7 inches in length 25 inches in length. The spring has a diameter of 1. It's around 5 inches, but it's more like 1. At the hooks, the rug measures 75 inches wide. To get it to stretch at all, you'll need around 70 pounds.
No, it's completely open on both ends. To keep the bag from slipping out of the spring enclosure during intense training, I had to zip tie the bog rings together.
Physically, I believe it is not possible. It's a very narrow opening. 1 centimeter / 0.001 inch 39inches. When you punch and kick the bag, the heavy bag will move from side to side, and the spring will follow. The force you apply, as well as the weight of the bag, will keep the beg firmly attached to the spring's hook. The bag will not be able to escape.
I can't say I can help because I used this spring to hold a 100-pound weight. bag in the way it's supposed to be used That's something I can only do if you're 100 pounds or heavier. It does not stretch unless it is used, at which point it will take some stress and stretch a little. In my case, it helps to isolate noise from joists in the ceiling to the rooms above. If I were to do it again, I would use a slightly lighter weight spring. I hung it from the current spring and stretched it just enough to use it in my project. The spring is 7 1/4" long from hook to hook and 1 1/2" wide, so it's a big, heavy spring. I hope this has been of assistance.
Selected User Reviews For Ringside Boxing Training Heavy Duty Bag Spring (Up to 150-pounds), gray
While it appears to be small in the photos, this spring is extremely durable and ready to use. I was concerned about its size and the weight transfer from my 100-pound bag, but now that I've received it and installed it, I have no further concerns. I used it in conjunction with a ceiling mount because I needed something between the bag and the roof to help with inertia transfer. This spring had a significant impact. It also doesn't stretch or sag with use, and the curled openings on each end give me confidence that it won't "hop out" and fall on me.
This spring can support a bag that weighs a little more than 100 pounds (45 kg). 5kg). br>However, (it jumps around and squeaks) it is a very loud spring. So I used duct tape to wrap mine. It was made of paracord and it was fairly quiet. br>br>Overall, I like the spring, and it helps to reduce the heavy bag's jumpiness. P. br>br>P. br>br>P. br>br>P. Another concern I've seen expressed is that the spring's open end could result in a heavy bag flying out. That isn't going to happen this spring, in my opinion.
This device aids in the resistance of my bag to punches. I'm 33 years old and have been using this heavy bag since I was eight years old, so believe me when I say it hits hard. A must-have if you're hanging a heavy bag!.
Ringside did send a replacement, but it was virtually identical to the original. If you intend to kick the bag or punch hard, I strongly advise you to use a closed end spring instead. br>br>I'll update after I speak with Ringside, but for now, this gets a one-star rating. I do a lot of kickboxing and have tried just about every product out there. The issue I'm having with this spring is that one of the ends is way too short; either the bag chains won't stay on it, or if I flip it, it flies off my swivel if I hit it hard enough. It has to be a defective spring. It appears that a portion of the enclosure hook has been removed. This isn't the same as the heavy bag springs I've previously purchased.
In terms of the effect it has on the bag's movement, the spring is excellent. When hit, the bag bounces almost instead of swinging, which, in my opinion, makes for a better workout because the bag's movement is less predictable (I have a 100 lb. following a strike to the bag) My issue is that I'm using a stand that's only 7' tall to begin with (which is entirely my fault). When I add this spring, the bag's position becomes far too low for my 6' height. It's a bummer because I like the difference the spring makes (and it's a big difference), but it prevents me from properly training because the top of the bag with the spring comes down to just above eye level. So, if you're considering purchasing this to use with a hanging bag suspended from an 8-foot ceiling, I strongly advise you to do so. Unfortunately, if you're a big guy with a big bag, this won't work for you.
I have a 100-pound heavy bag hanging from my ceiling, and I can attest that it is very effective and ideal for shock absorption. I used to have a lighter heavy bag, but I would not recommend it for heavy bags weighing less than 100 pounds. It's quite heavy, so if you have a lighter bag, you might want to consider smaller springs.
Initially, I thought that using a ringside 150 spring for a 100 bag would be better, but I discovered that the heavier duty spring did not expand well enough to handle much of the force. I would strongly recommend a 100 spring if you have a 100 bag. The 100 spring performs admirably under load, flexing and compressing nicely. There's no risk of the bag coming undone due to the spring's open ends.
It occurs to me that you might be able to get it. For my 70-pound heavy bag, this was exactly what I needed. It's a hefty spring, to be sure. Good buy. I realize you can get it for less money at Walmart.
