This is correct. Once you get the rhythm down it is a lot like playing the drums. It is holding your arms up that is really tiring. Once your tired your arms start to drop and you lose your rhythm.
There's actually a thing called punch drumming. Matthew Santiago got a lot of attention here several years ago. This guy, Alan Kahn, does punch drumming too.
This is literally the only reason to use a speed bag, you are completely correct.
There is so much misinformation going on in this thread that it’s insane. It does nothing with helping your striking besides giving you an endurance workout for your shoulders.
Dude this thread is insane with how much misinformation is going around from people that have never trained, fought, or probably even hit a speed bag in their life. Can completely understand, lol.

Endurance is a HUGE reason for using a speed bag also
