Century Wavemaster Original Heavy Bag

Does anyone have the Original Wavemaster Heavy Bag? I found a pretty good deal on one ($99 - I think that's a good deal?), and am trying to decide if the Original would work for me, or if I should hold out for the Wavemaster XXL. The XXL is quite a bit more money though, and I'm not sure I'm willing to pay that much (the XXL is around $340 on Amazon).

For anyone with experience with the Original, does it tip over easily? Is there anything that annoys you about it? I'm only 5'2 - would I be able to use it on the lowest setting? Thanks everyone!

For those curious, here is a pic of the one I'm thinking about. I love the color

I love the color and that is a great price!!! I had a red one and enjoyed playing with it. It never tipped over however I did not like the big base. I sold it on Craig s List for $75, but have this Century bag on my Wish List @ $249 Versys 1
Can't. Stop. Drooling.

There are 3 versions and although it cost more, it may interest you

Thanks Felecia! The wide base is something that I was concerned about too, so thanks for sharing your experience.


Wow! Those videos were impressive, especially the 2nd one!! Thank you for sharing! The Versys looks very interesting. I think for what I want to do I'd rather have one that stays upright, but that one looks so fun and versatile!

I have a very similar one. Mine is an Everlast and have always wanted the Century XXL. Like you, I didn't want to pay that much for one, and had no luck finding one on Craigslist.

Here's what I can share about my experience with it. The bag works fine for punching. I filled my base with water, and it has never tipped. It moves a bit, but not much. Where it may not work as well as the XXL, is when it comes to kicking. If you kick high enough, you will be fine though.

Thank you! I wish I could find an XXL on Craigslist, but things like that are nonexistent in my area. Hmm...I'm still undecided. Thanks for your input though!

Have one in red. I love it and use it often. It's perfect to use with the addiction boxing workout series. You can do punches and kicks. . Step-ups and dips.. one sided one leg squats etc. I would repurchase it in a flash if something happened to it. I got luck and got one on brand new on kijji for $85 and the guy delivered it too! My kiddos have fun with it too...

I filled mine with water and no tipping. I have it placed on a cut to size fitness equipment mat and it does not move.

Awesome! Thanks so much! I just ordered

For anyone else interested, here is a link to the deal. My total was $107 with shipping (the sale is for $99, so shipping isn't too bad):

I want the Versys bag too. I found out about it just after I bought my hanging bag. My son recently took the hanging bag down and was doing moves like those shown on the Versys video. Unfortunately the hanging hardware damaged my Dollumur mats(only slightly but still...)
Maybe I will ask for it for the holidays next year.
