My name is Jeff and I’ve been speed bagging for a few months. There is a lot of good advice on this forum, thank you! I just purchased my first platform which has a 30inch drum. Is that a good all around board size? Thank you

The other key issue of a board (wall set up) is the weight and sturdiness of it. Even a 30 inch board will suck if the wall unit rattles or shakes. Vibration is a speed bag workout killer. 30inch board are heavier, thus more sturdy than 24 inch boards, but it also depends on the overall sturdiness of the entire set up. The guiding rule of speed bag thumb is to reduce as much unwanted vibration as possible of all the parts. I hope you set up is solid! we'd love to see pictures of it and perhaps a video when you can.

Welcome JeffH a lot of go people with great advice and you just got it from two of the very best. The only thing I can add is take your time, control is far more important than speed (speed will only come with great control) and the most important thing of all ENJOY THE JOURNEY.

Thank you guys for the comments. I haven’t received the platform yet. I always try to buy American made when I can so I bought the 30inch platform from Balazs. I’ve always bagged on a 24inch but they recommended the 30inch. I figured I would go big the first time around. I’ve been reading Mr. Kahn’s book too. Thank you again!

If you are already reading "The Speed Bag Bible" then you are clearly on the right road and for all of the "Guests" reading this post with a clear interest in speed bagging may I say it took me by the hand on something that looked so difficult and explained it in such simple terms.
