Are heavy bag stands really that bad?

[Joe Rogan's Kettlebell]

Just found a stand that also has the attachment for a speed bag.

It's at my local used sports goods store for $70.

I'm moving my boxing equipment to my back room which has a ceiling but t doesn't have beams.

Is there a way to hang it on the ceiling with no beams? Or should I go with that stand?

This is the stand for reference

No beams at all?

Use a stud finder and invest in a heavy bag ceiling mount that absorbs shock. Personally, I would not spend $70 on that stand...

I'd get the shock or spider mount. It's double the cost, but well worth it, in my opinion. Especially if you plan on using the bag with regularity.

its a backroom with a different ceiling, no beams at all

I suppose if there is no real ceiling support, then you have no other option than to use a heavy bag stand or wall mount. (I'd prefer the wall mount to the stand, but I have never installed one.)

Heavy bag stands suck because:

They move, a lot, since there's 60-100+ pounds swinging from a pendulum in the middle.

The speed bag platform wobbles since it's stability is controlled by a hollow metal tube.

They limit the angles you can take on the bag. You're essentially attacking it either straight on or at best a 45 degree angle.

If you don't want them to move, you have to invest in more weights, and that could be another 50-100$.

How does the back room not have any beams? If it's got a roof, something has to be providing it stability and framing. Is it just a raised ceiling and you don't want to mess with the ceiling tiles?

Also, a wall mount is definitely your better option. Find a wall stud or get some damn good masonry anchors and have at it.
