    Prime Fighter Pro Speed Bag / Heavy Bag Adjustable Wall Mount Model 500

    Hi, guys and gals,

    Anyone have any experience with this platform? Looks pretty sturdy, and accomodates 16 and 24 inch spacing.




    Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

    Looks a nice unit Bruce!! pretty much like the Everlast adjustable one but with a thicker drum and steel mounts instead of wood, looks like a good buy.

      Haven't used it, so I can't say for sure, but if you mention you are a forum member you will get a 15% discount on it.

        Yes I have used it. Scroll down this page and you'll see me in front of it when I visited the factory where they are made in Noel Missouri. I like it OK, however it adjusted by chains going down inside the tubes and rattled a lot when you punched. I think they have now adapted that to use a cable. Call them and talk to them. They are great folks and can probably modify a unit for however you need. Randy is his name.

          Thanks for the feedback, Alan. Perhaps the 200 series non-adjustable platform might be a better buy for me since I'm the only one who uses it. Thanks again.

            Will you be wanting to use different size bags? Maybe change to a swivel with a different rebound arc/bag height?

            Adjustable platforms sure are nice.

              Hell, good point... Didn't think about different sized bags and/or swivels. I was thinking that I wasn't getting any taller... *chuckle*


              Respect the Bag!

                Also you never know when a family member, friend, or other acquaintance may want to give it a try. I would not ever buy another non-adjustable platform for those reasons.

                  I would respectfully disagree. I suggest a board with at least some adjustment built in, for different bag sizes or baggin' buddies joining you later.
