Buying a heavy bag

Buy a heavybag

Get a speedball fitted on the wall

Get a floor to ceiling ball

Just get good quality equipment.............

Not shitty cheap equipment because they bust easy

I had a speedball for years and it finally worn out

Then I bought a cheap one and it bust in a week

Spend that bit extra - and you will save in the long run

 

hsng a full size replica of enzo macc up.

Hit that it should fall down after the first jab

 

I had my speedball from a shop up in Cardiff that specialises in Boxing Equipment

The bloke who runs the shop told me Naz popped in before the Steve Robinson fight to buy some boxing boots

Years ago

I live in Swansea - about 50 miles away from Cardiff - so only been back on fo there a handful of times over the years - to see Calzaghe and Enzo fight, etc.

Back at the time in the 1990's I was boxing over the club at the time and really in my training

So I went up to cardiff and bought a speedball and the backboard to fit on the wall

the speedball lasted years

and then finally worn out

so I bought a £20 from Argos - bust in a week

and I bought another £20 from Argos - bust in a month or so

****ing ****

I went back up to cardiff only recently to the same shop and bought a new Speedball for £40 - a Lonsdale one

So far so good

Word of advice - dont buy BBE equipment that Argos sell - not speedballs or heavybags - or floor to ceiling balls - they are ****ing cheap **** :dead

 

I ordered a good floor to ceiling ball from the back of Boxing Monthly before too

What I'm saying is standard places like Argos - just sell cheap ****

You got to go to the boxing specialists to get the good quality

You can order stuff off Boxing Monthly - good quality suppliers

 

Have a look at the sticky in the training forum

 

The make of the floor to ceiling I got is called

PRO-TEC

its lasted years I had from about 1999 / 2000

 

i just get the stuff i can and it lasts

i have a Bryan floor to ceiling from argos and it is in top nick had it for 2 years

got a 3 in 1 bag from the lonsdale website and its good aswell

 

Everlast I consider a decent make too

I had boxing gloves that are Everlast and have been well worn

 

RBK is pretty good

dont buy gloves from sports direct/world there cheap shite

 

PRO-TEC make small and normal sized floor to ceilings - they cater for real pro's and they are quality

 

i wa sthinking of buying a bag too . what height would be good for a beginner?

 

Flint was only slagging the Argos stuff because he hits a lot harder than you

 

:roll:

Dont listen to him

He is just **** stirring

Bryan are OK

Its BBE that bust

And heavybags are more durable than Floor to ceiling balls and Speedballs which can get punctures.
