speed bag

Boxer's rapid target

A speed bag is a small, air-filled punching bag anchored at the top, used by boxers to develop hand speed, timing, and rhythm.

The bag rebounds rapidly when struck, requiring quick, repetitive punches to maintain a steady beat: He worked the speed bag until his arms burned.

Also called a speedball.
