Totally on the fence about getting a double end. You say it's fun...? Fun is good.
Rusty, regarding the red bags you have mounted and seen in your current avatar; Did you collect those over time from various places? They look new or at least very well maintained. They all the same bag?Certifiable SBX Attendee 2019

I had trouble getting the bag height correct with bungee on top and bottom. I have the bungee with the molded plastic hooks, so can't adjust the bungee length.
Do you guys like using gloves, wraps, or bare hands? I think I prefer big boxing gloves. Maybe because it softens the punch and the bag doesn't rebound so wild?@ArcSwivel

What I have is a basic Title DE bag (I think 7", maybe 6"...I'd have to measure the circumference and do algebra to be exact, squinting with my eye for a measurement comes to about 6.5 inches wide): https://www.titleboxing.com/punching...double-end-bag
This is set up in my garage gym. So, over the rafters I have an adustable nylon strap attached to the top of the bag (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Classic-...01-00/20302835). That allows me to adjust to the perfect height that suits me.
For the bottom, I use a bungee that's has a clasp at each end instead of hooks.
The bottom is anchored by one of these, filled with sand: https://www.titleboxing.com/punching...nchor-unfilled
I also have a 20lb iron weight that sits beneath the sand-filled anchor, between the base (mine is plywood 12"x12") and the anchor and has the chain running through the center of it.
I also had to replace the bladder sometime within the last year, so I have an orange Enkay bladder (not sure of what size) that I ordered from Forza or Everlast (not 100% sure), that is holding air like a fish and gives an awesome bounce and rebound!!!Last edited by JoMan; 04-19-2019, 06:17 PM.

As far as what gloves...the DE bag is a precision bag used to develop accuracy. So I use some Ringside "mma" style gloves for when I hit this. On the odd occasion I will use regular boxing gloves (usually 10oz) for the DE bag if I want more of a shoulder burn. I've found that 16oz gloves are too cumbersome for hitting a DE, because of the small target window for a DE bag's rebound a 16oz are usually big pillows. I use 16oz on my big 100lb heavy bag, and 10oz also for my 30lb water/foam hybrid bag (It's an old Ringside about 24" high).

I tried a lot of combinations of cables for my double end bag. Adjustable rubber cable on top and bungee cord on bottom worked best for me. Also, i use Title speed bag gloves for my double end bag workout https://www.titleboxing.com/title-le...eed-bag-gloves. I don't use them on the speed bag but they work like a charm for the double end bag! Here's a picture of my setup:Last edited by Zaz; 04-23-2019, 08:16 AM.
