Does it make you punch harder at all?
absoulotely not, if you want to increase you're punching power you should buy a heavybag.
Dont mean to be asking dumb questions, but does it make you punches faster?
I believe it improves speed, timing stamina etc all of which help build a more powerfull punch. All though it does depend on how you are hitting the speed bag most of all

I belive it makes your punches faster....which means a harder punch to answer your question.....more speed=harder the hit
