How heavy should a punch bag be for me?

Question

Im 15, about 6ft, 155lbs and a strong hitter i think because i do alot of weights, ive recently started boxing and wanted to get one for home use, does the length of it matter, and what weight should it be? Thanks

Answer 1

I have a kick bag on a pedestal that you fill with sand. it will hold 210 pounds of sand. my brother who is 6ft5 220lb and a body builder can hit it and it will tip to one side but has never fallen over. the base is wider at bottom so not easy to tip over.
