Speed Bag?

[RedStreak]

I have a relatively foolish question. There is a training bag/ball that is stands on a pole and bounces bag and forth when punched. Is this called a speed bag (i know the one that hangs is called one, but is this a different type). I just wanted to know what it is technically called.
Also, i was thinking of purchansing one help with my speed and coordination. Any advice; maybe some preferred drills.

I started with:

Right Hammerfist (Inward) - 3 count bounce - Right Hammerfist (Backhand), then Left Inward - 3 count bounce - Left backhand... Eventually work that up to 1 count bounce. Same with the rest:

Double and tripple jabs
Jab (Inward), Cross
Backhand, Cross
Inward, Downward Elbow, Backhand
Inward, Downward Elbow, Backhand, Backward(Smashing) Elbow
Jab, Hook
Hook, Hook
Hook, Rear Hook, Hook
Siniwalli

Basicaly almost anything eventually.

Many others.

the Speed Bag can be used very effectively by martial artists of all styles to work fists and elbow techniques quickly and repetitively: to hit a rapidly moving target close to the face.

I think you're describing what ring side calls a cobra reflex bag, basically a speed bag on a pole with a spring, the ad promise all the action of a speed bag with the slipping of a double end bag, bullshit i ordered one and not only was it way slower than either a speed bag or my mini pro double end bad but the speed bag part kept spinning like 360 every time i hit it which according to the ring side reps on the phone was not normal, they sent me another cone and bag but the same thing happened, too bad because if it worked like the catalouge said I'd have gladly kept it since I'm always in search of another station/peice of equipment for my workouts.but alass it's not the first nor will it be the last peice of boxing equipment I'll end up returning, you'd think when you order gym quality equipment you'd at least get what you paid for BUT NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! If the bag works well for you then great don't **** with progress I say.

Me to. I really like it for kicks, ( hooks and cresents) but the upside down speed bag keeps coming unscrewed.
Have to retighten every 4 or 5 kicks or punches.
