I use a floor-ceiling ball (AKA top and bottom bag) *a lot*. I have one at home, and it gets more use than my heavy bags. Get that thing really flowing, and keep changing your point of contact - its really easy to fall into a rhythm on them, which is a lot of fun and a good arm workout, but not much for timing and accuracy.

The F-C ball is a real heartbreaker when you start out on it...it embarrasses *everyone*.

Finally, my dad gave me the best timing and accuracy advice i've ever heard when i started boxing - "Hit where you're looking, don't look where your hitting."

Sounds stupid, but try it. It works.

you could use a sibling or one of them balls that are tied to the ceiling and floor.

Does anyone use a training dummy like B.O.B. or the Ultraman to get pin point accuracy?
