Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

12/21/18 UPDATE: I hooked up a double end bag to the bracket system and can now throw whatever I want at it. Even this rinky dink setup is better because now I can throw more than jabs and straights. Save your money and make your own. Buy clothing support rods for the doorway and attach a double end bag. You'll spend 1/4 of the price and get more function. I'd argue that this version is even quieter too. Original Review: I like it but it's far too expensive for what it is. It's a decent product but it's very limited in use. It is not quiet. If anything, I would say it's louder than a real heavy bag, less than a speed bag in sound, but I wouldn't say it's "quiet." A couple of weeks with this, I would say the bag can only handle jabs and straights and not from anything other than straight on (no angles). Any time I tried to throw a hook, it has wrecked the device. It either crumbles down (and yes, it's secured as tight as possible) or after the session, the bungee cords are noticably more frayed from it. Oh and the little green plastic pieces always fly off, but that's just cosmetic. It's a decent product, but it is definitely a cardio boxing type of bag and not meant to replace something you can throw real power at. I'm torn on the purchase of this. I like the convenience of small space use, but with it is very limited use. I would love this if the square pad was actually a ball, like a double end bag, that way it'd be better equipped to handle all punches. A circle can handle more abuse than a square. Kind of puzzled by that design decision. I hope a ball type of attachment for this comes out to replace the square and salvages this purchase for me.
