Football Blocking Bags: Punching Bag with a Handle vs. The Colt

Wide receiver or defensive back coaches often use punching bags with handles to simulate the physical matchup between receiver and corner back at the line of scrimmage. The punching bag provides a smaller target than a dummy, encouraging the precise motions necessary to win the individual matchup on the edge.

However, a traditional punching bag leaves something to be desired. There are no arms on a punching bag. Arms and hands are a crucial point of focus for both receiver and corner alike.

A receiver needs immediate separation to get open as quickly as possible. A cornerback must control the receiver’s arms and hands to lock down in coverage.

Krausko’s blocking pads provide a superior mobile alternative for the wide receiver/cornerback matchup. They feature arms that spring back to simulate a football player’s reaction to having them slapped away. This addition makes The Colt uniquely suited for the quick battles at the line of scrimmage.

Prepare your receivers and defensive backs for the frantic individual battles that determine whether your team wins or loses!
