Speed Bag
$80 - $300
A small (6-8 inch diameter), tear-shaped leather bag mounted on a swivel to a wooden platform. The speed bag is a rhythm tool — alternating fists strike the bag in a 1-2-3 rhythm with the rebound. It builds shoulder endurance, hand-eye coordination, and the snap of the punch (the bag responds to a snap, not a push). The signature rhythmic 'rat-a-tat-tat' that defines a boxing gym.
