Got of work a little early today and decided to play:

I raised the platform again. I think I'll lower it back to where I had it.

Met, lookin' good smacking that bag around.

Looking at the 2nd vid, it appeared that the bottom of the yellow bag was about even with the bottom of your chin after you say the platform was raised. So I'm surprised you wanted to lower it again.

Thank you atgatt! The bag is actually just below my lower lip with the platform raised. As far as the platform, I'm just experimenting with what feels better for me. Watching alot of the videos here, I see most everybody has the platform pretty low and their bags are just below their chins. I'm testing the control factor. With the platform lower, I feel like I'm more at eye level and a bit more natural versus tilting my head back and raising my arms higher.

MD,
Great stuff. In the first video, what are you doing at 1:54? Never saw that before. In the second video, you got those I-SES really happening. Most of the time when I do one, my tempo drags. It's like I don't get enough power on the I-SES, so whatever my next hit is falls a little behind the beat. I guess I need more metronome time. I just started to work on the side punches yesterday. Needless to say, my side split fists are not looking anything like yours yet. Still pretty much uncontrolled.

Enjoyed both vids. Gotta go. You make me want to work on my elbows.

Beautiful bagging, Metaldad! How about some Jackyl mixed in the background?? (just kidding, although in reading some of your posts, we grew up with and love that type of music)

Thanks Eighty Eight. what I was attempting at 1:54 was this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5DqYh5gVoQ. Check out this guy's videos. He's pretty sick on the bag!

Oh man you got that right. Over the years my taste in metal got more and more extreme. I still go back to days of listening to Deep Purple "Perfect Strangers" over and over. Now it's more Cannibal Corpse and Exodus lol.
