Why is it that I feel I box better when I'm shadow boxing and sparring rather than the heavy bag? I feel that i have a better technique and I feel overall better shadow boxing and sparring but when I do the heavy bag I feel like I'm not as good nor technical

I remember when I was 17, I was convinced I was going to be awesome at boxing, I was athletic and pretty good at all sports. I joined a boxing gym and the first week was looking amazing on the bags, the next week they wanted me to spar. I was so over confident that I'd box everyone's brains off as long as they were similar to my weight.. I sparred against 14 year old kids who had years experience boxing and was beaten silly, towards the end they were all going easy on me.
I realised then how tough of a sport boxing is, and how training is everything. I then quit in embarrassment.
