Re: Advice on Heavy Bag @ Home for Training?
Ok, sorry…one last question. Anyone have experience with freestanding bags like the Wavemaster? Seems like these would be cleaner, etc.

I prefer the wavemaster myself. They are much easier on the hands and feet as they are considerably softer. However,keep your location in mind as moving them around can be hell on your floors. Have you considered BOB?

However,keep your location in mind as moving them around can be hell on your floors. Have you considered BOB?The Bob is interesting, but I want to be able to do low sidekicks as well as straight punching. The biggest complaints I’ve read about the Wavemaster are: 1) It moves when you hit it, even when filled with sand; and 2) It’s too soft. I want something that I can forecefully move into and out of a corner of the garage when I want to use it, but stable enough to sustain punches and not move around or tip. As far as the softness, I want something that is soft enough to kick, but hard enough to help develop more punch force. Something more firm than a pillow or foam. I hit/kicked against the heavy UFC bag at my local YMCA and it was great for punching but kicking it was like kicking a cement block at the bottom.
It sounds like since I require frequent base movement and have limited garage space, there is no great solution for me. I am determined to try to make a frame hanging muay thai bag work but we’ll see. To be continued….:(:. Thanks again for all input!

I will disagree on the Wavemaster. I think it is stable enough and I have gotten to the point where I avoid the XL MT bags like the plague. The ones in our gym are stuffed to the point they are like hitting and kicking a tree. If I ever get the room I will get a Glideboxx(or build one).

quote Caniac Nation:stable enough to sustain punches and not move around or tipTipping over is bad of course but the bag moving around when you hit it is a good thing. People don’t stand still and let you hit them in a fight — they bob, weave, shuffle, etc. I’ve only hit a Wavemaster (I think it was an XL) a couple of times but I liked it.

This is something like the heavy bag hanger I use. It mounts to the wall in my garage and let’s me swing the bag out of the way to make room for my car.

Not to resurrect a dead thread but after much deliberation, etc I decided to get a Century Bob xl. Picked up a like-new one from Craigslist for half price this weekend. I should have little more space in the garage than I thought so I’m probably going to also get a bag on a free-standing stand to supplement the Bob for more kicking, etc.:):
