Any ideas how stable they are they? Is it essential to weigh them down with a few plates? Any idea of other places I should try in Australia (preferably Sydney)?
I have an everlast stand that is just perfect for kicking and punching. I have a 130lb bag and do not need to weigh it down. The ones that you are considering are good for just punching.
Why, you ask? The back is just to close to the bag. If you throw a donkey punch (kick) and you slip, your foot will just register pure pain as it hits steel!!
If you just need one to practice punching, then it is perfect, if for kicks and punching keep looking. Peace Out!
