FREESTANDING HEAVY BAG

RevGear Freestanding Heavy Bag

Go to Low Priced RevGear Bag

This is a good bag with good reviews. Just like all freestanding kicking bags it is convenient and can be rolled in the corner.

But how good is the bag?

Well, we found reviews giving it a 5 of 5, so I looked into it.

It is a great bag, but I feel there are better. Like Century's bags it is made of high impact foam, with a durable vinyl cover. The base can be filled with water or sand.

Negatives:

The weight in the bottom of this base is 120 pounds. Century's freestanding heavy bag is 270 pounds, so this base is not as sturdy.

The bag will hold up. The bag will work, but if you have a lot of power I'd go with the Century Wavemaster instead.

Dimensions:

It is 56" in height and 16" in diameter. Century's is 18" in diameter.

Recommendations

This is a great bag. The only negative is the base could be a little heavier. This bag though will hold up to strikes and be a good addition to your martial arts equipment.

It is good for some heavy striking, but for a professional or elite athlete it may not be heavy enough on bottom.
