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.

well, I hope I'm wrong then. The double ender will be fine, and he heavy ok too mmost likely. but try your best to anchor the speed bag platform. you might be wise to build your own platform after the fact and secure THAT to it. th heavier the platform, the better the rebound/action. as you already know.
