honestly. the tilt of the hand can be so slight that it's hard to describe. a person would have to see it. but hyperion's hand looked all wrong

But his wrists are the size of his head if anything's wrong, he could take it.

I think it's just the shadows that make it look odd, tbh.

Now that you mention it it does look kind of odd. Now I'm trying to recreate it in my living room. 😂

No I gotta stop looking at it, it's like starting to move. I can't even draws parallels anymore to what I throw.

dude. I dissect sh!t when I really start thinking about it. I'm really being a critic lol.
anyway, I've only had two different trainers and they were both in the same circle anyway. and hooks imo shouldn't be used that much at all really. they aren't the fastest strike but can really mess somebody up.
I'm just surprised at how much that little detail varies from person to person.
I need to stop looking this up. i'll waste all day lol

these guys discuss it well

Yeah it started like tripping me out that I had to stop looking. Though I figured out it was probably the shadows.

Yeah, I like a nice straight, though I used to throw an overhand into a liver shot hook though that I really enjoyed. That shit hurts though if you have weak wrists. Plus I like hooks for those guys that keep their hands down.

Now I want to hit something. ****

EDIT: I've always been palm down though.

what about your palm position for kick ball

Powergirl uppercut is the proper form imo. And yea, i've seen many different variations of hooks. Roy Jones Jr. throws it they way Raisen does. But there's one trainer at my gym who prefers throwing it palm facing out so i'm used to that.

I never really knew so many variations. I was adamantly taught one way. the way I do it generates more power imo, but probably much slower. hooks just don't seem like they should be used much

i don't know, i feel it's faster your way. I rarely use hooks (even if it's part of a 1,2,3 combo). I really only use them as a counter. I love throwing a left hook as a right hand counter. gets them almost every time lol.

Best .
