on him.

I fought a crazy tall guy, I started working off of his jabs with right hands to his cranium bone. So I started feinting, my lead rights, upstairs and then digging my straight right directly in to his rib cage. Those shots were hard to say the least. The fight was stopped a short time after I started in with those shots.

Every man will be different. You need to see his reactions to your feints/shots and then work from there. .........Rockin'

If you do something really well, it'll usually dictate a good feint. If you have a good jab or double jab and a person feels it the first time, they'll start second guessing and that's all you need really.

If you have a big left hook and they know it. That turns into a good feint just by not throwing it. You could just pause for a second and they'll expect the left hook and there you have a good feint.
