got the board 2day, its not exactly as in the display pic, the steel a frame isnt as big as the 1 pictured but for 27 pounds i really cant nock it for my 1st platform. it has a laminated MDF board which is jst under an inch thick.... as i suspected the bag and swivel are generic and crap, but will last me for a while untill ive got enough for a new setup... will take and upload a piccy now

think for the next setup ill make it myself, make it more heavy duty and give it a professional swivel and bag.

unfortunately my mother has the attachement for the foot pump to blow up the bag in her car so i cant give it a good bashing yet :(

heres the pics

I notice the mounting arms are pretty close, they appear to be 12 inches or less from each other. You may want to mount that platform to a piece of wood or something solid so you can then bolt the entire assembly to wall studs. Putting a speedbag in drywall or plaster will last about 2 minutes before it pulls out.

all put up, seems pretty solid, used sum huge ass rawl plugs and nice long screws so shud me ok... but we'll see... watch me have it off the wall by 2night lol

[SupergeZ]

got the bag inflated, had a bash and can keep a basic rhythem with both hands or each hand individually, gona take alot of practice to get good tho and sum better equip! but this will do untill ive mastered the basics

[Kyle]

its not bad, will last me untill i get round to custom building a new platform

the drum is about 3/4 of an inch thick... i just need a sand bag for the top and a new swivel because the 1 suppied only likes going back and forth lol

[Kyle]

sound solid and sound like the chain link swivel im not a fan of that type of swivel either. and sand is always a good idea

thats the swivel it comes with, all plastic bar the metal bolt... and it doesnt go sideways very well meaning i can only hit it properly forward and back! cant wait for a new 1

[Kyle]

looks like the deluxe swivel (http://store.titleboxing.com/dps-ez.html) but all plastic never seen that before

yeah its a crazy swivel this came with, i dont like the fact it doesnt go sideways though, so think im gona get a ball hook swivel and see how i go with that... getting alright with half a days practice, can do basic rhythems pretty quickly and accurately, and am now able to incorperate the odd elbow successfully

and am now able to incorperate the odd elbow successfully

What is this odd elbow you speak of? Sounds odd...

[SupergeZ]

i can like keep a rhythem going... then hit it with my right elbow and when it rebouds hit it with the right and and get the rhythem going again if you catch my drifft, for example..... left, right, left, right elbow, right , left, right, left, right elboy, right, left etc etc

so i can incorperate elbows into the rhythem which i dont think is to0 bad for my first nights trying

ill try and do a video for you tomorrow to show you what i mean and stick it on the tube.

[BillyMack]

Nice! I think I understand what you mean...definitely post a vid when you have the chance...

[SupergeZ]

will do matey, only have a pretty poor webcam as you can tell by the pictures, but ill try my best to get one up tomorrow! :)

You COULD have the bag go sideways by stepping to the side slightly to alter your body position, and just hit sideways. I know a guy that purposely could change the chain link swivel mechanism to go either front-to-back or just sideways. Here is a video of that... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-AmIocccAg). The direction of bag movement was really dependent on how he set this chainlink swivel. He sent me this video to demonstrate his swivel adaption.

thinking of ordering the ball hook swivel, its on sale for less than a pound and it looks pretty good tbh... limited stock tho

they also sell some pretty cheap kettle bells, might pic one of those up aswell

[jaguiler]

is it mounted to wall studs ? meaning the verticals inside the wall ? or is simply mounted to the sheetrock/drywall ? Take Chris's advice, and mount it to a board, then mount the board to the verticals in the wall...then put a 50 lb sandbag on top.... then you have no need to upgrade your equipment - it will be steady enough.

[SupergeZ]

its a thin chipboard platform lol, trust me it needs upgrading pretty soon... and no its just mounted into the exterior brick wall in my bedroom, currently designing a new setup which im gona build myself which will be made of a thick hardwood drum and box steel frame, which im considering making adjustable
