I purchased both the medium ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfh2XUOHWYHKQYOvSq2gZ6PyCmVkTFGWz and small speed bags from Meister. I'm very glad I got both as the workout is quite different from the two. The small is fantastic for getting your speed built up once familiar with your striking. The medium bag provides a considerable amount more resistance building more strength in your punches. I highly recommend both sizes.Some people have expressed concern over the latex bladder leaking down more frequently than the traditional rubber. I have not found this to be an issue at all.

Good job on the video of your progression of speed bag skill. I am about 60 years old and I have just started learning the speed bag. Lots of fun, Thanks for the vid.
My grandson is a mixed martial artist and makes the speed bag sound like an instrument so at the age of 74 I started hitting the bag .That was 3 years ago and I love it. Hell I even started doing light weight training.
Edit: I built mine about a couple of weeks after I posted that first comment and love it. I still use it about 3 or 4x a week. I was an amateur boxer years ago so I already knew the basics, but for tricks and better flow I've learned tons from Jeff Thrasher. Check out his channel if you haven't already seen it. Hes a fantastic instructor.
You improved about 99.9%. You know you did., quit being so modest. Great job Man. Are you fighting in the ring now? If so would like to see a video of your best fight. I’m 72yo & can’t compete now but use to do a little club fighting. We made $200 for a win & $50 to the looser. Didn’t make much money but got to be friends with a lot of real men. Only got knocked out 1time, but it was by a heavy weight & I was a middle weight. I was winning the fight till he landed 1 punch. He was 1 of George Formans sparing partners. Can’t except your challenge cause I’m about as good as I’ll ever get. Good job buddy
It was very entertaining watching your progress. I love the speed bag. I found from watching a Pacquiao video that if I hit the speed bag over my head I can achieve a faster rythym, I can feel a strong breeze coming from the speed bag, then I just raise my head up right and continue the fast rythym. It worked for me but not sure if other people would get same results.
Excellent job man! Beautiful rhythm, great speed. Nice drum too. Did you just screw the swivel in, or do you have bolts going all the way through? Also what is the swivel your using?
Amazing my friend . Some People don't understand the benefit of hitting, its a great shoulder exercise, improves hand eye coordination as well as timing . Add some foot work to your sessions and move around with the bag in hits . Also add more trap techniques and use the bag to practice, slipping ducking dodging and countering . Great job buddy 👏
Looking great young man. Keep your thumbs tucked in nice and tight or your going to end up breaking your thumbs in a street fight. That can be a painful bad habit. Try using some hand wraps or RDX gloves with the pads over the knuckles. You can pick them up on Amazon for 15 bucks . But can help you keep your thumbs in tight. And make sure you are at a good distance where you get good extension in your punches . If you're to close you will develop a bad habit of bending your wrist and that could be bad in a real fight. You want to be hitting the bag with your fist and not the side of it unless you are practicing block then punch rhythm. Hope this helps. I just started doing this again three months ago. But I boxed when I was 12 till about 18 and every day back then. Till just recently it had been 22 years so a little rusty but just like riding a bike. The next day no problem. Definitely not as fast as I was in my teenage years. But not bad for my early 40s . But I have a teenage daughter so I thought it would be a great idea to develop some speed just incase if you no what I mean. Anyway good luck to you. Bag work is a lot of fun and a good tool to develop hand speed. And remember your power shots come from your legs and hip movements that is what the heavy bag is for. Speed bag is for hand speed now that you got your timing down don't forget to breathe thru your nose and move your feet while your punching
nice progression on the circle punches. need some work on the straight punch. try nothing but straight punches and see if you can progress with those as well. remember the straight punch lands the first two fingers (pointer and middle) on the bag.
Nice, keep it up!. Pretty good hand speed on your fist roll! Curious if you have any neighbors? Lol. Sounds like it echoes through the whole valley lol
Great job... Play music while you hit the bag. It will help you work on basic repetitive TIMING. Also listing to music is like boxing 1 round , You hit well, but you need to last longer, slow the punching down to get in the most shots before you have to take a breather... Best of luck
I am on Day 2. I loved how u made progress and the way u made this Video... This is what i call a real Transformation not those fake 30day challenge and Transformation tht we are often mislead into. I saw this video 2day for the 1st time👍🏻 so, i will definitely take this challenge. Thanks for this Motivational video m8👍🏻 i really appreciate it
Hey man, like the vid! I have a double end bag that I LOVE and a heavy bag. Thought about getting a a speed bag , is it worth it? I’m just worry about the noise as this will be in my garage and I work out at 4am, don’t want to wake the neighbors
Country Boy Boxing I have got a speed ball shackle what the ball fixes to I just need to get some wood to make the speed ball platform 😀🥊 I will layer the wood up like you have done 😀🥊
Great video. I’m day 2. It’d be cool if I was as quick as you at the end of 31. Quick question for anyone. I have a medium sized cheap ass ever last bag with a plastic swivel ball. The bag seems lopsided and it can be a challenge to hit. Like I said, today is day two and I can’t tell if the issue is more the bag vs the hitter, but when I strike it more firm, it works well enough. Are most bags somewhat lopsided? As small as the bag seems, it seems to play enough of a role that has me looking at a new bag. I bough the set up used and am loving it.
Number 1: FANTASTIC job!!! Number 2: Wrap your hands (just in case). Number 3: Do a 30 day challenge of “trapping” the speed bag. Seriously, search it on UA-cam. There is one guy from Texas who does an absolute beautiful demonstration. It is hard, but a really good workout. Keep up the hard work!! Oh yeah, you’ll never lose the timing. It’s like riding a bike. Once you learn how, you never lose it. Well, unless you suffer massive brain trauma. So don’t let that happen.
You need to learn to hit it with your elbows and sideways also. I started hitting a speed bag when I was 5 years old. Boxed amateur in my younger days. I am 70 now and haven't hit one in a while but it wouldn't take me long to get it back now. Lol. Very good exercise. Keep at it.
Have you learned how to get good yet? Did you ever start linking or using your elbows? I remember when I watched this not quite a year ago then I saw a video of Speed Bag Skunk. If you haven’t heard of him you’re welcome. Go learn what Bible style speed bag is.

