Double end bag vs uppercut punchbag

Which equipment is better to increase ur speed in combinations with all kinds of punches?

I reckon the end bag is a bit difficult to do the uppercut though.

I would say double end bag.

The d-e bag allows you to work on your timing, footwork, as well bobbin & weaving with head and upper body. I work various jab and cross pattern combinations while moving around the bag. Moving in and out to change you distance from the bag also allows you to practice blocking or moving out of the way of a punch. I started by using boxing gloves and as I got proficient at punching the bag I slowly downgraded my hand gear to just wraps. I work elbows, back fists and ridge hands into my combinations too.

You are right, uppercuts can be done but it’s difficult. I don’t work uppercuts on the d-e bag.

What about this thing it as a curve for uppercuts but im not sure if it could provide me with the same exercise a end bag would?

I have one of those types of bags. Although they are meant for you to be able to uppercut, I really don't like doing them on it. The bag is so heavy it doesn't really move much when you do the punch and its very easy to bend your wrists. But I think its great for kicking..

Maybe I' odd in my way of thinking.... but upper cutting isn't something that I feel the need to practice on a bag on a regular basis. For me, upper cutting is more about holding and maintaining my shoulder and elbow positions while twisting at the hips. I practice the punch shadow boxing and I seem to generate a lot power when I work with someone on the hand pads.

You can still practice the motion of the upper cut on the de- bag but you won't be able to practice for power. The only thing I've seen on the market for practicing power upper cuts is that ring you can install on a free standing heavy bag.

The double ended bag is going to be more versitile for you.

I have a double end bag, they are fun and very portable if mounted like mine

I have my mounted between two pullups bars on my door at uni as im not allowed to drill or anything.

I find uppercuts are better on a DEB than on a heavy bag you can make them true and vertical rather than at an angle which can hurt your wrists.
