Can most people bend the heavy bag when punching it ?

Is it easy to bend the side of a heavy bag with a punch ?

Some people push on the bag a boxing coach taught me if you can hit the bag without making it move you have mastered the art of snapping a punch which I did with practice

So zero resistance doesnt sound good for power or joints. Dont you want to practice punching through your target

Some of them, especially when they are new, you can’t even bend with a kick. I try to avoid those if possible, they leave me with sore hands.

This teaches snap like a whip effect which rattles the brain, Most fighter in a bout are not punching through as you say they are hitting and bringing their hand right back. which if think of a whip it hits and snaps back into place and that is what you must do when you fight, Punching through works when you have someone hurt or against the ropes, Do you see Lomachenko throwing homer shots with every punch ? just imagine your arm like a whip when you throw your right handy extend your arm all the way till the elbow extends than you snap it back into place meaning your chin this is how some old man taught me it keep you from going off balance and it teaches to bring your hand back so your not caught
