The Dripex free standing bag is 69 inches tall on a widened base you fill with sand or water, with twelve suction cups on the underside that grip smooth floors so the whole unit stops walking across the room between combinations. Dual TPU shock absorbers and four heavy springs sit between the bag and the base, which absorbs impact and cuts the noise that makes free standing bags a problem in apartments. Filled with sand rather than water it is substantially more stable, since sand is denser and does not slosh. Best fit: home gyms, garages, and apartments where hanging a heavy bag from the ceiling is not an option. It is a speed and technique bag rather than a power bag, so very heavy strikes from a large adult will still move it.

Frequently asked questions
Should you fill the base with sand or water?
Sand. It is denser so you get more mass in the same volume, and it does not slosh, which is what causes the rocking motion with water.
Will it damage a hardwood or laminate floor?
The suction cups grip rather than scratch, but any heavy loaded base on a soft floor is worth putting a mat under, both for the floor and for extra noise damping.
Is it quiet enough for an apartment?
Quieter than most free standing bags because of the shock absorbers and springs, but not silent. A rubber mat underneath makes a large additional difference.
Does it tip over when you hit it hard?
Filled fully with sand it handles normal training well. A heavy adult throwing full power kicks can still topple it, which is true of free standing bags generally.
How long does assembly take?
Under an hour for most people. Filling the base is the slow part, and a funnel makes the sand step far less messy.
