Heavy bag

Dear Mr. Mankin,
I've seen mention of swinging into a heavy bag. At what point in the swing would you want to make contact with the bag? In relation to the plate, would it be slightly ahead or further back? Should there be any energy left in the swing so the bag would offer resistance upon further bat rotation, or should the bag act as a 'stop' and aimpoint with no energy left in the swing.

Thanks for your input

Franko
