Default Punching bags...

My punching bag fell down and I'm looking for a new one(the bag's fine but I think it's time for a better one)...

It should be a heavy bag.
It should also have some feedback telling me how hard I hit it(there should be a big difference in how much it moves or anything else between a medium punch and a hard punch).

And I'll need something to hang it on... What I was using now broke and I'd want to replace it anyway.

Also, my parents are worried about the joist breaking and causing the house to fall down, so they'll probably want to read about how safe/not safe it is to hang punching bags on ceiling joists.

They'll want some instructions on how to hang it up since they're not sure(my grandpa made the bag that fell down and I assume he installed the bolt).

If you think I should attach it to a wall/floor/stand, you could suggest that, but they're more expensive and space isn't an issue(except for the ceiling which is low).

I have some old small boxing gloves but I try to use just my hands(and vertical punches, which I hear are more safe).
