a Great Job on a very tiny bag. I have one of those itty bitty Grant Bags ( must be a 4x6 or 3x5..). Too light for my taste, but very hard to target as well as you are...


look out, HMP. You're getting some competition...

what is pinning? are you supposed to "pin" the bag to the platform?

[SupergeZ]

Watch the really good "pinners" like HispanicMakingPanic, and you will see they expertly time their punch to go "with" the bag toward the board.

Most of the time (regular punching) we are hitting the bag as it comes Toward the fist, and the bag and fist are normally going in opposite directions. But to pin the bag on the board, or kill the rebound, your fist and bag are normally going in the same direction at the moment of contact. It is much harder than it looks when done with serious force and speed.

Thanks Alan... Ashe if you try this make sure and wear gloves, it's no fun cracking your knuckles on the swivel

thanks for answering my questions guys, and thanks for the safety tip HMP!

actually i was just playing around with something similar a little while ago. i really don't know what i'm doing (especially since i've only had my bag about a week or two) but some of it seems intuitive.

basically i was playing with variations of hitting and then trying to stop the rebound with my other hand before it has a chance hit hit the platform on beat #2 and then also pinning.

seems like it would have good carry over to some of the defensive type stuff we use.

Hey Ashe

I've often wondered if Chi Sau, “Sticking Hands" of Kung fu and the speed bag could be used together, or how one could effect the other. The hand directions change, so on the bag you would probably use both even and odd number of rebounds...

any ideas on that?

[ashe]

yes, that's exactly what i'm thinking.

basically good hand skills should be good hand skills, and the speed bag seems like a great way to develop accuracy and hand / eye coordination as well as speed and the endurance for keeping your hands up when you need them to be up.

i'm really still too new with this tool to really say much more than that. ask me again in a a year or so.
