Outshock Adjustable Punching Ball, Adult

Resistant!

Poor quality. I managed to punch the bag and the bar off from the base after one day and I wasn't being over excessive.

Made for children not adults. The ball foam disintergrates and what is poor is that you cant replace the top part. You have to buy the whole product again. Poor quality, can’t take a punch and you won’t get a replacement when it does fall apart. AVOID

Very good

My big muscles broke the bag in seconds although it is still probably the best punching ball i have used because they usually break quicker.

Very good product

Has lasted very well

My son (13) has used this regularly and provides a good workout for him

Doesn’t tip over , can use for power , technique , no water spills , very easy to build , quick delivery . Just all round very good

Bought for my son and he’s well leased with it.

I boxed many years ago and used Cobra and Reflex bags, this one is great, and really made me nostalgic for the good ol' days. I have had two of these, and to be fair to the product, I really tested it's durability, most customers would hit it much softer than I did. The main thing I see on the reviews of this is that the screw in join come's flying off, to stop this happening, by adding a thin tape or even elastic band will stop it popping off so much. The other thing I see in reviews is that the ball came loose from the bolt, also when you are assembling it, make sure you add an elastic band imbedded when tightening the bolt. These are the 2 key factors that should give you optimum use of a good product. Also, don't fill it with sand, there is no need to fill it with sand, water is fine because the spring negates the impact to the base. If you are a big hitter or used the ones at the boxing gym I wouldn't recommend... it has a big design weakness, the coil is tightened on to reinforced hard plastic (what were the designers thinking?), I had 2 of these and had to send back the both for this reason, although the first one had other issues. And again for the big hitters, reinforce the ball by tightening it in electrical or gaffer tape, as the seam will break and the actual ball will break. In summary this is a really good product, but if you are looking to use it like the boxing gyms, you'd be wise to get a more expensive one. But for regular users, I very much recommend it, it's great fun and for £50 it's a good deal. Also I had such a good experience with the online team at decathlon, I wish they would stock more boxing related items, a really good company on support.

This was a great purchase to start with. Appeared to be really good value but after a few weeks' worth of use by a 15-year-old, the connector half way up the upright kept coming loose, despite us trying to tighten it. Now the ball itself is starting to come apart, leaving black bits all over the floor. We have had it for less than 6 months, so the 2-year guarantee seems a little optimistic.
