    New Member 3 bags to choose from: please advice

    New to the speed bag. Ordered deville swivel. Making my drum with two 3/4 pieces of plywood that I will glue together. I am going to make it 34" round.

    I want to get a 6x9 bag. These are the following choices.

    1. TITLE Boxing Gyro Balanced Speed
    2. TITLE Speed Bags
    3. Ringside

    Please let me know your recommendations. Are used bags any good?

    Thank you

    Nick

            I have never hit a bag seriously.

            Love to lift heavy. I twisted my ankle and ended up with an orthopedic surgeon. He scared me straight.

            At 48 I am coming to an end of lifting heavy. Joints don't grow like muscle. He shared how many knees, elbows and wrists he has to rebuild. Never the same.

            Hard to change but looking forward to this bag. I hope it challenges me with cardio.

            Went to the gym and I challenged the guys to go up 3 flights of stairs. Everyone including me was sucking air and done.

            Great info on the bags.

                I second the double end bag! Wish I would have gotten one years ago.

                  I have never heard of a double sided bag. Which one do you recommend?

                  Went to You Tube to see what it was and how it works. Maybe I should have only ordered this bag. Maybe I don't need the speed bag.

                  Do you guys recommend both?

                  All the guys on You Tube had gloves. Do you guys use gloves to hit the double sided bag?

                  What type of gloves do you recommend if it is a yes?

                    I like having both.

                    I got mma gloves, but you can use good leather work gloves too.
                    No need to get boxing gloves.

                      This is absolutely awsome!

                      I am sure that the double ended bad is very challenging. How big of a bag do you guys usually go for? I

                      Is 8 too large?

                      The Sensei makes it look very easy.

                        I can only speak for myself, I think 7" is perfect...about the size of a head.

                        I bought a Mexican style for no particular reason other then I liked it.
                        I can easily flip it upside down to change height and the way you strike it.

                        I'm sure round is just as good and seems like most use them. Your preference.

                        If you get one, plan on pitching the cheap cord and bungee that comes with it.

                        Just go to Lowe's or Home depot pick up some braided line. They had some in black that measures 3/8" thick.

                        Also pick up a tie down plate with metal loop, for trailer tie down, with two bolt holes to bolt to the floor. I used a couple 2" tapcons in the concrete. If you don't want to bolt it to the floor, it can also be hooked to a weight, or sand filled base.

                        You will need one carabiner. I fond one in stainless that was a perfect size, and a good size eye screw.
                        *see pic

                        Finally, buy one 42" rubber bungee with hooks, also in trailer parts section.
                        Very inexpensive. If you need more tension, you can always tie a knot in it.

                        I hung mine at 5' to center of belly, which feels good to me. Upside down, it's probably 5' 3". I am 6'+ tall.

                        Simple, cheap and a great workout! Note: when not in use, just unhook it.

                        Double click picture to see how I connected it.

                            The ringside does not need a pink bladder. Correct?

                            I am planning to get the ringside 6x9 and the Title 7" double end bag. Maybe I will go with the Title 6x9 and get the orange bladder.

                            I am sure that I will get smacked with it a couple of times.

                            Has anyone ever had a black eye from the double end bag?

                              This impressed the heck out of me. I really wish to try this.
