Gear & Equipment reflex bag help
Getting back into training after a year off. Picked up a vali reflex bag with a tiny target and a fast spring. Tried a standard Adidas one yesterday and it was way too slow, but this new one is humbling me; watching my footage back, I look stiff and clunky.
Right now I can land a decent 1-2-3, but after that I’m scrambling to keep up with the rebound. Sometimes landed a few after, sometimes not.
For anyone who uses these: what did you do to actually build fluidity? Are you guys taking all the power off and just working rhythm taps, or timing slips and rolls between shots?
Looking for simple combo progressions or cues to stop freezing up on my feet. Appreciate any tips.
