Assembly

Once assembled it is a good product. Assembly will try the patience of the Saints. With 3 of us, all adults, trying we were never able to assemble as directed. The 1st thin piece of foam was too big around if you taped the seam flat. The 2nd piece wouldn't go in with the 1st piece in place. After 30 minutes of frustration we put the 2nd piece (the solid round piece) in first then cut the tape from the 1st piece and put it in against the round piece leaving about 4''-6'' of foam extending out of the opening. We then put in the 3rd piece and after warming the bag in front of the fireplace managed to stretch it out until the ends butted against each other as they were supposed to. The 4th piece, funny shaped, went in relatively easy compared to the others. We then folded over the piece of foam that was extending from the end and zipped it close, pushed the sleeve inside and inserted it over the pole. I definitely recommend warming the bag before you start. Good Luck, I was ready to box it up and send it back to the store before rearranging the instructions a little. And yes, I did read them!

Good Item For the Price

Considering the cost, I think this product is worth your consideration. I've used it for a few months at full capacity and haven't had any trouble with leaking or breaking at the neck.

The assembly, however, is a bit tricky. Fitting all the pieces in the bag and in the proper fashion takes some creativity and patience. Permalink

Update on Assembly

I couldn't stand looking at it so I took it apart and started from scratch. Here's the secret--you leave 6-8 inches of the inner thin foam sticking out of the bag when you start to insert the big piece of solid foam that ends up being the top. That way when you have to shove the solid foam in, it pulls the 6-8 inches of the thin foam with it leaving you with a perfect assembly. Somebody should have put that in the instructions. Somebody also should have mentioned there are tabs you have to line up on the first collar you screw down which are probably obvious, but I missed it first time around. You can't hit this like you would a heavy bag and if you put it together yourself, you should know that. It's a good workout, but not for working on your power punch. Permalink

thanks for your info. if you can't fill it yourself so that you can hit the bag with your all how then do you get it filled? do you use a hose to fill it? it sounded pretty difficult to get it filled corretly. i was planning on getting it for my husband for his birthday which is next month. any advice would be helpful. would a hanging one in the garage be better? we live in houston so not sure now much heat punching/kicking in the garage (even with door open) will be tolerable with heat. thanks again for your help.

Piece of junk

I set it up and used it for about 5 minutes and it broke in the middle. If you fill it with water it also leaks. Don't buy. It's a waste of money. It may be okay for children under 10. Permalink

DO NOT BUY

This bag broke after I threw a straight right. I study krav maga and we are taught the explode with the hips and pivot into punches....I had this bag for a week before it broke...the flex collar snapped and the bag is now useless. I am not a big guy...in fact I am rather skinny (6'2, 165lbs). I recommend getting a wavemaster. Permalink

Kick boxing kills this product!

I loved this bag until from my relentless kicks broke the plastic section that goes from the adjuster to the base. It was glued together and never, ever will withstand serious blows from anyone with any strength. As far the concept is its excellent, too bad the manufacturer chose to build it so cheaply! Everlast should get serious and build this product with a long term approach to the life of the product. Permalink

Nice beginner bag

I've had this bag for a couple of months now and for a free standing bag it's pretty good.

Putting together the top portion is an exercise in itself and you are going to need patience, you put several sections of foam together to form one piece, it's fun trying to make them all fit...

For those worried about filling the bottom portion with water (and having it leak) I ended up stuffing 3 sand bags in it, I think they were about $2 or $2.50 a piece at HomeDepot and keep it pretty stationary. Though it really depends on how hard you are going to hit it.... Permalink

What kind of standing bags are there?

Within the standing bag genre there is an excellent variety of options for you to choose from. The most common freestanding bag consists of a fillable plastic basin with an adjustable neck protruding from the top. Attached to that neck is a soft foam filled bag that feels a lot like a traditional nylon heavybag.
A different variety of bag involves a full-body-length striking surface that is secured to the basin and is non-adjustable. Much different than those two types is the B.O.B. (body opponent bag). This device is shaped like the upper torso of a man and can be used to focus strikes on different anatomical parts of the human body. These are excellent for anyone looking to increase their accuracy and strike selection.
The final type of freestander available is the reflex bag. This is much smaller than a heavy bag and requires much less weight to stay in place. The point of this bag is not to develop punching power, but to acquire rhythm, timing, and fluidity.

Discuss this question >

Do I need to fill the base? If so, with what?

For most freestanding bags you will need to fill the basin yourself. Sending the base empty reduces shipping cost significantly.
The two most common types of fill used in bag basins are plain water and sand. Water is quick, free, and can be dumped out whenever you need to pack up the bag and move it to a different location. Every basin is built to be waterproof (unless explicitly stated otherwise). Sand is a reliable alternative as you needn't worry about liquid spills or leaks even after extensive wear and tear.

Discuss this question >

Will my freestanding bag slide around?

Freestanding bags are generally designed to resist sliding and skidding during training. However, there are some things you can do to ensure maximum stability for your bag. First, fill the basin to it's proper amount and maintain that level as time goes by. If you've chosen to fill it with water, the water might evaporate slowly which will cause the bag to slip easier. Second, place the bag on a grippy surface. Even the best of bags might slip on slick concrete. Third, if you wish, you can purchase an extra non-slip cover that fits around the basin of your bag.

Discuss this question >

Short body vs long body type bags

When it comes to heavy bag style freestanders, there are two main styles - the short body and the long body. Short body bags are frequently adjustable and can be made to fit the height of the practitioner using it. Boxers enjoy the smaller striking surface because it provides them greater flexibility and feedback, which allows them to integrate an element of rhythm into their training, much like they might do with the swinging of a standard heavy bag.
The long body bag is preferred by martial artists and kickboxing practitioners that want to integrate kicking into their routine. The length of the striking surface allows them to use both punches and kicks without having to constantly adjust the striking surface.
