In fact - Jack aint swinging anything into a heavy bag. He's just talking about it and letting other folks give it a poke.
Its sad to read what he and others write on this subject - and if you really think about the timing required to do this heavy bag drill without injury - you may change your mind about its appropriateness for a growing young boy.
If the timing is wrong - (which i would guess in 99% of the cases it would be) you have a major problem.
Its just sad for me to read this stuff some times.
Sorry for the opinion against the stuff. I am not trying to be offensive - and I sincerely hope it works for you.
Thanks for the warning itsinthegame. But I wasn't referring to Mankin's thread in support of the heavy bag; rather, just to contemplate his thoughts on the use of deflated balls on a tee. I can see how it could cause kids to roll their wrists early/excessively.
