I have a question about the (SDP)-
I have read in my Speed Bag Bible and seen video instruction showing the first punch being around the front of the bag, second punch after one rebound contacts the side of the bag. So the first rebound doesn't change the direction but the second one does?
I have always tried to strike with both punches hitting the side of the bag and the direction change is made on the first punch, with the second rebounding the same. Is there a disadvantage with the way I am trying them? Perhaps this is where I got the shoulder swaying habit, trying to hit the side clean and get a 90degree direction change on the first punch. I have been working on a more solid and fused stance for these side punches, and doing them from the elbows rather than the shoulders but old habit seem to die hard.
What are some benefits gained by honing this technique? I imagine hand speed will increase? Smaller circles made? Thanks Alan!
