Got a small space in a room and i need help deciding between the two. Mounting is out of the question so im left with either going with a heavy bag on a stand or the century bag. Most likely going to get myself a standing punching bag.
You can't go wrong with either but me personally I prefer the heavy bag, like a 70+ lbs body snatcher/ wrecking ball which are awesome for throwing hooks and uppercuts.
Depends if you are a pure boxer or a kicker. All the good bags with a stand are way too soft from my experience.
I use a stand with a 15inch aqua bag. Perfect for working combinations and power. I think a Century Bob would cost quite a bit more too.
