Just started speedbagging a little over a week ago. This is a great workout and tons of fun. I've made great progress. Just gotta start focusing on practicing one technique at a time instead of always trying to go faster and using differant hitting techniques. My biggest problem right now is clenching my fist so tight that my arms are tense and I need to learn to move my feet from time to time to keep from getting sore. Not sure what kind of stance to use.

You CAN do it!

What do you think of this bag. I have been using a bag in a gym which is 6 or 7 inches wide. I think this is pretty similar. Opinions?

I might add I have never seen the "swivel" called a "pedestal" either, but I don't out much anymore so maybe it's different in other countries. If you get this bag let us know how it hits.
