    Should I switch to southpaw?

    My trainer said I have a really good stiff left jab with head snapping ability and an explosive right hook...and I do feel my left jab to be quicker as well...I can double/tripple jab with my left hand at a good speed and it worked well when I was sparring but the right hook is difficult for me to land...I can easily land a left jab and quickly follow up with a left hook but my right hook can't land as much as I want it to...my right cross and upper cut is pretty good though and I can land that well...I was wondering if I should just switch to southpaw and lead with my power hand in front which is my left hand...that way I can lead with more power hooks after my jabs...only problem is my right hand is not as fast as my left....the good thing about being a southpaw is that I can confuse most of my opponents lol...

    just a reminder ..lets assume that you converted into southpaw now .. now when you fight most of your good opponents (orthodox) they will be landing thousands of RIGHT HAND!!! lol that's pain ..

      Why post about it on a forum? why not go try it and see the results for yourself?

      you're not gonna get an answer here by a stranger posting tips for you.

        This^

        ..and as with all righties turning southpaw your slight advantage comes with a price, you will eat many right hands, and your lead hooks will be pretty easy to block unless you blindside someone

          Leading with your left hand in front is orthodox not southpaw.
