Wave Master Punching bag

[orion82698]

Anyone have this? I bought one last night from a sports store. I filled the thing to where the bag starts with water. Now, I swear, I'm no boxer, but I was beating that thing around my basement floor. I was putting it into corners. I thought that thing with that much water wouldn't move. What gives? Should I fill it up the rest of the way? Should I use sand instead? I'm kinda iffy on sand, because water I can syphen out, sand.... that thing is going to be a pain to get it back upstairs.

Any ideas? It wasn't that expensive, and I still have the receipt, but it was the floor model, so I don't know if they'll take it back. I wanted a real bag, but I don't have drop cellings, and the idea of drilling into my celling and sinking a bolt to hold a 100lb bag.... well... scares the crap outta me

Use sand. I have one filled with water and some sand at my dojo and I blast that thing off it's base (with a subsequent mess on the mats....). When we got the other one we filled it up with sand, and that ones like a rock.

Will do. Now the crappy thing is, I have to get all the water out

Did you use just sand, or water too?

Use a small aquarium pump, or a siphon (so?) attachment for draining a waterbed.

IMPO bags that have a base suck. If possible, invest in a hanging bag.

I would, but I don't have a drop ceiling. It's all dryway, and it's stuck'o

I'll probably just try sand.

I would try putting a piece of mat that is used for area rugs to keep them from sliding aroun the floor.

Yes one of our schools has one of those and they move really bad with water even filled all the way..so yeah i would try sand..GOOD LUCK!
