Everlast PowerCore Freestanding Heavy Bag
Central impact tool for punching drills and stress release.
This freestanding heavy bag features a high-density base filled with sand or water for stability, with a tall striking surface covered in synthetic leather for durability. It's ideal for home use as it doesn't require ceiling mounts or stands, making setup simple for apartments.
At this price, it fits the budget by offering 40+ inches of target area for hooks, jabs, and combos, comparable to $300 bags but without the premium suede exterior. Value shines in its base design, which absorbs shocks better than cheap inflatables that deflate easily.
Compared to pricier options like the Century BOB ($400+), it lacks human-like torso shaping but excels in stability for stress-relief pounding without wobbling.
