Physical:
1. Stronger platform
2. Smaller bag
3. Proper inflation

Theory:
1. Form: can you make smaller motions with your hands? are you in close enough to the bag? is bag too high or low?
2. Timing: can you change the tempo of the bag easily? can you hit blindfolded?
3. Control: are you hitting the sweet spot of the bag? with the correct part of your hand? do you favor one hand over the other?

can you post a video?

Hitting faster.

to make it move faster, I think you can do several things.

Add more air, in small amounts. a "slightly" overfilled bag is faster. A "very" overfilled bag will feel like a brick and may split a seam when hit really hard.

Hit harder. use more force in your punching, but try to keep your movements small. More punching force usually requires a longer movement.

Hit faster. Basically, hitting harder with the same size arc or smaller movement. This takes very precise technique to reduce your wasted motions or overswinging.

Get a shorter swivel. They will have a shorter rebound arc.

Get a smaller bag. It will have a shorter rebound arc and return faster.

In addition to what's posted above:

Also make sure you've got a sturdy platform. Very little to no vibration, you're platform should not flex at all.

Make sure your swivel is tight to the board and it's not sloppy or loose anywhere.

Yeah, I saw you were online, but there was no answer when I started posting. I forgot about tightening the board and swivel. They can be speed robbers. Good advice.

A lot of great advise from very knowledgeable people. So for what it's worth before you focus on "speed" concentrate on "control".

[spdyTommyT]

Short answer is, You do, you hit harder., and faster, all the things mentioned here are all valid suggestions and make a difference but Hit The Bag, like it kicked your dog!, with control little at a time until you get there, and make sure whatever style your hitting you rep it out and increase your strength and speed.___

It's in the software code that you can't like your own posts. It used to be that you couldn't even post in here, but that probably got altered during a software update.

Yes, it appears that a number of people here have gone to other platforms. Then there is Facebook group. most of which only know of the Speed Bag Annual Gathering. I mentioned on the Face Book page about this site, and the vast majority of those people didn't know that this exists. That's a shame, as there is a wealth of knowledge and information on these pages Speedbag and I check on here daily from what I see. We're grateful that Tim keeps this site alive. There does seem to be a lot of people that look at things here, they just don't seem to post.

Yea you are right!, and yea Tim is Champion.!., the atmosphere of the community has changed and now there seems to be another change coming. So we will see because this time the bag doesn’t stop and the Art doesn’t die. And people that make fun of it or don’t repair their minds and body I can’t help. I also won’t tell them to stop eating McDs but hey it’s your choice and I know what I gained and the best has always the people that pushed me and inspires me to be this SpeedyT. And Dutch I believe you were the one who told me to patent?!,, Thank You Thank You
