Sports reviews of Century Wavemaster XXL Training Bag

Customer Review: Great free standing training bag
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I would love to have a typical ceiling hung training bag, but that does not work in our basement. I purchased this device along with a BOB. There are advantages to a free standing device, mainly that you don't have to tear your ceiling down and risk damaging your home with repetitive pounding of a heavy bag. A bag stand is cumbersome and is too dangerous when working kicks. Don't want to accidentally kick the metal post. Free standing bags can also be easily moved when necessary.

What I like:
1. Tall size. I'm over 6 ft tall. This bag is perfect. When using BOB, I have to have him up at the highest setting, then I can't work low kicks.
2. Soft padding. Much softer than a typical heavy bag, and is not rubbery like the BOB. After working with the BOB for a while, the skin on my knuckles are raw. The wavemaster is much more comfortable. My wife likes it much better than the BOB.
3. Seems pretty sturdy. Although I've only had mine for a few days, we have some in our Krav Maga class. They hold up well.
4. Plenty stable for us. When filled with water or sand, it's yet to tip completely over. It does tip a bit, then slam back down, making lots of noise unless you are in a basement.

As a previous reviewer noted, the bag shipped with a round, somewhat retro looking logo - not the larger logo as seen in the picture here. If I was to redesign this thing, I'd make the base larger in diameter and shorter. Would lead to a bit more stability.

For those deciding between this and the BOB, I'd say that the BOB makes a much better visual target, but the rubbery texture catches your glove. You'll feel much more fatigue in your knuckles, and your wrists. I'd recommend the wavemaster for frequent training.
