Sand and water...for stability.
Wavemaster standing punching bags can be filled with water but the motion is complete shitDefinitely not sand. Someone should make a water filled punching bag. Rags would probably be best out of your options.

Yeah those standing punching bags suck. I meant a hanging one filled with water. Plus I dont think the one youre talking about is even filled with water, just the base is to keep it from moving too much. I mean the actual bag filled with water.
They do make them.

Foam with a water core. Supposed to be easier on your hands/wrists. I don't know about the durability.
Wow that actually looks pretty promising and seems to have good reviews. My only question would be how much does that outer foam give? If its not too hard and more like memory foam then it would be awesome.
So Im on the process of buying a new punching bag that is better than the old shitty one that Ive had for years. So whats the best material for the inside.
Sawdust or Rags or Sand
Whats the best option for not fucking up your hands so much. It seems theres not enough information on it on google that why I come to the always reliable Sherdog Forums
Ya, I was looking at getting a heavy bag a few years ago. I was researching the water bags. There is also this one which does not have as many reviews. Though I think they are supposed to be decent. I'm guessing the foam would hold up unless you are a big HW smashing it for 30 minutes a day. But again, I haven't used them I just remember researching when I was looking to buy one.

I bought a used bag filled with sand packets and rags and it sucked after a few months. The sand all sank to the bottom and collected in large pockets that were like hitting a giant sandbag in certain spots. I hard to mark the hard spots with giant marker so I didn't hit them. Then I stopped using it b/c I almost broke my hand/wrists.
Thanks, Edmond .people may laugh, but shit is really the best thing you can use. you just have to moisten it with water every now and then
That sounds like a good marketing opportunity:people may laugh, but shit is really the best thing you can use. you just have to moisten it with water every now and then