I just started the bag about a week ago 10 mins a day minimum and I already can see a difference
That's great man! Keep it up!
I just started two days ago and it’s a lot of fun.

Great video, great progress and great improvement. Video was uploaded in March 2019. I'm writing in October 2020. You must be a pro by now. Congrats!
Not bad. Just ordered my setup. Haven’t used one since my grandpa was alive looking foward to it.
Nice job great improvement in a short time 👍🥊

That was awesome! Yeah, you improved!
Under that tin roof, I really hope you're wearing hearing protection. Sounds great! Looks great! Keep it up!
That first video I can tell it wasn’t your first day, you hit that bag before or had some type of training
nice work!!! im 50 and puttin the gloves on again!!! did good kid!!!
Excellent job man! Beautiful rhythm, great speed. Nice drum too. Did you just screw the swivel in, or do you have bolts going all the way through? Also what is the swivel your using?
Nobody will never kick sand his face! Good job!
Thats sick bro...what a big difference.. good job kid...
Great work brother! Practice definitely leads to Improvement! Lookin good

Very good platform but the metal roof is a bit noisy
Good job.. what was the circumference of plywood circles?? I want to the same platform as yours .. thank you
miguel horton I believe it was 25 inches
That awesome brother!!
Thanks
I'm digging it!
I’ve just mine hahah wish me luck I’ll upload my progress hope I’m as good as you xxx
Well done!
Outstanding
Dude that’s a dope speed bag set up!!!!
thanks ya'll for the kind words
yall say a prayer for my family if you love Jesus.. We are going through some rough times
What set up is this?
How much did the board cost? Looks expensive
Eeeee smooth with it at the end
Home boy gots the hands.
Nice quick question how is the derabulity of the bag so far
Damn broo you hitting that like Paquio in last part of the video😂
where can i buy this exact same speedball?
You need to learn to hit it with your elbows and sideways also. I started hitting a speed bag when I was 5 years old. Boxed amateur in my younger days. I am 70 now and haven't hit one in a while but it wouldn't take me long to get it back now. Lol. Very good exercise. Keep at it.
I support you brother.
Bro that awesome 👏🏼
Nice man
Bravo bravo 👏👏👏👏
show me complete set up contruction?
What kind of swivel is on your speed bag?
Have you learned how to get good yet? Did you ever start linking or using your elbows? I remember when I watched this not quite a year ago then I saw a video of Speed Bag Skunk. If you haven’t heard of him you’re welcome. Go learn what Bible style speed bag is.
Definitely a good job kid
Where did you get the platform?
I learned how to use a speedbag in 10 minutes I shit you not,soon as I learned I never stopped,good video btw
I think it's great improvement
Cool video...keep it up fam
Well done
Amazing job bud!!
You did good young man you did good.
