Speed Bag : What is it?
| A speed bag is a type of punching bag designed to develop the boxer's punching and dodging speed. It is inflated, made of vinyl or leather, and designed to withstand continuous and consistent punching speed and impact. It is hung from the ceiling through a board or a “drum” 24 to 36 inches in size. The board and the speed bag is connected to a swivel that makes the bag move. A speed bag comes in different shapes and sizes according to brand. It can come in a “Mexican style,” which is elongated like a banana and narrow all around, or in a short, teardrop shape. Using the right speed bag size is very important to learning and advancing in training. |
