Big Bag for a Big Guy October 8, 2009
David A. Fiscus (Houston, Tx)
6 months ago I started taking Taekwondo lessons. As I progressed to Green Belt I have found the Original Wave Master in our class tips over with nearly every kick or punch. I am a very big guy, and though overweight and over 50, I spent a lot of time in my younger days lifting weights and playing sports. My legs are still exceptionaly strong. So that after 6 months my roundhouse kicks were knocking the old bag over everytime. So I decided to try the Wave Master XXL.
Very easy to setup. I am too cheap to buy sand, so I filled it with water. It does make a sloshing sound, but I haven't seen any spillage, and I have filled it to the brim.
I can unload my strongest roundhouse kick, and the bag will move a bit, but doesn't come close to tipping over.
So I am very pleased with the product, and recommend it to anyone that is a big hitter.
Great for Muy Thai September 17, 2009

This bag is awesome. It doesn't move around much when you hit it, even for side, roundhouse and power front kicks, and is great for performing combinations on, and is easy enough to move when you flip it onto its side. It works well when filled with either water or sand, sand is a bit more stable though. All in all well worth the money.
 Weak base but otherwise great bag September 16, 2009
Chris Patterson (Waukesha, WI USA)
For starters, this is a nice bag that can take a good punch, high or low kick and some heavy punishment. It's portable and doesn't need to be hung, so there's a lot of nice features if you're looking for a good bag and can't have the noise of it rattling the ceiling.
However, I bought this bag in January and my friend and I knocked it around for four months until the base of the 'stem' snapped. This is the place that gets all the stress, since with a heavy hit the base tips and this hollow plastic stem has to carry the stress of 250lbs of water or sand. (In my case, sand.)
Since, I got a new stem from the manufacturer, but after knocking it around for a few minutes I heard the same crunching sounds at the base of the stem. The hollow plastic stem doesn't hold up, and is the worst part of the bag's design.
If anyone else has had this problem--the solution I came up with was to cut a small circle in the vinyl at the top of the stem and then fill the stem with sand. (There's a small hole at the top of the stem.) The hollow plastic stem now has about 50lbs of sand in it and it feels much better to hit it. The bag doesn't move around, so there's a nice solid feel to the bag, and it's great for strength training. I'm going to add about 50lb more this week, so the total weight of the bag is now 350lbs, which can handle a lot of punishment. Now to see if this can last longer than 4 months! I'll come back in about 6 months with another review.
 The item is ok, but I've got some issues June 28, 2009

Well, the item is nice... But is it what i was supposed to get?
First of all, the writing and such on the bag itself is not the same as the image shown with the WaveMaster written vertically on it... I got the one with the circular looking logo... Both say WaveMaster XXL but I don't know if there really is a difference so I haven't created an issue out of it. Yet.
Secondly, the packaging was crappy... Granted it's huge and the bag part probably wouldn't need padding, the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. Suppose the base was punctured or something? There was no padding in that box either. See the link for the bag i actually got at CENTURY INC 20028463 Wavemaster XXL Black
 Pretty fair substitute June 26, 2009

For an inanimate "sparring partner" nothing beats a good hanging heavy bag, but if one has no place or means to hang a heavy bag then this is a decent substitute.
Complaints: One, it isn't near as firm as a heavy bag -- almost like punching a big pillow. Works okay for speed and form, but doesn't assist much with developing power.
Two,it moves around too much. (Advice -- fill the bottom with sand instead of water).
Otherwise, it's okay for a home gym with limited options.
