Punching balls & Speedballs

I bought this because it is not possible to install a hanging punching bag, even a small one, in my home. I am satisfied, and here is my experience in more detail: Took maybe 5 minutes put together, and way more to fill the bottom with water because I kept underestimating its thirst. Filled, it doesn't budge during workout, yet isn't too heavy to move around if necessary. I felt a moment of anxiety when opening the package and finding out I need to screw some bolts, but fortunately the necessary simple tools were provived as well. The ball itself is quite satisfying to punch, though I maybe would have preferred something a little bit heavier. Still, it feels good. The spring gives way quite a lot and you'll want to have enough room for it to bend in every direction, or in the very least keep easily breakable stuff away from it. So, but very good for reflex training and maybe even improving your footwork if you have enough room to dance around the ball. Even if you don't have quite that much room (I don't), it bounces around enough to challenge your accuracy and might even punch you back if you don't pay attention, making it a very nice workout tool. To sum it up: Good for training your reflexes, footwork, or just warmup before heavier excercise. Feels good to punch, but your experience will be lighter than with a heavy bag.

Seems fairly solid so far. Under heavy workout the screw in the middle gets a bit loose and you need to tighten it up, but it's not that big of a deal.

Nice thing. Just what I wanted. The only thing that scares me is how to get the water out of when I will be moving
