I work the Mexican sway bag with combos and footwork. A bit sloppy and loopy, plus the footage isn't very clear. http://youtube.com/watch?v=sAQQjUIRhxA

Nice footwork. Looks like you've got great movement and balance. I've never hit that style bag. Looks like fun.Speed Bag

Sigh..I miss the double end bag. My joints just can't take the punishment of lots of punching any more though.

I try to focus on my technique, timing and rhythm instead of trying to kill it. I also protect my hands as much as possible by wearing 4 oz. mma gloves inside my 16 oz. bag gloves. It weighs you down and is tiring but the effects are better conditioned arms and safer hands. Thanks for the good words guys, I'd like to see Alan on the sway bag with his lightning hands, or you Tim with your impeccable timing. I believe the dbl end bag is the most intricate and rewarding of the bags, and just as fun as the speedbag...sigpic

It seems I always include the double end bag as part of the workout along with the speed bags.
The two double end bags I have are the small Title and the large Everlast 4222. The title is easy on the body because it is so light but the Everlast comes back at you with a lot more force. Still, I don't find the double end bags any worse on joints than speed bags. That's not to say after a half hour my bad right shoulder says, enough. I've also learned to hit for about 3 minutes, then do a set of squats, hit, squates, ..... It gives the upper then lower body rests while keep the exercise constant.
For me, I always wear hand protection. Although light, it helps the knuckles.

Mike, in other posts I show a rectangular frame I made for he DEB. To me it is ridiculous to just try to hit them straight so they come back straight. Adding the frame allows many more angles to punch at without the DEB going all over the place. I love practicing left and right hooks as the bag comes back at me suddenly. It has really helped with my timing doing that.

It's Shane Mosley training on a SMALL double end bag - which starts about half way through the vid. At about half way through the deb bag portion he really gets DISTURBING -- I mean SERIOUS PRECISION. I don't imagine I could ever get anywhere near that kind of talent, but it's nice to see somebody really exhibit the art. There are some other vids of guys on larger bags who show more of what I am hoping to develop; the double jabs, the 1-2 followed by the hook (I'm a Southpaw).
I hope you get a chance to see this vid - it's a Treat, about half way through he goes to work on the Double Ender.

Mike, I have seen that vid before. My unprofessional, guessing, not-worthy-of listening-to comment about it is this, I'm not quit sure about precision aspect of it. The cords are taut, his gloves are big and have flat surface. What amazes me more than the precision is his bloody fast speed. For crying out loud, the guy is wearing big training gloves which have some weight and his arms are still a blur. One fast dude!
