DripexFreestanding Punching Bag, Heavy Boxing Bag with Stand for Adult Youth - Men Standing Boxing Punch Bag for Home Gym Workout

I want to first start with the customer service. I first recieved a damaged bag. You can tell by the way the box was damaged that it was damaged during shipping. I messaged the seller and within minutes I had a reply. I sent them a few pictures of the deformed bag and of the box. Right away they told me they would send me a replacement. I recieved the replacement within two days of messaging them. By far the best customer service I have ever dealt with. 5 stars!!Now let’s review the bag itself. I have a wavemaster in the yard. The wave master is very bulky and even when filled with water it moves around a lot. I had purchased a heavy bag but the space I am using in the basement is very small and with low ceilings. This bag was perfect for the space! It has the perfect size and height. The suction cups on the bottom are amazing! It didn’t work on the gym mat, but I cut a hole out and the suction cups hold it pretty steady on tile. It was able to take strong kicks and punches without moving from its place. I was extremely impressed. I filled the base with sand. It took 2 60lb bags of play sand. The sand gave it a more stable foundation. The sand plus the suction cup, the bag is not moving no matter how hard you strike it. Only thing was the size funnel I had made it a tad difficult to get the sand in quickly. It took me about 20 minutes to get it in. Which is not bad for the sturdiest portable bag.Putting the base together with the bag was the simplest part. The easiest and fastest installation. It was very straightforward and the one tool needed was provided. I give this item 5 stars. I would highly recommend purchasing it. The price is also low in comparison to other products that do the job. You can’t beat the price, the customer service, and the quality of the bag. Don’t waste another second debating it!! Make your purchase!

Summary:I'm not a prize fighter by any means. I'm just a guy that likes to hit the bag for exercise. Overall, this is a good bag that looks to be very durable. I hit the bag pretty hard, and it seems like it will last. It took some time to assemble, but they give you everything you need except sand. I have a smooth floor, but it's concrete and probably not the best surface for suction cups to attach. However, they do attach somewhat. I am used to hitting a 100 pound hanging bag which has a wider diameter. This bag is narrower and you have to hit it more carefully so you don't bend and injure your wrists. I recommend this bag for exercise. Since I'm not training to actually fight, I can't speak to how good it is for that application.Details:-You will need DRY sand. I got mine at Home Depot near the bags of concrete - don't get it from the nursery because that's wet sand you'll never get it into the base. I put about 140 pounds of sand in the base.-Get a good funnel that has a wide opening on the top and bottom. The bigger the openings, the faster the sand filling will go. It's a pain, but necessary.-This bag is ideal if you have smooth floors for the suction cups, unless you're not a hard hitter. Even with the suction cups sorta working on my floor, I can still knock the bag over.-The bag itself is harder/firmer than I expected. You'll need decent gloves. I have some worn 14oz gloves that work ok. I haven't tried my 8oz MMA gloves, but they should be ok.

This punching bag arrived on time as mentioned in my order. The base arrived much earlier than expected, while the bag arrived on the first day of the "arrives between" dates. If you do decide to fill the base with sand (which is almost unanimously recommended across the internet), you will definitely need to get a funnel in order to get all the sand in and minimize spills. Also, some on other sites have suggested using Playground Sand, but I find Multipurpose Sand is much easier to work with. Though it does get very dusty in the air and can get into your airways, so wearing a mask while doing that is strongly encouraged.In terms of the bag itself, it holds up very well to punches and kicks. I filled mine with 150 lbs of sand. It does wobble when struck, but not enough to be an issue. The assembly was very easy and straightforward such that I didn't really need the instructions. When striking it I do notice that when I hit it hard enough, there's a slight divot in the surrounding area where I made contact. However, this goes away if striking more than just that single area. If striking just that area for precision, the divot does not appear to get any worse.The one issue I find with this bag is in its description the words "noise reduction" and "noiseless" were used. As with the way sound works, things like this will always produce some noise. For me, I struck this with pulled-back punches in the downstairs of my house, and my parents claimed they could definitely hear it through the floor in the upstairs of the house while they were watching TV.Besides all that, this bag is of great quality. It holds up very well, easy to assemble, and is at an affordable price compared to other bags.

Literally no complaints at all honestly, love this product. I feel that it conditions my legs (to an extent, I have very sensitive chins) and in general it does exactly what you want, it’s good for practice. I have bad wrist from boxing so when I went to MMA I wanted to get something that was a bit more relaxed on it, and I think this is the product for that. I think it leaks a slight amount so I’d advise you to put this outside, for the money you spend on it, it’s definitely worth the price. I only filled it with water and its able to fight pretty well against my hits, of course you can’t bang out with it like a heavy bag but it still allows you to practice and if you fill it with sand I’m sure it’s MUCH heavier. The weighting is good
