know I'm late for the party, but I'd like to throw my .02 on some of the problems I saw come up in some of the replies..
For the speed bag platform I put a bag of old clothes on top of the platform. Just the other day I added some left over sand that I used to make some medicine balls into the bag to give it a little bit more weight. It stays pretty still. And the rebound works better than if I didn't have anything up there.
As for the Heavy bag I took the chains that came with the bag off. I used the ones that came with the stand, but I moved the "S" hooks up some so the bag wouldn't be so low. I also duct taped the ends so they wouldn't cut into the bag...
Anyway the stand is the best thing when your wife doesn't want you to put holes in the ceiling..

I had the Century stand, and I almost wanted to give up speedbagging I was so frustrated with the vibration and attempts to fix it. I had to go to a wall mount. I see Tim proves that a stand will work, though!

Originally posted by biguglybear View PostOh, I gave the stand up, too. I was just pointing out that if a stand is your only option, it will work. It just takes a hell of a lot more patience.Speed Bag
