do u hold ur fist horizontally in a hook or vertically?

There was a post a long time ago about this, don't know what it was listed under, tho. I think "Fist Orientation of the Hook." or something. When I throw, if I'm using a short, inside, pulling hook, my fist is vertical (thumb up). If I'm throwing a reaching hook, then my fist is horizontal (thumb sideways).

geoff thompson says the pam of you hand should be facing down. if I throw a hook reaching far out I have my palm facing me, but I dont get much power

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD TO THROW IT WITH MY THUMB UP. THAT YOUR RANGE OF POWER IS BETTER THAT WAY, I DID HURT MY SHOULDER THROMING IT WITH THE THUMB FACING ME ONCE AND HAVE DONE IT THE OTHER WAY SINCE. AND NO PROB WITH THE POWER.

my trainer teaches thumb towards u,but i have it facin thumb up,i feel more comfortable and more power that way,he sees me throw it like that all the time and never says enithin

[platinummatt!]

do it how feels comfortable, but check if it does have more power.

[Nacho_Analstain]

i have tested it,and i feel a MASSIVE amount of more power how i throw it
