Specialty Bags
TITLE Boxing is the world leader in developing and introducing specialty training bags and unique equipment to improve every aspect of boxing training, on both offense and defense. An expansive variety of training bag shapes, sizes, angles, and options develops athletes punching attack and striking options. Master and perfect uppercuts, hooks, specialty punches, head and body targets, angled punches, combinations, and more to become a complete boxer. In addition, sharpen head movement, slipping punches, and reflex training to gain the winning edge.
Although most workouts can be accomplished on your standard heavy bags, double end bags, and speed bags, there are some skills that really require more specific targets.
While heavy bags work best for straight punches and various hooks, their shape doesn’t really provide a good target to land an uppercut. That’s why additional specialty bags, designed for a greater variety of angles and options, can add more necessary choices to your training routine.
Aside from standard vertically shaped heavy bags, uppercut bags provide a horizontal target so that punches can be thrown in an upward fashion. This makes them a better bag to practice throwing uppercuts correctly on. Having a bag that allows you to practice the right technique is important to avoid creating bad habits by being forced to alter the delivery of your punches to accommodate the shape of the bag.
Other types of specialty bags help train specific punches and are used to perfect technique. A punching ball or reflex bag, for instance, are both smaller targets that require greater accuracy. They move at a faster pace that requires more speed, timing, and focus. A horizontal punching ball or free-standing reflex bag is designed to respond and rebound from every punch. In many cases, they demand more action from an athlete, as opposed to a heavy bag, which moves and reacts at a much slower pace.
Incorporating the right TITLE Boxing bag into your training mostly depends on what skill or punch you’re trying to develop. Each bag has its own unique qualities, whether it’s the shape, the responsiveness, the feel, or specific purpose. Having greater variety in all types of styles and that meets a wide range of needs will help you improve as a fighter based on what your boxing goal is. You can get most of what you need from a heavy bag, but training with different types of specialty bags will help you become more well-rounded and able to quickly adapt to the style of opponent that you find yourself matched up with.
