Bob Bag anygood?

Are these any good or worth getting? I am already getting a banana bag and was wondering if It would be worth it to get a bob bag. The reason is someone local is selling one for 75 and mabe I could even bargain lower. Incase you dont know what I am talking about it is this http://www.tigerstrikekarateequipmen...urybobbag.html

I think I remember reading somewhere they are good for accuracy/focus but I dont remember where. Anyway would that be true. Finally is a bob bag actually usful in anyway or just a gimmick. Thanks

Don't get a bob bag and if you really must have a punching bag that looks like a person get a Spar Pro.

A good Gym and a banana bag at home will be all you need for a long, long time.

Good for practicing accuracy, but a Bob bag will not give you a good workout.

yeah. I like primarily using a bob bag to throw high kicks cause of the neck portions, it feels more real. but i dont do it often, only ever used a bob bag once

I'd prefer a female dummy personally.

I'm wondering if a wavemaster bag would be sufficient for training. I am moving away to a leased house for college in the fall and I can't hang a bag. How bad are the Wavemasters?

I am looking at something like this: http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/pr...archId=1190161
