Question
Could you tell me your opinion of a headhunter bag? I had wanted to put a heavybag in my house but don't have the room. I was looking at the headhunter bag as an alternative. I was not sure if you can only tag it, or really nail it. Is it useless for developing power? If its only for accuracy how does it compare with a double-end speed bag? This is the link for it. Thank you

Answer
Many items such as the headhunter bag are in my opinion just other equipment to increase sales.  Being have said this, I am not saying that it is no good, and it can be used effectively.  I will say though the basic equipment such as heavybags, double end bags, speed bags, and to a degree uppercut bags are still the best items to have.  There are other items such as slip balls, double double bags that are effective, but again I am big on the standard equipment and not as big on these alternative products such as headhunter bags etc.

Thanks,

Joe
