Excellent product and looks great thats what the 5 Stars is. BUT here is the kicker I look on the box and there is a Taylor Made shipping label on the box still after Aqua training rebranded it. That part does not bug me but what does is the price Aqua sells bag for 70 bucks shipped I look up the similar head hunter 12in with the Taylor Made Tough end buoy on Amazon its 36 bucks cheaper at 34 bucks. I paid too much for a buoy with a high speed paint job, sticker, shackle and dollar store water ballon nozzle. I'll stick with the orange and white low speed Taylor made product thats way cheaper.

This is an awesome bag but wasn't what I thought it was and was much bigger than I had thought. This was my fault though for not reading all the details. I tried returning it and instead of the seller having me return it, she had me keep it and donate it to a local boys and girls club or boxing club! Who does that? That is an awesome seller right there! I would give her more than five stars if I could! I did find a local boys and girls club that I am donating it to, I just have to drop it off. They we're excited to hear it!

Ok, so I originally wrote a review a few years ago but I’m scrapping that and here is everything you need to know. The 12 inch (35 lb) Aqua bag is NOT a bag that you’re going to pound away on although you can. The intent of this bad is to practice 1–2-Hook combos, and light uppercuts. Light meaning don’t smash it so it lifts off into the air it’s 35 lbs if filled to the brim.HOW MUCH TO PUT IN: 32 to 33 lbs is the sweet spot I found. Once you get to 34 lbs to 35 lbs, which by the way don’t go over the bad loses the ability to swing easily unless you hit like a tank. I personally have 33 lbs.WHAT IT COMES WITH: The bag, Water filling Nozzle, and a stopper plug. It comes with the horseshoe shackle, but does not come with a chain. Buy a decent shame at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Will cost like $6 or $8.HOW HIGH TO HANG: Around head height or a Tad above.The Sensor they sell separately will NOT work with his bag.Ok, so my overall opinion, I like this bag it’s not to replace a slip bag it’s not replace a double End bag, however it gives me the ability to punch and move, slip punches and put some power behind it without going overboard. No because it water whatever you’re hanging from make sure it holds at least three times the amount that you’re feeling. For example it’s 35 pounds it should be able to hold at least 100 pounds.If you’re looking for a bag that you’re gonna pound away on and put everything you want into it get the next size up. If looking for a bag or you could move slip this is the perfect bag. In my opinion, the one down from the size I can’t see a purpose for that get a double and bag. That is the 9 inch once.If there’s one negative I can find, feeling it is a little annoying I was trying to get the perfect weight can be difficult but overall it’s not that bad I’m very happy with my purchase and I’ve had for about three years now.

I do heavy bag work without gloves and wraps all the time, it's actually a good reminder to keep good technique as gloves let you punch very sloppy. DO NOT HIT THIS BAG WITHOUT GLOVES! lol. I filled it up, hung it and popped off a quick triple punch combo, OUCH! HOLY CRAP! My hands hurt all night from that. Yeah, yeah it comes with a warning, but so does everything else. So, I wrapped up, put on the Sanabul gloves and smashed the crap out of this bag. It is more substantial than I thought it would be, although a good uppercut sends it up in the air. I feel like I am punching a grizzly bear in the face when I use this bag, it's like a head, but a giant bear sized head. It feels good to punch it.... With gloves.

Filled yesterday; used it this AM: Excellent! I use 8' cable, which I sling over a basketball stand in a park, and connect bag with 2 carbiners on each cable end. Yes, you need gloves to train with this! I wear weight train gloves in lieu of wraps, and MMA gloves: Perfect!Biggest challenge: Filling! No access to hose; used Camelbak Hydration Bladder instead: Remove mouthpiece, feed tubing into bag (you might need to use the supplied nipple), and fill from water inside bladder; make sure bladder is higher than bag, so water flows to lowest point (physics!). Keep plug at ready to insert, because when nearly filled, air will start pushing water out of the bag; you don't want that!This is an EXCELLENT solution for solo trainers whose gyms are closed for COVID! Initially, I'd tried carrying heavy bag to park; this proved impractical: Balancing long and heavy 75 lb. bag solo up and down stairs, carrying the heavy (and I do mean, heavy!) bag to park while also carrying backpack with gear, hanging the bag, removing the bag, in 100 degree weather! Nightmare! Never again!Not so with the 12" Aquabag! If you can lift 30-35 lbs., you can do this thing! And, because it's water-filled, the center of gravity will keep it stabilized. Easy to disassemble quickly if you suddenly need to escape and evade juvenile delinquents or other troublemakers. (Hey, it's Baltimore City, after all!)In sum, I hope you're able to make this work as well as I have! Very happy! Much appreciation to my nutritionist, who listened carefully to my dilemma, and proposed this solution! So happy!!! :)

if you like to box and train at home, you need one of these. I have a double end bag and a wrecking ball bag and this is now by far, my favorite. It's heavy enough to take your hard punches, yet it's light enough to move around like you're boxing a real opponent. I seriously love this bag. The best way I've found to hang it from my garage ceiling to get the best motion is from a hook in the joist, then an compact hvy duty spring, a clevis, a swivel and a section of chain. This this is so fun to hammer on. I wear wraps and 16oz gloves mostly but I have hammered it wearing just my mma gloves.

The bag arrived in a very poor state. They seem to be crushed to fit them into a box that is not suitable for the product itself. The images show the shape of the supposed round bag shape. When trying to fill the bag the water just comes back out of the filling cap due to the rigidity of the material not forming into a round shape when the water goes in. These bags need to be dispatched in the shape they should be once filled so the water simply fills to the level of tje filler cap. Why can't they be sent out in the correct shape? Or a valve supplied that can be connected to a foot pump to enable the customer to shape them before filling. It was really disapointing to have to mess around and struggle with filling the bag when it should be very straight forward. However, it does seem to be very good quality and well put together...strong, sturdy materials that should stand up to a hard workout.

I bought this smaller bag to train with my daughter at home after someone gave me the larger bag to try out on my own. I have worked out with full punching bags before but found for home use they tend to move too much. This bag is small but compact. When filled with water it tends to absorb your punches which does 3 things (at least for me)….1. it actually feels like you are hitting something alive as it has some give2. because of its shape you can do proper uppercuts, something that I find hard on normal punching bags3. it does not move a great deal which seemed weird to me at first as it is basically a ball on a stringI would recommend this bag for children to use as a punching bag, or adults looking for more target practice. I would recommend the larger unit for adults.

It comes empty (obviously) in a compressed state. I filled mine and it became mostly round with a odd lumpy potatoe shape. Contacted the company and they said with time the rubber will return to its intended round shape - it didn't, it's been almost a year. I would never buy again. I do use it - it's my fav' potatoe shaped punching bag - of which I own 1.

Had mine for over a year now, still works great and I only had to fill it once.Depending on how hard you hit, it can move around a fair bit; allowing you to practice head movement and slips.

Great bag. I should had invested in the bigger one. Wish there were more colour selection as well.
