Description
The RDX S2 is a small, air-filled speed bag for rhythm and coordination drills. This white version comes with a swivel and a spare bladder; the rebound platform is not included.
What is included
The bag has a genuine-leather outer, reinforced stitching and a lace-up closure. Its top loop attaches to the supplied swivel, which allows the bag to turn and rebound during practice.
A speed bag is designed to strike the underside of a rebound platform. It cannot be used in the same way as a heavy bag hanging freely from a ceiling hook, so include the platform and its mounting arrangement when planning a home setup.
Getting the setup right
Follow the bag’s inflation instructions and check that the platform, swivel and fixings are secure. The working height should let you practise without repeatedly reaching upwards. Begin with light strikes and a steady rebound before trying to increase speed.
