hi
my gym have just had a speed ball put up and i was having a go on it the other day. it is really good fun and i find it very easy. I realise that it is a good weightless way to strengthen the pecks as you can really feel it working while youre punching away but does it serve any other purpose? the name suggests that it helps with speed , but i personally dont see how , but feel that there might be some timing training within it .does any body else train with one of these things or would fellow gung fu practioners consider them to be a waste of time? (training this regularly would not substitute any other part of training but would add to my total regime)
all answers would be appreciated.
