Sand ones work well unless you kick them hard. If you kick them then they may move around depending in the number of companies you're a director of.
Cheers. It's just for punching. Argos and Decathlon seem to have ones that come with a frame to hang a bag from. I'm getting the impression they're better than the ones which have a base.Hoofy said:
Unless you put a lot of very heavy stuff in the hanging ones and they're chained to the ground, they will move a lot. Light ones without a tether will swing like they're in a gale-force wind!
I guess it depends on your application. Having one swing wild will train your targeting as well as your agility if you try to not let it hit you. On the other hand, you might want to punch really heavily which will send the bag swinging up to hit the ceiling or whatever is behind the bag!
Thanks - this is helpful. Basically I want to beat the crap out of something on a regular basis, and it would be better if that 'something' were a punchbag in my garage. Maybe a fast-paced technical workout will do the job as well as simply biffing a bag as hard as I can.I guess it depends on your application.

I'll have a wander down to the local Decathlon and see what's what.
