The Best Bag I have Ever Owned

I was involved in some form of martial arts for almost sixteen years of my life, and I can honestly say this Wavemaster bag is the best item I have ever owned. It is easy to use, easy to move around from one location to another (as long as it is not up and down stairs), and very durable. I have owned the bag for over ten years and it is just now starting to wear out a little. If your looking for a great bag to beat on, this is it. You will easily get your money's worth out of this product.

It's okay, but not as good as a hanging bag

I think the best option is an old-fashioned hanging bag, but I've recently moved to an apartment complex. I don't think the landlord would like me hanging a 100lb bag in my living room, so I opted for a freestanding bag.

First I bought the Everlast Freestanding Heavy bag. The bag has a flex-spring thing in the middle that absorbs some of the punching power. This makes the bag recoil from a punch and it lets you do some very nice combinations. However, the bag still slides around my carpet, and I constantly needed to move it back to the middle of the room.

Unfortunately the design of the equipment is very bad. The metal upper half (the part you punch) is connected to the plastic lower half by 2 metal bolts. I worked out on the bag for about 10 minutes and the bolts were loose. I tightened the bolts and started again...for about 10 more minutes. This process repeated several times before I saw that the metal bolts were digging into the plastic base. I returned the bag to the store and I purchased the Wavemaster Freestanding Heavybag.

The design of the Wavemaster is one solid piece, so there should be any trouble with metal parts wearing out the plastic. Since the wavemaster is one solid piece, it doesn't have the recoil feature that the Everlast did. THis makes the combo punches feel more awkward. Also, when you hid it hard, it tips backward and it slides around worst than the Everlast did. The tipping and landing after each punch is annoying (probably more so to my downstairs neighbor though).

The idea of a freestanding bag is attractive to a renter or someone with limited space, but in reality they arent that good. This is especially noticeable if you're used to working out with hanging bags.
