Will using a free standing speedball damage my hands?

Question

thinking of geting a free standing speedball - the one on a base that is on a spring. i dont want to get into boxing in a big way, just want to use it for cardio and building up a bit of strength, for a short time, a few times a week - sort of build it into my exsisting work out programme.

trouble is im also a musician and dont want to damage my hands.

is using a speedball rather than a bag going to do any damage to them if i wear good padded gloves and wraps? or should i just not bother?

Answer 1

possible but not probable

Answer 2

It can if you dont use the proper protection. My friend damage his hand by hitting the ball near the s***w base as a result he broke his hands and this fella weights 90KG so hes no pug either.
