What is the secret to hitting the speedbag?

Question

I just asked this to help some people out. I found that when ur doing the rhythm of 1 2 3, that when the bag is coming back to u after the third hit you have to be quick to the hit and get it bfore it gets back to the middle position (the position it would be in if staying still). also to keep your arms up always and it helps if u get a good swivel, i had one that was just like a ball with a hook and a chain and it was kinda weak, so i went to BIG 5 and got a 20 dollar swivel and it was a h**l of a big difference.... If you have any other advice/ suggestions let me know because im just starting out so any advice would be helpful. alright then im OUT!

i guess not missing it

Answer 3

I hope you can understand the explanation.

When you start your intial strike say in your mind:

The count:

One thousand     on one strike

Two thousand     on two stirke

three thous          three stike

four                      strike

In your mind it should sound like this One thousand two thousand three thousand four

This will allow you to start your strikes at a slow interval 110-120 strikes per minute.

Until you have developed your hand and eye coordination and the speed will develop.

Dont concern yourself with speed at this time but the balancing and timing of the strikes.

Good Luck!
