 A Great Starter Kit, but needs a few upgrades May 21, 2007

This is a great value for the beginning boxer in your house. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the swivel that it comes packaged with. The one that's included is the most basic plastic swivel you can buy and after a few rounds of hitting the bag it would come unscrewed and end up getting punched across the room. I purchased the next step up in Everlast swivels for about $20 and the difference was instantly noticeable. Faster rebounds and a much more secure mount. You may also want to upgrade to a smaller bag after you get used to the one packaged with this kit. Oh, and one more thing, the kit comes with no lag bolts to mount it to a wall. I picked up 4 from the local hardware store for a few dollars, but I was surprised they weren't included like they were with the Everlast heavybag I also bought.
For everything you get in this kit, it is well worth the money and a great way to get started in boxing for a good workout or competitive sport.

I can't vouch for anything about assembling or using this item. But, when I checked the order to see if it was correct, the bag that was supposed to be black leather was instead a weird rubbery red bag. I thought I was paying this high price because there was a leather one included. I contacted Amazon and they were extremely helpful: Told me to send it back in and they'd send another one express shipping. I received the other one, and it turned out to be the same type of bag. So, I haven't checked the page to see if it has changed, but I wanted to let people know what they are going to be ordering if they decide to buy this product.

"Product Description"
24" Smoothly finished adjustable (6-3/4) wooden drum. Powder coated enamel brackets for superior durability. Hand wraps, Bag gloves. Leather speed bag with swivel, Jump rope.
This product is a great deal. It may be shipped with a vinyl speed bag even though it says leather. My package shipped with one mounting bracket and a chipped particle board. BUT IF THAT DOESNT HAPPEN TO YOU AND YOU RECIEVE WHAT IT SHOWS IN THE PIC, YOURE GETTIN A great DEAL.!!!
black handwraps instead of the tan ace bandages they send you would be nice for starters. and

The 6 piece set was more than I actuallly needed, but I didn't know where I was going to mount the speed bag and so I got the whole kit. The speed bag is really good quality and the swivel is better than I thought it was going to be. It is nice to have both the wrap and the gloves if you are a beginner because you may find that one suits you better than the other. I did not end up using the platform but the frame leads me to believe that it is very sturdy. The jump rope, ah, the jump rope is a nice touch and it is nice to have, but i's nothing special.
If you are looking for a fun and challenging arm workout the speed bag is a lot of fun to learn. It is not about punching something as hard as you can it is about controlling your punch. I like it, it's fun and it's a really good outlet on very bad days.

I bought this set (not from Amazon) and did not even get a chance to use it because the support brackets could not be tightened onto the mounting brackets on one side. It was too loose to use. Poor design or manufacturing. I think I'll get a more professional setup.
