String length is important. When i was punching the ball the knot untied itself and the elastic gave a real good smack to my face 😂😂😂

Better late than never. Just bought one and on the box it says the elastic under tension should place the ball around crotch area. Guess it depends on the elastic/ball.

I flinch a lot during sparring and I way I’ve tried to combat this is throwing the ball straight and blocking or slipping it while keeping eyes focused. A more advanced step might be parrying/countering as it comes back towards me. Hopefully this helps someone. Thank you for the awesome videos! 🤙

I’ve noticed another good advanced drill is focusing on a point in the distance and hitting the ball without looking at the ball with your centralized vision. I feel like it helped me see hits that are coming from my peripheral vision and react to them with more certainty. Also to get the rhythm down I noticed that sitting down and practicing the feel of it while watching tv is helpful, because then when adding it to training it’ll be a little more fast pace after that week-month period of getting it down.

Thank you for video. All reflex balls different. Some on amazon are easier than others because of action of elastic. The most advanced one I found is title boxing’s one with smallest ball. But making your own is great if great too.
