Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got this bag for my 9 year old son because he has some coordination issues. I wanted him to work eye hand coordination and get some exercise. He really enjoys working out with this reflex bag.
We filled our base with a 50 lb bag of sand rather than water. I figured that it would end up in the house and I didn't like the idea a flood on wood floors if it leaked. The play sand that we used had to be dried on a tarp to get it to pour into the opening. When it was damp it had to be forced into the opening and it took a long time to get a small quantity of sand inside. Other than that it was very easy to assemble. Everlast provides a hex key and a cheap stamped out wrench to assemble the bag.
It does unscrew slightly form the base as it is struck. This should not be a deal breaker for you, but something you need to be aware of.
Other reviewers have posted negative reviews must be hitting this bag with powerful blows. From my experience a reflex bag is more for speed and reflex training than power blows. If you want to lay into something with power, get a heavy bag. It will suit you much better.
For our use we are very happy with the bag. I think any kid would really enjoy this as a gift. Dad likes it too, and I like that my son getting some exercise rather than sitting in his room playing with his Nintendo DSi.
We got the Everlast 8 ounce Youth gloves to go with this Reflex Bag. I would recommend them as they offer good wrist support and excellent construction.
Everlast Pro Style 8-Ounce Youth Training GlovesUpdate5/26/10: Yesterday one on my son's friend used a bat on the reflex bag. It is not bat proof. It knocked the bag off. I poured Gorilla glue into the hole and on the post and let it dry with the post pointed up for a day. It seems as good as new.
Update 7/3/10 The bag is better than new. Two kids parties and near daily use and the bag is still firmly on the pole. The Gorilla glue has secured this bag with no sign of wiggle. They should manufactur them like this.
