Dripex Freestanding 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.

Mostly solid punching bag. The only reason for 4/5 is that the suction cups are not to strong. It may be our epoxy floor though. Overall a great addition to your home gym. Good quality!

Set up was easy. Filling it with sand was a pain. After filling it. I put the bag to the test, 10 rounds / 3 min each. And here is the pro and cons.Pro - The bag is made from some durable material so wear your gloves. It moves around a bit, but i prefer it this way as it mimics an opponents head movement if they were to weave. I am a power hitter, so even with sand, it tip over a few times. So i threw my 25lb vest+200lb sand it didn't' tip over anymore. I like the narrow bag, it helps with precision punch's.Con - Just the sand..

The bag does arrive in two separate packages delivered at different times. One of my packages were unfortunately lost in transit but the sellers were very helpful in reissuing me another one. The bag’s suction cups work better than I thought they would and assembly is easy. Would probably last you a year or so judging from other reviews. Would recommend

Had this for over 3+ years, the suction cups, some broke due to massive blows, which is a given. Still sturdy with the weight of water. Downside, the water stopper leaks when being hit really hard but still gives great perfomance.
