speedbag tips / advice ??

[punchDrUnK MONK]

i recently learned the speedbag, i can hit the single combos, or the two hit switch combo.. but i cant keep it going long, and i cant go fast yet... i could really use some advice / tips, my trainer didnt say a damn thing lol. just told me to hit it slow. i couldnt hit it at all but now i got it down just dont really know the technique

just keep practicing and practicing and practicing and very soon, it will come

ever seen millio dollar baby? clint eastwood shows a pretty simple speed bag routine which should help you grasp how it works. I'll find a link when i get back from training.

keep your elbow high and use the side of your fist in a circular motion. dont try to hit the bag as you see it.. its all about rhythm

use that when your hitting the speed bag... timing is everything with the speed bag.

suprisingly i actually picked it up pretty damn quick , i found it easier to go by sound and rythem rather than by what your looking at , like sumone else said you hear 1 , 2 , 3 then bang hit it , 1, 2 , 3 bang hit it . itll just come natural .

keep your hands high they have a tendancy to drop and no knee jerk reaction when your hitting it , stay smooth , let your arm / hand flow in a circular motion.
