| Singularity - have you considered a hanging bag with a bag stand? |
I have. I'm not sure that would work with the layout of my basement. Our ceilings are about 6 and a half feet tall where there is no plumbing, boiler pipes or electrical. I'm also nervous about drilling into the floor. |
Alternatively, websites like Title.com or Ringside.com have some alternative heavy bag hangers that you can use that I believe don't involve screwing in. |
Somehow I missed part of that...
You don’t need to screw anything into the floor. I’ve never seen a bag stand that screws into the floor.
Something like this (I’m not endorsing this on in particular)...

No screwing to anything (no pun intended). You’d need to buy a few weight plates to keep it from moving. The weights go on the pegs on the legs and the back. Or sandbags. |
I have looked into these. So far, I haven't found one that's short enough. Most are 7" tall, and some are taller.

I have the same issue too. I could technically get a bag stand into my basement, just not where I could have enough room to actually hit the bag. If I hung the bag from the beams, the top of the bag would be at eye level. I even went as far as making a model of a bag out of sleeping bags and hanging it to be 100% sure it wouldn’t work.
I bought the BOB XL. No regrets. An Outslayer Muay Thai bag would’ve been better, but not in my house. It’s a compromise like everything else; I wanted a Porsche Cayman S, but everything dictated buying a Toyota Highlander instead. When I buy a home, one of my priorities will be a Muay Thai bag. When that happens, I’ll have that AND my BOB XL  |

If your looking at something to affix to the floor that you can strike, why not a Makiwara?
They are very easy to make, cheap and give outstanding results. Just saying...

Sorry for the delayed reply. I wouldn't mind having a makiwara for some purposes. I want something I can whale on with both fist and foot to develop power.

So, I ordered the T2, and it should be here next week! I'll report back after I beat on it for a while.

Looking forward to hearing what you think of it.
