Two type of hook off a jab:
One is a pressing attack, the jab is stiff meant to drive back the opponent or slightly off balance him with a step in hook attack to take advantage of the opponents momentarily off balance. It is a solid powerful assault.
The second can be more deceptive and most flow really smoothly. Best bet if you are having trouble with this is to work in slow motion jab as you retract the jab before it completes back to its guard position begin the motion of the hook make sure to use your hip and ball of the foot, dont leave behind the lower behind stuck to the ground. The body should move freely into and behind the hook. Now find the proper body mechanic for the hook so it feels natural for your body. Look in the mirror, check alignments. Go slow, move smoothly, take your time. Then slowly speed up when you feel you have everything moving smoothly and feeling natural.
Then you can move into the heavybag etc.
hope that helps.
