Defective speedbag!

[Wizdom]

thanks for all the advice...i normally dont hit it as hard as i did in the video, i was attempting to get it moving quicker just for the cam.

they way the room is set up is why i was trying to hit it from the side but i guess i should chage it up also the bag hits the screw hanging down and i didnt think it was good for it but i may be able to switch it around..i put a pic below to show.

the swivel is a type 5 from the best swivel topic but it isnt plastic...all metal. and it does have the long hook like 5 does. http://www.speedbagforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14

i bought the stand with both the punching bag and the speed bag for $130 & i thought it was a good deal. im going to try your suggestions and let let you know how it works. thanks again for the advice.

im not sure what code you guys use to post pics and im not even sure they can be hotlinked from yahoo but ill try.

I've recently picked up an annoying "buzzing" rattle sound in my home wall unit model 400. Not sure why, buy the left side area rebounds set off a deep buzzing sound that is annoying. All the bolts are tight, so I may need to that side loose a put a foam padding between the frame and board. I don't want to add any weight over the top, for it is a fairly heavy unit for a home inner wall.

That's pretty much what I had on my outdoor platform. http://www.ringside.com/DETAIL.ASPX?ID=24887

It made lot of racket and it was jumping up and down on the slider tubes, especially when on the front rebound. I noticed it didn't take much pressure with one hand to elimimate the noise so I went with the sandbag. I bought one of those sand filled tubes they sell at lowes for about $5.00. They sell them here in IL for people to put in their truck beds when it's icy out to promote traction. It weighs about 20 pounds or so, I'm guessing, definitely not more than 30, but it doesn't say on the bag. It's definitely less than a 45 pound plate at the gym. It really made a difference. I'll post a picture when I remember to get out the camera when it's daylight.

I highly recommend it for a cheap fix!
