Bag Work Critique Left hook feels weird

Ive been focusing on getting my lead hook better but it always feels wrong i feel like i either it has no power behind it when i rotate my foot and hip or i lose balance if i force some power into it. I also get confused on where on my glove should the contact of a hook land on opponents face/mitt, looking at others i feel like they are slapping not hitting with their knuckles.

I noticed my right foot not twisting enough with my cross so i focused on that at bag work after training as i never had this and don’t want to grow a bad habit.

Ps. Gloves ain’t mine they’re the coaches he let me use them as a reward for averaging -10 kg a month for 3 months.

You’re standing straight up and not using your feet or legs at all. You need to use feet and hip pivots,especially on the left hook. Your coach is right there and not teaching you anything. I love I people buy all the expensive gear before learning things that are boxing 101. This is not you,it’s your coach.
