great bag! Last forever
I've had my Wavemaster for 12 years. I am a lifelong martial artist and former boxer, so this thing has seen some beatings! After thousands of hours of striking, it still looks brand new. I fill mine with water, and use a small square of foam matting underneath it to dampen noise & reduce slide. While it doesn't give the same impact resistance as a heavy bag, it's MUCH move durable, portable, and easier on your joints. I would still recommend hand wraps and bag gloves, however. Nothing sets back your training faster than a wrist/hand sprain. Great bag though. I'm going to have to put it in my will, cause this thing's going to outlive me.

Very Durable
I have owned this item for about 5 years and it is still going strong. I use it for about 20-45 mins/ day about 4-5 times per week.
Bare knuckle or with gloves. I primarily do boxing workouts but it has seen its fair share of kicks, knees and elbows and never seen a tear or a worn spot.
The padding is about 4" thick and beneath is a solid plastic ring that alows you to adjust the height. This is also what keeps it from getting worn spots like a regular punching bag.
I used to work out at a friends house who had a 40lb everlast hanging bag and after a few months we tore it and had to hold it together with duct tape, which made us all sticky after every workout.
You can fill the base with water or sand, i have never filled it up all the way, but its pretty stable. If you cant use a hose and have it inside i made a funnel by cutting the bottom off of a 2 liter coke bottle and running back and forth to the bath tub with milk jugs.
Great product for anyone not wanting to drill holes in their ceiling to hang a regular punching bag.
