How To Make a Boxing Spar Bar - Pro Version

Image
10-Step Instructions: Get a ball - basketball is best. Also get a plunger, remove the handle and tape it onto the ball with duct tape. This can be screwed onto the top of your spar bar to help dampen vibrations and for light punches. Get a pair of ball bearings roughly 1 inch internal diameter and 2 inches external diameter. You can get a 2-pack of the exact bearings that I use on Amazon US here:  https://amzn.to/34eLo7r or from Bunnings in Australia:  https://www.bunnings.com.au/richmond-47-x-25-x-12mm-rubber-sealed-precision-ball-bearing-pack-of-2_p0103240 Get a PVC pipe Tee or Cross junction into which your ball bearings will fit. Size will depend on the size of your ball bearings - for the bearings above, I'm using a 40mm Cross junction which has an internal diameter of roughly 48.3mm (eBay:  https://ebay.us/ld0S6e or Bunnings link:  https://www.bunnings.com.au/holman-40mm-press-pvc-plain-tee_p3142376 ). Tape around each ball bearing to ensure a tight fit into the Tee
