    Hi guys I am completely new to the forum and "speedbagging" in general. I recently bought a heavybag/speedbag stand from Century fitness. The stand came with a Century 10 x 7- 10oz- vinyl speedbag. The hardware included most closely resembles a large chain link. Im sure you could view a picture online. I was just wondering if this is a good speedbag and a good set of hardware for it. If not, what would be a better speedbag/hardware set to purchase? BTW I am only 16 years old, 5'11", and 130 lbs. I am trying to become an amateur boxer. Any info. would be great. Thanks guys. Oh by the way has anyone heard of FORZA speedbags and/or used them? Besides the Century bag these are the only ones I buy locally. They come in 12 oz. and 14 oz. sizes..... how big is that? which would be best for me?....Sorry for such a long question just a bit confused. Some brands say their speedbags are 10" x 7" and so on, while others say 10 oz. or 12 oz........ THANKS!!!

    Hi juststartingout

    Everyone has to start sometime! Welcome.

    Your description sounds like: Century Freestanding HB & SB platforum

    and the bag is:

    Century 10x7 speed bag

    These are probably fine. I have only hit a century bag a few times and it seemed OK, although not enough to give an detailed description. I have never really seen speed bags listed as "Ounces" such as 10oz or 12oz. Perhaps that is the volume of air or water they would hold. ??

    Most bags I have ever seen are listed by size:such as

    TitleBoxing Speedbags and Ringside Speed bags.

    You can't go wrong with either brand. Personally, I'm using Title bags right now due to teardrop shape, which is my own preference.

    Good luck with your bag and equipment.
