I got a question.....

[Dizaster]

For starters I want to thank EVERYONE for their advice I really appreciate it.

uhhh...u pay for that thing already?

Mick,

A, I'm surprised you're such a fan of bxing yet have never really done it. (Am I right?)

B, I hate to tell you this, bro, but I think honestly is best. Cancel your order if you can. you are far etter off to stick with itemizing things.... buy a decent heavy bag from title or ringsde an hang it from your rafters.

screw the speed bag. if you're a newb, you don't need it. The truth is, you'll be disappointed with that speedbag. the bag will have poor action and the platform will be very flimsy. You have to spend big bucks tog et a decent speedbag platform. I made my own out of wood form a high end lumber yeard. $65 should get you some nice 2" thick red oak. Then buy a bag and swivel from title.

Von,

1. I've boxed before and have been in a gym.

2. When I said what do I do with it, I meant the actual item asking if anyone else had one or had used one. I guess I should have been more specific.

3. Your "Return Item" comment scares me... The thing with buying the items in sections to set them up alone would be buying/building the mounts and or areas in which to set them up which I think is more then what I want. I've got enough tasks here fixing up my house with remodeling and doorways etc. etc. that the last thing I'd want is another job.

Thank you for your honesty I can appreciate that, but I guess at this moment I have no choice and I have to make the best of it. Maybe you can help me out and find a way to work with what I've got.

I'm going to have a look at one of the stands in a week or 2 at a sport store around the corner, so i'll tell you how much room they have etc... I'll also test the speed bag platform out to see if they are sturdy.. Even though i'm sure different brands are a bit different, i'll get an idea whether they are just crap or worthwhile... If it came to it, you could probably upgrade the wood to something a little thicker or even get a new swivel/bag eventually...

It's difficult not having any place to hang that stuff.. Especially a double ended bag..

Should I use air or helium to inflate the speed bag and the double end bag?

Anyone?

Believe it or not I don't really use the speed ball, but I'd say air is better.
