I will have to pick a copy of your dvd here really soon thats for sure. just out of curiousity how many years have you been bagging? or was that to many to remember?
2012 makes 40 years under the board. (may 1972 - 2012) since I first saw my mentor, Dr. Schroeder and began learning from him that summer. Thats not to many to remember now, but I'll probably start forgetting shortly.

Nope, I was never a boxer, just a frustrated drummer trying to get a workout. I Did some boxing and martial arts training over the years, but never competed formally. In sparring I always had the tendency to block kicks and punches with my face, a questionable defense strategy at best. With the current onslaught of research indicating a high incidence of diagnosable brain trauma in contact sports and concussions I'm glad I did not compete.
I would have been very surprised (and disappointed) had they NOT done that. Title boxing has always had terrific customer service, IMO
WOW that is a long time! that means you were hitting a bag way before I was ever thought of lol.
I did end up getting the new bag and I just started hitting on it yesterday but this time trying to be a lot more relaxed and trying just to take things slow.
I ended up purchasing the everlast setup and got it in the mail a couple of days ago. I bolted it to the wall so far it appears to be pretty solid and is so much better then that heavy/speed combo setup. I dont really care for that cotter pin type swivel it came with though but I am planning on going to lowes later tonight to get some longer bolts so I can install the deville swivel on the board.

I have always thought it would be interesting to actually test the speed theory with a legitimate "Punch per Minute" test. Like using a known metronome beat-per-minute speed
I found that with a yellow 8x5 title bag, my deville ballhook (and me) maxed out at 300 BPM, which I could hold for about 10 seconds, and it had no problems with a more comfortable upper end of 270 BPM for 30-60 seconds.
to be consistent I'd have to use that same bag, same inflation etc. on a u-bolt and chainlink. Any "measurable" test would have to use the same bag. Still, I'm not sure it would be an accurate reading of just the swivel, the bag or the puncher. I was about 10% faster in days past, and my top end has slipped in the last few years. I'm sure others can go much faster, and I'm gonna guess Skunk could clock at least 320 or so, regardless of the swivel used.
I will also add there has never really a been an accurate method to measure your "punching speed" AS your punching, or method to count how many punches you have actually thrown when punching in "standard" triplet rhythm style.
...until now: Courtesy of the inventor, I have recently been using a new product, called the Speed Demon and I have found it to be amazingly accurate in measuring both. It also has a "challenge mode", requiring an ever increasing punching pace for 20 levels. Fun to use, and the BPM numbers were comparably to the known metronome speed I was punching to.
If you come to the Gathering in New Jersey, you'll get to try it for yourself, and perhaps even win one
