A speedball is a small and light boxing ball available in various compact sizes. The smaller the ball, the higher the level of the boxer and the required technique.
Normally, a speedball is attached to a platform with a so-called swivel. This is a type of hook that absorbs the rotation and spring of the ball. The best is a platform that is height adjustable to get the right height for everyone.
Improve your speed and accuracy with a speedball
A speedball is used to improve the speed, accuracy, and reflexes of the boxer. They are also a great training tool for enhancing hand-eye coordination.
Speedballs are designed to strengthen your hand-eye coordination and speed up your reaction time. With consistent training, you can refine your punching techniques and take your boxing skills to the next level.
Improvement of your condition and shoulder strength
They also help increase your overall condition. Some boxing gyms end every training session with a few rounds on the speedball to ensure the boxer learns to always keep their hands up. Even when he or she is extremely tired and exhausted, it is essential to keep the hands and guard high.
Proper technique when using a speedball
When using a speedball, the correct technique and form are important to get the most out of your training. This means keeping your hands up and your elbows in, and using your wrists and forearms to control the ball.
If you dare to take on the challenge, you can elevate your skills by adding a speedball to your training routine.

A speedball is a small, lightweight boxing ball that is attached to a platform via a swivel—a hook that absorbs the ball's rotation and rebound. You use a speedball to improve your reflexes, speed, accuracy, and hand-eye coordination. Speedball training also strengthens your shoulder muscles and overall fitness.
Which speedball suits my level?
The size of the speedball determines the level of difficulty: the smaller the ball, the faster your reactions need to be and the higher the required skill level. Beginners and recreationalists generally prefer a larger size or a freestanding speedball, while advanced and professional boxers benefit from a smaller speedball such as the Rival RSPD3-85 or the Cleto Reyes Classic.
What is the difference between a speedball and a freestanding speedball?
A classic speedball is attached to a platform or ceiling via a swivel and requires a fixed installation. A freestanding speedball stands independently on a weighted plastic base that you fill with water or sand, making it ideal for home use without drilling or mounting. Freestanding speedballs are also height-adjustable, making them suitable for multiple users.
Wipe your speedball with a damp cloth after each training session and let it air dry. Do not use harsh cleaning agents. Treat leather speedballs regularly with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Store your speedball in a dry place and out of direct sunlight to protect the materials.
A swivel (also called a pivot) on a punching bag allows the bag to rotate freely. The advantage of this is that the forces exerted on the punching bag are less direct and intense. This extends the lifespan of the punching bag.
For speedballs:
These swivels are specifically designed for speedball training and contain ball bearings for smoother rotation.
