power way to hook is the way ur doing but the speed way to hook is when u turn your fist but u shud try master power way first then use the fast way to hook later then combine the both if u get rearly good.

in the uk in the AM's to score a point with a hook you need to land it like this




not like this

so in other words make sure you turn your hand also make sure that your elbow comes parallel with your chin and also transfer your weight in your feet from the back to the front.

i was the same at first, my trainers have got used to the fact that i hit harder with my thumb pointed upwards though so they let me do it, i haven't had any fights but when i sparr it works well, i get alot more power that way, i cant see the judges not scoring it if you land it like that, my trainer hasn't said anything like that to me, as far as im concerned if the white part of my glove lands im scoring points
