5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Coordination Training, April 17, 2010

I got this bag for my 9 year old son because he has some coordination issues. I wanted him to work eye hand coordination and get some exercise. He really enjoys working out with this reflex bag.

We filled our base with a 50 lb bag of sand rather than water. I figured that it would end up in the house and I didn't like the idea a flood on wood floors if it leaked. Also that quanity of sand is twice as heavy as the same amount of water. This means the bag will stay upright if it gets hit hard. The play sand that we used had to be dried on a tarp to get it to pour into the opening. When it was damp it had to be forced into the opening and it took a long time to get a small quantity of sand inside. Other than that it was very easy to assemble. Everlast provides a hex key and a cheap stamped out wrench to assemble the bag.

It does unscrew slightly form the base as it is struck. This should not be a deal breaker for you, but something you need to be aware of.

Other reviewers have posted negative reviews must be hitting this bag with powerful blows. From my experience a reflex bag is more for speed and reflex training than power blows. If you want to lay into something with power, get a heavy bag. It will suit you much better.

For our use we are very happy with the bag. I think any kid would really enjoy this as a gift. Dad likes it too, and I like that my son getting some exercise rather than sitting in his room playing with his Nintendo DSi.

We got the Everlast 8 ounce Youth gloves to go with this Reflex Bag. I would recommend them as they offer good wrist support and excellent construction.

Update5/26/10: Yesterday one on my son's friend used a bat on the reflex bag. It is not bat proof. It knocked the bag off. I poured Gorilla glue into the hole and on the post and let it dry with the post pointed up for a day. It seems as good as new.

Update 7/3/10 The bag is better than new. Two kids parties and near daily use and the bag is still firmly on the pole. The Gorilla glue has secured this bag with no sign of wiggle. They should manufactur them like this.

Update 11/8/11 The bag is still on as good as when I first glued it. No wiggle. The unit has been stored on our patio and is starting to rust at the spring and shaft. Nothing that affects the performance. It's just not that sightly. My son wants a B.O.B. Body Opponent Bag It is a training bag that looks like a torso. $250...ouch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value for the money., January 9, 2010

I disagree with the previous review. I bought this item and have been having fun with it. I'm a serious martial artist weighing 195 lbs and I hammer this thing with punches as hard and fast as I can and it keeps bouncing back. I purchased this to use inside during the winter months. If you want a heavy bag--buy one. This is meant to work speed, and it also gives you a chance to work defensive head movements, since it snaps back at you. For the price, it's a good value.

Minor complaints, the spring will unscrew slightly as you work it. I just screw it back down afterwards. The construction isn't heavy duty--but it's fine for the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Use at my gym. Great bag., December 11, 2009

My gym has two of these and they both take a beating, are still in great shape. I purchased this for my son, 5'11" & almost 200 lbs after seeing it and he & I both used it at the gym. Not sure about the core workout, but it's great for dancing around and dodging the blows (it will come back at ya!) It's fun and does help a lot with the reflexes. It's not as easy as one may think to hit this bag over and over as fast as it moves. I paired it with a set of Everlast Grappling gloves and there you have it. A fun little work out that MOM and son can do together. Guys looking to throw their weight around should go for the hanging bags.
