    Double end bag

    Howe tight should they be? How far should they swing when being hit? The one I have is farely tight. Doesn't move a whole lot except when I throw hooks.

    Thanks

    it should definitely move man. the whole point is to give you a moving target to hit to help you work on moving your head and slipping. i can't hit yours, so i don't know if it's too tight, but it should move more than just a little bit.

        nah man, it's not that hard. i'm sure you'll pick it up quick. just start out throwing 1,2s and get a rhythm going. then work on moving your head towards 1 side or another when it comes back. then you can try different stuff from there, like jabs-right-slip-uppercut. you can do a lot of stuff with it.

        ask that club advisor dude to show you some stuff.

          i think its probably the hardest thing to get used to. i hate when they are to tight. you need it to be loose enough to move alot but at a realistic speed. if if there is to much tension it wont move and you could just hit a bag

            Remember to use your full range and extend your arms fully when hitting the double end bag with jabs and right crosses. It's easy to shorten your punches and start pulling combinations, but try the same with using your proper range it's a totally different ball game!

            Enjoy it bro!

                Thanks RJ. I made it losser so it is coming backa nd nearly hitting me when i punch it. It moves a bit slow though for my liking though. Ah Well.
