 |
|
The reason for the question is that i live in a second story duplex without any visible strong rafters and so i will most likely have to end up getting a heavy bag with stand....
But does the stand really get in the way? I guess if you're going all out and want to move around, but considering im getting back into MA maybe its not a big deal?
Anyone with heavy bag not hung on rafters??? Advice? |

I think you are talking about a bag with hung from a cornerman, right? I think that would be ok. It may limit you somewhat, but not too much.

| Cornerman? As in a metal framework that hangs a bag i assume. Well are all stands created equally? Because the rang in prices is huge... |

 .....
in england maybe it would be a large flat on top of another large flat??
a duplex is basically two separate places of residence that are generally one notch above a tiny ghetto college apartement complexes...
but i still dont have any rafters to drill/screw into to hang anything. |

i know that at one of my studio locations a heavy bag hangs from the rafters,and personally i hate it. because it makes a great deal of noise and makes all surrounding rooms shake after one slight hit. so regardless, i think a cornerman should be fine.

A free standing bag with a water filled base may be the way to go.

I can vouch that a bag hung from rafters will shake the surounding structure quite a bit - unless its a garage I'd go with either the metal bag stand wedged into a corner so it doesn't walk too much, or maybe a free standing bag with a weighted base if you aren't too much of a purist.

| well i was looking at those punching bags with the base of sand/water...but the negative i keep hearing is that the notches where you can raise or lower the 'bag' rub out after awhile and the bag just swings around when you hit it.... your opinions?? |
