Sports reviews of Century The Original Wavemaster Freestanding Training Bag
Customer Review: Understand What the Bag is For Before Buying It
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The "original" Wavemaster free-standing training bag is an older design, but it is still one of the top models available. The large base allows the bag to be hit with significant force without tipping, and the long center pole provides a target area up to a rough height of five and a half feet. The unpadded plastic base is resistant to damage, but can still be broken if accidentally kicked with too much force - an important aspect to realize, since this "no-kick" area is the first foot and a half of the device. The bag can be pushed/rolled into a corner when not in use, but be aware that it is somewhat difficult to move when completely filled. And, while this bag is especially good at absorbing the force of non-linear strikes (round kicks, hook kicks, hook punches), linear strikes that go UPWARD (non-thrusting front kick, grazing uppercuts) will tend to rip the padding from the glue/center that holds it in place, breaking the bag. Still, this is definitely one of the best models to get for the price (at the time of this writing, ranging between $100 and $135 depending on sales and shipping), and I highly recommend it.
But, is a free-standing bag for you? This type of bag IS NOT for everyone in every instance. A free standing bag...
- is NOT SILENT. If you live in an apartment building or have people living below you, THEY WILL HEAR/FEEL you striking this bag (just like a more traditional punching bag).
- is NOT IMMOVABLE. All bags move when struck - hanging bags, however, eventually swing back into position. The "give" this movement provides is a good thing, as anyone that has ever kicked a telephone pole or punched a brick wall can tell you. The bag provides significant resistance to strikes, but it can be knocked over or slid if struck with too much force or improper technique. Try working both sides of the bag during a workout in order to keep it in the same general place.
Make sure to keep these aspects in mind when considering your purchase.
Note: A "waterbed fill & drain kit" is an excellent purchase to go with this bag, as it allows the Wavemaster to be easily drained and filled (along with a hose) as needed. Most people will not be able to lift the Wavemaster when it is completely filled with water, so having a way to drain it (especially if you intend to move in the next year or so) is a must.
