EVERLAST PUNCHING BAG WITH BOXING GLOVE.

1. Type & Shape

Heavy Bag – Cylindrical, for power punches and kicks.

Speed Bag – Small, fast-moving, improves timing and reflexes.

Freestanding Bag – No hanging needed, good for home use.

Uppercut or Angle Bag – Designed for uppercuts and angled strikes.

Double-End Bag – Suspended by cords, enhances accuracy and timing.

2. Outer Material

Leather – Durable, premium quality, ideal for serious athletes.

Synthetic Leather (PU/Vinyl) – Affordable and weather-resistant, good for home gyms.

Canvas – Rugged and inexpensive, but less durable and comfortable to hit.

3. Filling

Fabric (Rags or Clothes) – Most common; provides a realistic, medium-firm feel.

Sand – Makes the bag heavier and firmer but may settle unevenly.

Foam – Offers consistent density and shock absorption.

Water – Found in some freestanding bags, adjustable firmness and good shock absorption.

4. Weight

Typically ranges from 40 lbs. to 150+ lbs.

Heavier bags = more resistance (better for power).

Light bags = more movement (better for speed and reflexes).

Ideal bag weight = about half your body weight (as a general rule).

5. Mounting Type

Hanging – Requires ceiling hook or wall bracket; allows bag to swing naturally.

Freestanding – Mounted on a weighted base; easier to set up, more portable.

Wall-Mounted – Stationary, good for space-saving setups.

6. Height and Length

Standard heavy bag: ~4 feet (for punches).

Longer bags (5–6 feet): Suitable for both punches and kicks (Muay Thai, kickboxing).

7. Shock Absorption

High-quality bags absorb impact well, reducing strain on your hands and joints.

Foam-layered or water-filled bags usually offer better shock distribution.

8. Durability

Look for reinforced stitching, heavy-duty zippers, and a strong hanging system (chains or straps) for long-lasting use.

9. Target Markings (Optional)

Some bags have visual targets or zones for precision training and combination practice.
