Don't just 'predict' the bag coming and move out of the way. Let the bag get as close as you can 'feel' it can possibly get before you GTFO. Train yourself to 'react' to the 'Oh shit it's going to hit me' feeling instead of just teetering back and forth to a rhythm.
Good idea. Or, if you are totally broke you can hang a tennis ball in the garage and get much of the same benefit.
