Throwing pitty pat punches at the heavy bag to preserve your joints. Good idea?

And do pros do this for that reason?

you shouldn't keep them on you when you're hitting the heavy bag, you are almost certain to lose them when they fall out of where ever you put them, and then they get kicked around on the floor or picked up by somebody etc. Best keep it at home to preserve what you have.............. Rockin'

When you hit the bag you don't want it to move all over the place. Hit it soft but control your punches and snap them. Its about hand control and proper technique.

When you learn to control your hands and really snap those punches those punches will hurt someone way more than the punches you are throwing everything into the bag with and trying to move the bag all over the place.

They may be hitting the bag lighter at their advanced ages (as fighters) because of hitting the bag when they were too young, damaging their joints at a young age and are feeling the repercussions now that they are older when they do their bag work.

If I had a kid he would not start hitting the heavy bag until he hits puberty. Any bag work before then will damage the joints a great deal, especially on the really heavy bags if they are young.

A lot of the speed only work on the bag is done for stamina to throw fast combinations through a whole fight, as well as trying to put their shots together faster over all.............. Rockin'

Exactly Rockin. Stamina, fast combos, putting punches together.

Control the hands and put snap on the punches.

I throw a 1,2,3 all at the same speed but the 3 has more mustard. I touch you soft to set up the hard shot but every punch has snap. They don't know where its coming from.
