Wrecking Ball Heavy Bag
$199.95 On Sale: each each

(1 customer review)

This item is not currently available for purchase.

Top quality Mexican boxing gear

Synthetic leather construction
Reinforced side hanger rivets for ensured quality
Circular bag design with solid foam density
Create unique strike combos unavailable to normal bag training
75 lbs
22" x 22"

The circular design of this heavybag was specifically designed to provide multiple target angles. It invites straight punches, hooks, uppercuts and everything in between. Its made of synthetic leather with reinforced side hanger rivets.

The Wrecking Ball is a perfect compliment to standard heavy bag practice as it allows for different angles and opportunities to strike. The weight of the ball makes it swing resistant and the density provides excellent durability and response to punches. Go ahead and sock this thing just as hard as you like.

Please excuse our lameness on this one - we've included the weight and dimensions in the description. The answer is 75lbs and 22" x 22".

We hope you'll take out your frustration on the wrecking ball itself and not our faces!

really beefy

If you've ever wanted the satisfaction of really laying into a bag, this kind of wrecking heavy ball is perfect. The round nature of the ball lets you use a greater variety of techniques than a typical heavy bag. Of course, if you use pushing techniques to the front there does tend to be a bit more sway. You also have to be careful not to punch or kick the chains and injure yourself. Overall its a great gym addition, although not a complete replacement for classic heavy bags. Permalink

What weight heavy bag should I get?

70lb-90lb bags are the most commonly purchased bags and are appropriate for adults in the 140-170lb weight range. These bags often provide the right blend of resistance and give.
For individuals who are 170+lbs or who have developed significantly increased punching power, you may want to shop for 100+lb bags.
Lighter bags in the 25lb-60lb range are great for children or smaller adults who are just starting out in their training regiment.
When deciding what weight to get, keep in mind that getting a bag that is a bit lighter will increase the sway and motion during your training. This can be beneficial if you are looking to improve your footwork and reactions. Heavier bags have a tendency to stay in place and are better for developing penetration power.

How do I hang up my heavy bag?

You will have two main options for hanging up your heavy bag - installing it into your ceiling or purchasing a mobile stand.
Many people who have garages or finished basements choose to install the bag directly into a support beam in their ceiling. To do this they either purchase a simple holder or attachment which can be securely fastened to the beam. This method is inexpensive, but it can also be troublesome due to the noise heavy bag training makes. If the beam the bag is attached to connects with the rest of the house, it might cause vibration and noise when struck.
The second option is purchasing a free stand. These steel constructed units can either be purposed solely for heavy bags, or involve multiple stations for different kinds of bags. It is recommended that users weight the bottom of the device to minimize shifting as the bag is struck and swung.

What kind of hand protection should I use?

It's important to use proper hand protection during training routines, especially if you are just starting out on the heavy bag. A combination of handwrap + bag glove is your best bet.
Handwrap is an an inexpensive cloth roll that is used to protect the knuckles and skin from abrasion while securing the wrist for repeated impact. Bag gloves are designed with extra padding and firm support in order to disperse the impact of strikes and reduce the strain on your joints. Different bag gloves have different thicknesses, and the sturdier the heavy bag the more padding you might want in your gloves.

Discuss this question >

What kind of bag exterior is best?

The main exterior types are vinyl, nylon, canvas, and leather. Other options include synthetic leather, polycanvas, and Everlast's Nevatear.
Professional gyms and locations that use heavy bags frequently choose leather bags for their superior durability and feel. Leather bags are more expensive and require that you rub moisturizer into them occasionally to prevent cracking. Vinyl, nylon, and canvas bags are less expensive and don't require maintenance, making them popular choices for at-home use. Canvas bags are durable but very abrasive against bare knuckles.
