Help my hands are useless

Train more. Try it, it works.

yup pretty much. Gotta put in the time with someone that knows what they are doing and you will see results.

 

[mackz]

focus mitts?

 

[Lion Killer]

It's usually the short guys that complain about having problems with striking, guess this is an exception .

 

[JerkWeed]

This may not apply to your case but: if you're young and you've recently grown it takes your brain a while to fully adapt body coordination to your new height.

 

[lwbrawler]

damn im about the same as you and 5'6 would be an interesting match, i didnt know you guys come this tall, just a question what are some of your lifting abilities just curious to see how they would compare to mine.

 

[mego]

wow youre tall for your weight, eat more chicken

Paul Williams?

 

[Tim Chan]

just try more and analyze your strengths. your confidence would always suck if you keep telling yourself that your striking is pathetic.

 

[Rinksterk**]

Paul Williams?

LMAO. He's lost confidence in himself after losing to quintana and now he's asking internet forums for advice.

liek the jab simple but effective

Take up boxing. Or if you can just spar hands only, but concentrating solely on boxing with proper coaching will get you results.

 

[JackLancewell]

If you feel that your hands are useless, cut em off for great justice. Other words, just train more. What you may lack in potential, you should make up in hard work. Train harder than your peers, keep a poker training face, and throw another combo.

You'll probably get bigger since you're only 17 but if you stay around the weight you are now, you can pose serious problems for guys if you know how to use your range.

 

[BDelurey]

I don’t know if I’ll get bigger but that would be great. Yea I got the tools... it’s just a matter of learning how to use them to the best of their abilities.

Like anything its just mastering your craft I guess

 

[EASYTAPPINS]

practice practice practice! practice makes perfect but only if you practice perfect! have someone record you during heavy bag,mitt and sparring training to see where any mistakes may lie and just keep with your training and have confidence in your hands..a guy your weight and size should almost always have the reach advantage so use it wisely!
