    Default Heavy Bag upgrade

    Hello, currently I use a 70# canvas bag. I have problems with it settling and its a hassle to unchain it, hit it with a bat repeatedly to even it out, and rechain it. I need to get a heavier bag also but to counter the settling problem I was thinking about a water filled bag. Ringside has some 120# water bags I was interested in, leaning towards the water/foam. Was thinking of filling it to around 100# first and if I need more weight I can just top it off to 120#

    Are there any other advantages/disadvantages to water filled and conventional filled bags that I should be aware of? Thanks!

    Water Filled Bags I Have Heard Are More Life Like They Are Most Made For People With Soft Wrists I Would HAve To Say Mostly For Beginner But I Started Out With A 100 Pound Canvas Bag But Water Bag Would Be Fin I Guess No Reall Disadvantages That I Can Think Of

    ringside didnt seem to have 100# water, also ordering a water bag will save quite a bit on shipping since the fill doesnt actually come with it. Settling issue is what I really want to avoid, really interested in the water since that obviously wont settle.
