Yeah, I was thinking more of a custom builds kind of thing Jumping into mass production out of the gates would need some big wigs

I would think mass producing would be out of the question. The speed bagging community is decent. But then the ball and hook community is so small it couldn't sustain mass produced products and almost all large companies stopped making them. The people that would want these products would be a subset even smaller from the ball and hooks bible style community. Best bet would be a go fund me that would aim towards making single custom units for those interested. From a economic and business perspective this is how it would have to start out to not die off before it gets started. If from here people post videos and get good at it, the demand will go up and mass production could be considered and signing the patents on with a larger exclusive producer.

So the bag moves around the ring in a "dynamic" pattern on a drive belt. Crazy. Looks like a lot of thought and time went into this. Standing still is not intended if I am tracking this right.
Alan, have you thought about a gofundme? Who needs the big companies. You have a legion of people who would be willing to help carry the load. Maybe I'm being naive

The guy sent me several models to try, and I'd use it, video tape it and send him the video tape. I made a "timed test" and did find that with his speed ring an 11x8 would indeed go as fast (measure rebounds for 1 minute with a clock) as a 9x6... So - it worked. But why? Why would someone drill holes in their board to hang the speed ring (created for large bags) so that bag will go as fast as a 9x6 or 8x5? Isn't it easier to just use a 9x6 bag and not tie up your board with a ring, which did not work too well with a 9x6 or 8x5 because the ring connected more toward the bottom of the bag. Anyway he was sure that this would revolutionize speed bag training and take the boxing world by storm. Well, it didn't. I did float the idea to Ringside and Title at the time, but it was a short conversation. I've similar approaches for various setups, such as Door Frames, Circular Poles (like backyard basketball poles) and basement columns. Apparently people think if I present it to a boxing company they will consider it. Not true. I have found most boxing companies are satisfied with speed bag equipment pretty much as it is and are not interested in running up costs to make it "better". But the internet will let you pretty much sell anything if you can produce it.

A selectable support apparatus for a speed bag includes a rigid planar element having first and second end portions with a longitudinal axis therebetween, the rigid planar element also includes a first and second margins with a transverse axis therebetween. The rigid planar element having a rebound surface for the speed bag and an opposing work surface with a centerline axis therebetween. The rigid planar element also includes an elongated aperture that is disposed therethrough the rigid planar element wherein the elongated aperture is positioned parallel to and along the longitudinal axis. The elongated aperture extends for a portion of the rigid planar element as between the first and second end portions. Also, the elongated aperture extends from the rebound surface to the work surface along the centerline axis. In addition, the work surface includes a mechanism for suspending and moving the speed bag therethrough and along the elongated aperture.
Don't forget to open the .pdf to see lots of pictures of this..Tags: None
