A textbook left hook is a very short blow. Thrown within the plane of ones shoulders. Best exemplified by Dempsey. The ko of Sharkey, the KD of Tunney being the clearest examples. The best example however is the knockdown just prior to the ko of Firpo.
And one has to learn through muscle memory to relax the shoulder so the kinetic energy of the weight shift and turn goes through to the angled arm. That arm should also be at a 90 degree angle.
