I think I finally understood how to do a hook kick. It does not solve the problem ;-).
I started to think from Outside Crescent, which I can perform. Well, almost can.
It is almost impossible to tell, but the vital difference is what
you're actually striking with.
A Hook Kick strikes with the heel(at least it must be more powerful) or sole(least powerful, but still...) of the
foot. An Outside Crescent strikes with the edge portion(knife edge?) of the
foot.
The Crescent uses more of the hip for power while
the
Hook uses more of the butt and hamstrings for power since the angle
is different.
And here comes the problem with my hamstrings........
