You started as a beginner with the free standing punching bag for your conditioning workouts. Your kicks and strikes have gained in velocity and force and you find that the water or sand which you used to weight your free standing punching bag is no longer keeping it on its “feet so to speak. You have graduated to the big leagues of the Heavy Punching Bag.
The Heavy Punching Bag will usually have less sway than the normal punching bags due in part to the extreme weight which is indicated by the title. When working out with any punching bag, in order to perfect your footwork you will want to have a punching bag that allows some sway. Too much sway though means that the punching bag will move back and forth, and with the continued momentum of the strikes and/or kicks it can cause the bag to go out of control.
This is when the Heavy Punching Bag is recommended for a intense and rigorous kicking and punching workout. If you are a hard hitter you should select a 60lb. or 70lb. punching bag. If you have graduated to the level of the extremely hard hitters, should use a 100lb. punching bag. The Heavy Punching Bags are designed to withstand frequent punishing impacts.
