My speed bag set up

[FLg8r]

I took up the speed bag when I retired 7 years ago. They had one at my gym and I felt awkward and foolish when I first tried. But I got hooked and set one up at home. The Speed Bag Bible and some videos got me started, and I still find new goals to strive for. I'm 75 and swear the speed bag is the best exercise for me.

Nice looking setup and The Speed Bag Bible will take you everywhere you never dreamt of going. Enjoy the journey.

Love it man, May i suggest when you start hitting from all sides of the bag, That you get a Ball&S-hook swivel, Although because of the Mechanical design of the Chainlink and U-bolt, They are faster, But after a little while of hitting on a good Ball Hook swivel you won't miss the other designs.

That's an awesome looking setup. Love that book set up.

I agree with Ventanakaz. Eventually you'll want to move to a Ballhook swivel. Especially when you get into Chapter 9 "Side Techniques." That U-bolt causes issues with Side punching. It's possible, but way easier with a Ballhook IMO.

I tried a couple of ball hook swivels but they were noisy. Are there any quiet ones?

The arc is virtually silent. Give the arcitect(rdshackleford)a holler. Also, the plastic Everlast ball hooks pop up on eBay every once in awhile if you want a test run. Local craigslist you can get lucky. Or if you have access to a drill press you can look into ball casters and spherical plain bearings. Sorry, I have a problem
