Hey guys, just found this forum today, I didnt know there was a big following for speed bags.
Anyways today I finally wore out my everlast swivel and it cam apart and the bag smoked me in the face. I have the crappy $60 generic setup [Everlast] So I am thinking about upgrading and buying a wider and thicker board I just have a few questions if anybody could help me.
1) Looking to spend in the 300-400USD range, I would like a thicker board and a decent wall mount so the board doesnt shake too much. Any recommendations?
2) The swivel which the bag stays secure and not come off, it looks longer than the regular cheapo swivels I am used to. Is it longer enough that I will notice a difference in swings?
3) The next day after going on the bag and pumping it up, my bag will always be deflated. Is this a normal thing or is the generic cheapo bag normally like this?
4) Is the diameter of the board [eg. 24", 36"] just a preference for people or is there good reason to go bigger or smaller?
I will post up a vid of my beginner skills soon enough when I get a new swivel or set up.
Thanks for any helpful input!
Tom
