Hi Guys,
I am working on a youtube account to upload some videos, it wont be long.
In the mean time, at the moment, i am just working the bag as a boxer, no 'tricks'. Walk before i can run, get to know the behavior of my 9x6 etc.
My hand speed is good and i can really move the bag along now,
12 x 3min rounds 4 days a week, is the usual minimum.
When i mean hand speed, i am using the Moby song 'Flower' as my fast sets, if you're familiar with the song, you can kind of get the idea, in double time...if that makes sense.
But as i get fast, i feel like i am chasing the bag away from me, like i can't get it to come back to me fast enough for the next strike and as such chasing the bag. I am in a sense having to hit the bag 'behind' its natural hanging point as opposed to when it is at its closest point to me.
i am using the 3-bounce between strike style, not the 1-bounce between strike style.
My bag is inflated to a point where if i give it a squeeze i can make a dent, but not squash it.
I have a 9x6 leather bag on a Jim Bradley swivel, mounted to a stand alone stand as shown and the hinge pin is tightened enough to allow the bag ti swing freely without friction.
Am i looking at a technique issue or an equipment issue do you think?
I will get a video up as soon as I can to accompany my questions.
Thanks everyone!
Jeff
