    SO the speedball is popped at our gym and i dont think there going to replace for a while as they have very poor funding. SO what alternative is there to at home? Apart from a speedbag and slip bag as i got no space to put them

    Make one. They're only an inflated ball with a backboard hanging from a bracket.

    Just shadowbox for the time being (with weights preferably). Win points with your trainer and go out and buy a replacement.

    So really speed ball is not a important part in boxing training?
    Just a good addition?
