Speed Ball Stand Sets — Kids & Adults

Speed ball sets are one of the best ways to get kids off the couch and moving — and they're a legit training tool for adults too. Our kids speed ball stand sets are adjustable from around 67 cm up to 125 cm depending on the model, so the stand grows as your child does. Each set comes with a speed ball, high-tension spring, sturdy base (fill with sand or water) and a pair of junior boxing gloves. Kids develop hand-eye coordination, upper body strength and timing while burning energy. Parents love them because they're easy to assemble, take up minimal floor space and keep children entertained for hours.

The adult speed ball stand set steps things up with a taller adjustable frame (up to 150 cm), a faster PU leather speed ball and a sturdier steel stand. The rhythm you develop on a speed ball carries directly into your boxing — faster hands, sharper timing, better shoulder endurance for keeping your guard up when your arms get heavy. It's the kind of workout that doesn't feel like a chore because you're focused on the rhythm rather than counting reps.

All our speed ball sets include gloves, so you've got everything you need in one box.

Freestanding Punching Bags

A freestanding punching bag is the fastest way to set up a striking station at home without drilling holes in the ceiling. Fill the base with sand or water, and you've got a stable target for jabs, crosses, hooks and body shots. They're ideal for renters, apartments, garages and any space where a hanging bag isn't practical. When you're done, you can shift it against the wall or into a corner. Our freestanding bags suit beginners working on basic combinations through to regular trainers building power and cardio endurance.

Heavy Punching Bags

For trainers who want the real thing, a hanging heavy bag delivers authentic swing and feedback that a freestanding bag can't fully replicate. When you land a clean shot on a heavy bag, you feel it through your whole body — and that feedback teaches you to punch through the target rather than just at it. Our heavy bags come in various sizes (including 90 cm and 100 cm options) and are built with durable outer shells and dense fill. You'll need a ceiling bracket anchored into a joist or beam, or a dedicated bag stand. Heavy bags are the backbone of any boxing gym — home or commercial.

Boxing Gloves

Several of our boxing sets come with gloves included, but if you're training regularly, a good standalone pair makes a difference. For bag work and pad sessions, 10 oz–12 oz gloves give you speed and feedback. 14 oz is the sweet spot for general training. 16 oz is the go-to for sparring — extra padding protects both you and your partner. Look for gloves with solid wrist support, a breathable liner and padding that's spread evenly across the knuckles.

Buying Tips — What to Know Before You Order

• Speed Ball Height – Set the platform so the fattest part of the ball sits at roughly eye level. For kids' sets, start at the lowest setting and raise it as they grow and their technique improves. Tighten the swivel regularly — a loose swivel kills the rebound rhythm.
• Filling the Base – Sand is heavier and more stable than water. If you're using a speed ball or freestanding bag on a hard floor, sand stops the base from shifting during harder combos. Water works fine on carpet or rubber matting, and it's easier to drain if you need to move the stand.
• Freestanding vs Hanging Bag – Freestanding bags win on convenience and portability. Hanging bags win on feel and resistance. If you've got the ceiling structure and don't mind drilling, a hanging bag is hard to beat. If not, a freestanding bag still gives you a solid workout.
• Mounting Heavy Bags – Use a load-rated bracket and anchor into ceiling joists or a structural beam. Add a heavy bag spring between the chain and bracket to absorb shock. Never mount into plasterboard alone — it will fail and it won't be pretty.
• Kids' Sets as Gifts – Our kids speed ball sets are consistently one of the most popular gifts for active children. They arrive in one box, assemble in minutes, and reviewers regularly mention kids using them daily. Great for birthdays, Christmas or just getting them off the screens.

Boxing Equipment FAQs

What's included in a speed ball stand set?

Each set comes with the stand (steel frame with adjustable height), a speed ball made from PU leather, a high-tension spring, a base you fill with sand or water for stability, and a pair of boxing gloves. Kids' sets include junior-sized gloves. Everything you need is in the box — no extra purchases required to start training.

What age are the kids' speed ball sets suitable for?

The standard kids set adjusts from 67 cm to 115 cm, and the large kids set goes from 90 cm to 125 cm. Most kids from about age 4 or 5 upwards can use the standard set comfortably, and the height range means it grows with them for several years. Reviewers mention kids aged 5 to 10 getting daily use out of them. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children.

Sand or water in the base — which is better?

Sand is heavier and keeps the base more stable, especially on hard floors during heavier hitting. Water works well on carpet or rubber flooring and is easier to empty if you need to move the stand. For kids' sets, water is usually fine. For adult speed ball stands and freestanding punching bags, sand gives you more stability during harder combinations.

Freestanding or hanging heavy bag — which is better for a home gym?

Depends on your space and how seriously you train. Freestanding bags are brilliant if you're renting, don't want holes in the ceiling, or need to move the bag between sessions. Hanging bags swing and absorb shots more naturally — they feel closer to hitting a real target and most experienced fighters prefer them. You'll need either a ceiling joist or beam to bolt into, or a dedicated heavy bag stand. If you've got the room and the mounting option, go with a hanging bag. If not, a freestanding bag still gives you a solid workout.

What glove weight should I choose?

Most people start with 10 oz–12 oz for bag work and fitness-style boxing. If you're doing a mix of bags, pads and light partner drills, 14 oz gives you decent padding without feeling like you're swinging pillows. Sparring usually calls for 16 oz — check with your coach or gym, because some clubs have strict rules. For sizing, measure your hand circumference over your wraps and compare to the brand's chart.

How do I mount a hanging heavy bag at home?

You'll need a ceiling bracket rated for the weight of your bag (plus the force of your strikes — a 30 kg bag can generate well over 100 kg of peak load on the mount), a heavy bag spring to absorb shock, and coach screws or through-bolts long enough to bite into a joist or beam. Never mount into plasterboard or drywall alone. If your ceiling structure isn't suitable, a heavy-duty freestanding bag stand is the safest alternative. Check all fixings and give the bag a solid pull-test before your first session.

Are speed ball sets good for fitness and weight loss?

Absolutely. Working a speed ball is a surprisingly intense upper body and cardio workout. You're constantly moving your arms, shoulders and core to maintain rhythm, and most people find their heart rate climbs quickly — even in short 3-minute rounds. It's low impact on your joints compared to running, and because you're focused on the ball rather than watching a timer, sessions tend to fly by. Combine speed ball rounds with some basic footwork drills and you've got a solid home cardio session.
