I bought A heavy bag and filled it myself... and i used Cut up strips of clothes, its working out great actually i mean it took me a while but never once have i hurt my wrist or my hand. And its the same weight to so im pretty sure it will help me develop punching power as one filled with sand would be. | |

![]() ![]() | I have a 110lb Thai bag that is definitely my utility bag. I also have a 25lb bag that I use as a headhunter type bag most of the time and I'll occasionally convert it to an uppercut bag by hanging it horizontally. I want to get a bodysnatcher bag so I can work the angled hooks, overhand rights, etc. with full power. The 300pnd canvas monster bags are tempting, but if I could only choose one bag and it was exclusively for boxing then I'd probably go with the body snatcher. It is heavy enough to give you some realistic resistance and its shape is versatile enough to allow you to practice any punch from any angle with aas much power as you can possibly generate. Make your bag softer by filling it yourself. I've used carpet padding against the wall of the bag with closth inside of that and then sand in the center. AND, as mentioned, wrap your hands. The Mexican style wraps are my favorite . . . no real explanation why, probably because they were my first wraps. I'd also suggest that you use some decent 16oz gloves for bag work.

![]() | Leather heavy bags and good gloves, leather bags are pricy but they last a long time. Water bags are total crap, they all end up leaking and their fell is not all that real and supportive. After you have hit on a good leather bag you want every like hitting on anything else, except your sparring partner . Super Bag gloves by ringside are the best gloves for bag work I feel; they add nice support to your wrist.I am a BIG fan of ringside products but for bags I only buy the top grade Everlast bags, they seem to last much longer I find and have a really nice feel. With most heavy bags its best to break them in a bit with a bat, losens them up a bit. |

![]() ![]() | Perhaps I use bags a little differnetly than I should; however, I really don't care what a bag feels like as long as I don't break anything while hitting it. My biggest problem is that when I hit something it moves. This prevents me from getting into a rhythym and working most combinations. I am attracted to one of the monster heavy bags (http://www.ambersports.com/extremebag.htm ) because when you hit them they don't run away from you. I also like the body-snatcher bags because they let you work multiple angles (http://www.ambersports.com/headbag.htm ) No single bag does everything I want it to do and "feel" takes a far distant second place to utility.

![]() | You want the bag to move, is your opponent going to stand there are move? Ok Mike you might have me , I will admit its been over 6 years since I have even been in a gym where there was a water bag. None of the gyms here in Jacksonville have them and when I was in Colorado Springs from 96 to 2001 there were none at the Training center there or at the World Class Athlete center at Fort Carson or the All Army Boxing. So I guess I can’t throw stones unless I have tried it. Do they have that natural body fill to them, all the ones I ever heard of or have been around leaked in no time. |

And I haven't had much time to work on the site. And speaking of Gorilla, I found out that I have the same wingspan of the silverback at the local zoo . . . he attacks the glass whenever I come in the observation area . . . which isn't too surprising since I'm only the second generation in my family to walk upright.
