Hi Forum,
I'm new to the forum and the world of speed bags. (I also hope this doesn't somehow post twice since I had a problem with my first attempt).
I've had some finger and hand problems but want to use my left arm more and get more coordination with left and right hands and arms. I've decided to start doing speed bag training sort of as therapy. (My middle finger of my left hand is fused and my right hand has had a slight tendency toward some carpal tunnel after years of computer use-- but I want to use my hands/arms and pound on something and get stronger
I just talked to Ralph (RP65) and he suggested I join and ask my questions. I just ordered a 24 inch everlast elite platform (24 inch, 1.5 inches thick) and was wondering if one of his ringside 9 x 6 bags might be a good way to start? He thought it might be. I'm after something easy on the hands. Or would it make more sense to go for a larger bag? Also...any suggestions on easy ways of taking care of hands (wrapping seems like more of a pain than I'm initially willing to do much of)-- maybe some good padded gloves? Any suggestions for something easy and yet helpful to hands?
Sorry if this is old hat to most of you. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
Jack
