how can i learn to slip punches?

[HerbM]

The tennis ball is a really good idea.

I had forgotten that we have a slip bag (or some name) tied like that. It's a small sand bag that you tie off at head leaven and then start it swinging back and forth. It's heavy enough that it's very mildly uncomfortable to get hit, but light enough it does no damage.

The idea of course is to slip back and forth, throwing punches while it is in it's swing and slipping when it gets near your head (front or back.)

Not hard to setup and cheap. Best is to have a fairly high ceiling or hang point so you get a pretty long swing without much input.

Look (now) at the related posts (or search for "Slip Bag") since that is causing the related posts to bring up articles about how to use this resource.

I just pasted in what was showing there (in Related Posts) for me so you would have something to search:
