I am looking to get a heavy bag into my basement (the only style I have any experience with is boxing, so that is what it would used for), and am looking for some opinions on these two styles:
Freestanding Bag: These look convenient, but maybe too light? The heaviest I saw was 270lb, filled.
Heavy Bag Stand: With a speed bag on one side and a heavy bag on the other, this seems to be a good option. The one I was looking at had spots to put weight plates, to help keep it in place. But even with 45lb plates all around, is this going to stay in place during heavy bag work?
Traditional bag hung off the ceiling or one of those tripod wall mount: A heavy bag hung off the cieling is the only style I have any experience with. I KNOW it will work well, but I wonder if I am going to run into problems with hanging a 70-100lb bag off a wood beam over the course of time? I might be able to hang it on the steel main beam, but it might be too low then.
Any opinions from those with experience with the first two styles would be appreciated. They LOOK like good options, but looks can be decieving...
