left hook vs right - 11/18/06 11:09 AM
why are a lot of people elft hook more powerful then right?
Quote:
Hooking with the lead hand is usually emphazied more in training, as it travels less, therefore should be faster than the power hand, as it must travel less distance from the boxer to reach its target.

Though the left hook is faster in reaching its target (less distance to travel), its the speed is less. Mechanically the right hook should be, and is more powerful, with correct mechanics you can still get the leverage and as its travelled a longer distance the impact speed will be higher (as its had more time to accelerate). This means more power.
The only reason peoples right hooks are lacking is because they havent trained them enough, if those people did they would indeed be more powerful than their left everytime.
