Cheap unit. Instructions said using water to weight it down is fine but it started flowing out the side before it was 2/3rds full. The plastic seam was maybe damaged in transit? You get what you pay for. A bit of plumbers sealant over the seal all the way around it however and she’s fully sound.
I use Amazon quite often, things don’t always go to plan, it’s when things go wrong you find out how good the seller is.
First item delivered had a missing part, but no problem, Idola sorted it in a timely fashion, will used again.
The product was fine as described.
Solid punch ball, which you can add on sand or water, for the stable practice.
Pretty bouncy and retained back to position in no time.
You can adjust the height accordingly to suit.
Good for exercise and practice on your reflexes.
Would be nice if the boxing gloves are included.
Still a bit steep at 42 with voucher, comparing to similar items.
It’s well made and really a great addition to my home gym. It’s easy to setup, the solid base could be filled with sand or water, and I used the later. To be honest, albeit plastic, the base feels very solid. I had a bad experience though with an IKEA lamp base but this Dripex looks much much better and hope it will last forever.
The height is adjustable hence can cater for kids with different ages. Once setup, the punching bag as a whole is really robust and flexible. The suction cups are exceptional strong and the base is really stable for punching practice.
Overall a quality punch bag to recommend for home use.
The “Speed Punch Ball with Stand” from “Dripex” is a freestanding punching bag that’s ideal for home gyms and the like.
The punchbag arrives requiring a small amount of assembly. This is fairly straight forward and doesn’t take too long to put the whole thing together. Essentially, it’s filling the hard-plastic base with either sand or water (we used water), and then slotting and screwing on the various pieces and poles.
The height of the punchbag is fully adjustable via the hand-screw wheel that’s located half the way up the stem of the thing.
Once erected, the punchbag as a whole is actually incredibly robust and well made. The pole that forms the stem is a thick stainless steel pole, which provides plenty of strength to it when in use. The base is again, strong and robust, with a very thick plastic having been used. The spring that’s located directly underneath the punching bag is equally as solid, with it providing the return-flexibility needed for a punchbag, whilst also not being too thin to warp under repeated use.
The punching bag itself is perfectly padded, whilst having a robust covering over it to give it the longevity you want from an item of this nature.
All in all I’ve been incredibly impressed with the overall quality of this standalone punching bag. The added weight given to it when the base is filled with water means it’s not going to budge an inch when you’re using it. The spring action it provides when you’re punching the punchbag is quick and effective, allowing for fast jabs that aren’t slowed by the return.
Really happy with this stand alone punchbag. Absolutely what my son (who does martial arts) wanted. Highly recommended.
This punching ball provides a fun and engaging way for children to release their energy and practice their boxing skills. The adjustable height feature is a great advantage. It allows the punching bag to grow with my child, ensuring that they can continue to enjoy it as they get taller. The range of 135-155 cm provides flexibility for different age groups.
The 6 suction cups on the base provide stability and prevent the bag from tipping over during use. This ensures safety and prevents any accidents while my child is enjoying their boxing session.
However, I did notice a small flaw with the suction cups. Occasionally, one or two of the cups may lose suction after prolonged use, causing the bag to tilt slightly. While this doesn’t happen often, it would be ideal for the suction cups to maintain their grip consistently.
Despite this minor flaw, this is still a great addition to our playroom. It promotes physical activity, hand-eye coordination, and helps my child burn off excess energy. The construction of the punching bag is durable, and the adjustable height feature adds longevity to its use.
This is good value and really easy to set up. It only took me about 10 minutes.
You can put water or sand in the bottom. I used sand, and it was really sturdy.
The stand is adjustable which is good.
This is perfect for my teenager, he is pleased with it.
I ordered this for my 15 year old son who is setting up a little gym for himself. He does not do boxing so does not need a heavy weight punch bag. I have set this up for review (his birthday is not for a month or so, so I’m going to disassemble again and box it up hence my video is with the base unfilled)
I was really surprised how good it was, even with the base totally empty and the bag at full adult height. Obviously if I didn’t have my foot on it, it would have slid across the floor, but it wasn’t tipping over at all. I think with water in you could away with it on a carpeted floor but on a hard floor you would need something heavier like sand if you have it at adult height. It would probably be fine with water for children.
