Just like my glove thread i'm gonna put together a list of the types of bags and pads and what brands make them and which ones you should buy.




Heavy Bags:

They materiels they come in are either leather,synthetic leather,canvas,nylon,or some other form of materiel.

Leather bags will last longer than any othe bag,so if you own a gym or are buying one for the long run it will cost you anywhere between $150-300 bucks


Synthtic bags are still durable but probaly won't last decades of use like leather bags will it should cost anywhere between $150-250 bucks


Canvas bags are tough and should last awhile,maybe longer than a synthetic bag,but they are harder to care for than leather bags they should cost between $80-150 bucks


Nylon bags are cheaper and are somewhat durable,they generally may last 5 years,they should run you anywhere between $50-150 bucks.


Regular Heavy Bags:



They weigh anywhere between 60-120 pds and the length is anywhere between 36-50 ins. long.

Pros:Great for developing your weapons,durable,will give you a great workout,chasing the bag around will help you develop somewhat of a sense of being in a fight.


Consepending on if you have a foam liner or what you filled it with they may be hard and not having the right gloves may hurt,sometimes when you just wanna develop your punches the bag swaying can be annoying.

Everlast,CSI,Windy,Fairtex make these type of bags.

I'd reccomend an Everlast bag.


Large heavy bags:



Pros:Large size insures more durability and it is easier to hit allowing you to increase your punching power

Cons:Expensive I doubt if you'll find one for under $200

They are generally made of leather or synthetic and should cost anywhere between $230-500 dollars.


Double end bags:


Pros:Help develop accuracy,form,speed,clean punching,and awareness,constant movement equals better workout.

Cons:Not for beginners,can't really hit it that hard,must replace bladder every once in awhile

Cost:$40-80

Types:

Traditional




Mexican style




Everlast,Ringside,Cleto Reyes,and Grant make these.I reccomend the Ringside Mexican style one since you can train head and body with it.



Thai Bags



Pros:You can work out all your weapons easily,can train leg kicks,slim design develops accuaracy,6 ft length makes workout more realistic


Cons:They're tall and heavy making them hard to find a spot to place them.

Everlast,Windy,Fairtex,Ringside,Title,CS I make these bags.All of the companies bags are of very good quality but I reccomend a CSI bag.


I'll update with the pads tomorrow.
