Get a long pole that fits into the sleeve and sticks out the ground above your head on a 45% angle ,hang a chain and a hook off the top and you lift the bag in and out every fine day and hang it on it... (thats extra power training right there). Also swinging a heavy bag off a real long rope gets you into some intersting footwork and you can evade and then chase the bag or avoid it and go on angles etc.
    Brilliant!! I moved out 2 months ago and didn't bring my heavy bag because the only place to hang it extremely high, and I didn't think it would work... But that has given me a reason to drive home and grab it now...

    i have and have used a wavemaster style heavy bag, and my comments are as follows, better than nothing, but still noisy as hell, that would stand true for any bag.my parents had a house with an i beam not wood that went along the bottom floor as a support. this you could use as something to hook the bag too and it won't shake the house(probably) a floor standing bag will also travel across the floor as you hit it, this becomes anoying. for working footwork, not so good unless you want to chase it. also it may leak, and it could leak a lot...i dumped one on the floor deliberately, and it made it rain one floor below me...don't ask why, just trust me i am not always patient with bullies or fools.all in all not a badproduct, but still loud, and a bit limited as compared to a hanging bag.

    Be patient and Shadowbox more.

    You'll get far better results from applied shadowboxing than knocking lumps out of some stationery pillar.