It was super easy to put together and to disassemble, I did both in about 10 minutes. I think what will take the time is filling the base!
I think my son will love this, it will be a great stress release as well as a fitness tool.
This is in my garden. The base we filled with water and though it has suction cups that screw into the base i took them off so i could move it further out & then back when finished using.
Its really really sturdy. Im really pleased with it – great for venting your anger on!
This simple but effective punch ball arrives well packed and with a base that can be filled with water or sand to weigh it down. It took around 10 minutes to assemble and was easy to do so. The height of the ballis adjustable and it works well for high intensity training sessions. Decent value for money, so far the base has not leaked and the ball is still in good condition.
I set this up and filled the base with water and found that it is quite interesting to replicate a sparring style practice. At first I thought it could do with a steady spring but once I got used to it appreciated how good it was to assist in training defence I’m giving a more dynamic feedback. It was surprising how much water I had to put into the base but the weight of the base means that it doesn’t move the base also has suckers underneath so you can put it on a tiled floor to offer even more assistance. I have raised it a little bit as it was too small for me so I simply put it on a 6 inch plinth which allows me to now deliver at a more comfortable height.
No ball to inflate as it’s a foam one ready to use.
Only thing needed to get it all up and working is either an awful lot of water or sand. This is for the base to hold it down and stop it from falling over. Bit like some parasol bases works on same principal as that.
No extra tools required for assembly and to put together a simple job.
Should get lots of use over summer as can be used outside or in. Maybe a summer garden hit for the family over summer holidays and even on bad weather days could be used inside.
I am not a boxer, so this was only ever required to supplement my exercise routine. If you do a bit of footwork as well as the punching, this is good for a full body workout.
I think overall for the price the construction seems pretty reasonable, but I thought the poles and the height adjustment mechanism seemed just a little poorer in quality.
The assembly of this is a doddle, you have to fill the base with something, water or sand, but I would say that sand is better as it is less mess, and water will swill around and could potentially displace the weight/stability.
The sprung base of the pole is good and has enough strength in it to absorb the punches. The first pole is treaded, so tightens into the sprung base. The second pole was a bit sharp at the ends, so be careful, but slides into (with a bit of fiddling) the 1st pole, then locks into place; potentially, I could see this as being a weak point later on, but it does the job it is designed for.
The height adjustment knob that you see on the listing, is really just a tightening knob as it is the push in button that determines the locking for the height.
The six sucker feet won’t do much if you are using it on a carpeted floor, like I am, but should help for laminate, lino, or tiled floors.
Height wise, it was OK for me, but I am only 5″ 5′ if you were much taller you would be limited to upper body height punches, which may suit you fine, especially if using it as an exercise tool.
The foam punch bag itself is pretty solid and seems well made enough. All in all, when you consider the current price of 44.99, I don’t think it is bad value for money.
I was expecting a light red beachball thing attached to a rod that kinda moves.
But This is a professional, extremely high quality strong durable reflex ball perfect for training. The materials are top quality it swings back and forth fully and shoots back at you like you are sparring. Been training with it as an amateur for about 2 months. Love it! Overall 100% recommend!
Bought this as a gift for my son on his birthday. Broke the second time he used it. Clip inside snapped. Really disappointed but seller was very helpful and offered either a replacement or a refund. Thank you
So I’ve been trying this out since it arrived . The construction is good with a large base that can be filled with sand or water for stability. The spring action on the stand is good and the pad is nice solid material but not too hard ,there is some give when hitting it . Putting it together was simple to do. The only thing I don’t like is the height , for headshots you are not able to punch at a level similar to your own height or higher , it is too low . So I will be using this on a raised surface to give the impression of a taller opponent. Otherwise it is excellent for the money
Ordered one for Christmas. When we put it together Christmas Day there was missing pieces. Emailed the company and their customer service was amazing. Sent a new one within days. Great service and really gear product. My son kick boxes and it is a really good product for him to practice on.
