Question
What are the best sizes for speed bags and double end bags.  I am athletic, have kids and would consider a couple of different sizes for each type.

Thank you.  

Answer
Hi Mike,   for the kids you would go with the larger sizes and for adults as yourself you want the smaller speedbags and double end bags. the smaller bags are faster and more difficult to hit. Go to www.ringside.com and check out there selection. Their products are fairly priced and good quality ( I have no connection). This much better stuff than you can get in the sporting goods store.

Thanks for the question.....

Experience

I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
