Standing heavy punching bag or a B.O.B.?

Question

I want to get a punching bag for my backyard and was deciding between an XXL Wavemaster or a B.O.B.(looks like a man). Any advise would be most appreciated.

Answer 1

if you are doing boxing why change from the shape boxers have favoured for 400 years, the normal cylindrical or pear shaped bag.

Answer 2

Depends on what you want to use it for.  If your into martial arts or kickboxing you probably want the BOB to practice specific striking moves.  If your not concerned with practicing moves and more with the conditioning I would recommend the punching bag because you'll probably get a much more thourough workout.

    Personally I would go for a hanging heavy bag because it swings and that allows you to work on your footwork more then a stationary bag or BOB will.
