How do I stop a wall mounted punch bag from swinging so much?

I have a wall mounted punch bag but it often hits the wall when I practice crosses. Aside from the wear and tear on the bag, the swing also puts a load on the fitting.





The bag has a ring at the bottom so presumably I can buy a fitting to hang weights from it or attach it to the floor. Anybody know where I can get such a fitting?|||I believe there's a bungee-type rope that auto returns the bag to the perpendicular position. It should hook into the ring you're mentioning. My heavybag stand has hooks at the bottom so you can bungee the bag to the base, and reduce sway. Why can't you punch the bag from an angle in which it won't hit the wall?|||My bag was filled with cloth when I bought it and I had the same problem so I filled the whole thing with sand. This made it real heavy but I found out that punching sand is not good for your joints and it doesn't absorb the impact very well so I filled it with saw dust instead which absorbs punches well and has less swing, so do that.|||How about a heavier bag sounds to me like your punching a pillow,i can kick the doors of a 69 caddy|||i think you have the answer in you question other then that i surgest you try tapping it more gentle good luck |||buy a heavier bag.|||do wat you have to do|||forget about it. go to a boxing gym, get a trainer, and work out there 5 times a week|||loosen her handcuffs
