Jabs/Hooks/Uppercuts Practice - Punching Bob a good choice?

Question

For an amateur that just wishes to practice on jabs/hooks/uppercuts, would the Punching Bob be a good target to practice on? Or would the tear drop punching bag be a better choice?

The Punching Bob just caught my eye because of it's human resemblence. :)

Thanks!

Answer 1

I have never used one but It looks good, and what i like is that it is freestanding so you can move it to different locations.

Also have you seen the slam man its shaped like a man and it has lights which indicate where to punch so you can run through basic combinatons and works on speed etc...
