Hi i just ordered a polyform buoy (same as the aqua training bag but for half the cost)
It's 190lbs once filled with water.
My question is: do i need to buy a chain for it, or can i simply hang it up without it with an anchor, a carabiner, swivel and another carabiner?
Someone told me that without a chain, the bag will not move much and it will hurt my hands/joints a lot more.
But the bag is 190lbs and aqua bags tend to not move that much as is.
So is a chain necessary/recommended, or will it not make a difference?
I'm building my own heavy bag stand in the backyard. So if i had to buy 6x6 wooden beams that are anther 3ft higher to accommodate for the chain, the price will go up. Not to mention i'd have to buy the chain too, so it'd be around $80 more.
Thank you for reading.
Ps: The set up without a chain would look something like this:
