I just want to introduce myself. My name is Andrew I used to box when I was a teenager and loved the speed bag. Over the past 6 months I have lost 50lbs just dieting and have been looking for a workout I can do from home that is still fun. I decided to buy a speedbag setup. Being somewhat frugal and not knowing if I was going to have issues with my shoulders, I decided to keep it cheap and buy this setup Title Complete Setup
Well that was 3 weeks ago.
- Hated the gloves, definitely not ideal for speed bag at all. So I bought different ones
- Hated the swivel, bought This swivel. Also going to purchase an arc swivel as that seems to be pretty good.
- The platform was not solid enough and had some dead spots so I got a wooden wire spool and reinforced it. It helped but I think I still need something a little more dense. Also have a 30lb bag on top of it.
Needless to say I should have just spent some extra on a better setup.
Next up to replace is the bag. This one is already wearing out. Plus I think I want to go a little smaller.
My wife is getting hooked too so I may just leave this one up for her since she is about 8" shorter than me.
If you have any recommendations for setups under $200 I am all ears. Just platform and brackets. I was looking at the xmark one but still not sure yet.
