Hi,
Firstly I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Dan I'm based in England. I have been boxing on and off for 10 years or so. My favourite apparatus is the speedball. Pleased to meet everyone :-D
I am wanting to put up a speedball in my garage and have my eye on these two. Each has something that bugs me a bit so I'm looking for some opinions.
Firstly I used to use one like this at the boxing gym.
The frame is steel and heavy duty, its a sturdy box design with a really nice thickness to the drum. I imagine it would be super sturdy with no vibration, which is what I'm after. Unfortunately other than the description theres no dimensions or pictures. And no other company sells them. I'm not sure if there would be enough clearance in my garage as the frame seems quite tall. I'm also 6ft 5" so I would need to have it quite high.
The other option is this
Adjustable platforms are handy but they always seem to vibrate more than a sold frame. This is my biggest issue. Convenience over sturdiness.
ALso the price seems quite expensive. If I pay this much I don't want to add a bag of sand on top!
I will be using this speedball
Extra small size 5x8"
Any insight into either of these platforms or general opinions would be great. I can't afford to get this wrong.
Kind regards
Dan
