Review: Great for training accuracy, but item moves when hit hard - The body oponent bag (or BOB) by Century has been around for a while. Assembly was straight forward although it was a little difficult to fit the mannequin onto the stand, the fit is quite tight and finding the allignment for the two screws was a little tricky. Once fitted however it's all very sturdy. I filled the base up with water. This also means all the weight is at the bottom, which is unlike a real oponent. Height adjustment is good . I am 6ft2" and I could set the BOB at the same height. There are fairly large steps between height settings however so you might find that you can't quite get the 'perfect' height for you, but then again, no opponent will be 'perfect' either. Hitting the BOB feels good, it's features help you develop accurate aim and techniques such as uppercuts can be trained well on this unlike a heavy bag, which doesn't have the right shape for this. Not having much weight at the top means there isn't much resistance when striking so don't expect to develop hard hits with this. Secondly, the Bob has a tendency to move a bit when hitting hard, and while you could use footwork and move to another side to hit it back to where it came from, this isn't practical for most people, but it is not exclusive to this BOB, it happens to allmost all freestanding bags. So in short, the BOB is a great item to train solo and work on accuracy, technique development, but it's too light to receive kicks or hard punches. For that, a heavy bag that is properly hung up from the ceiling for example, is a better option. Get a BOB to develop your accuracy/precision in your hand strikes/punches, and use it NEXT to a heavy bag for power development/endurance and kicks.
Review: Solid pun bag - Really solid punch bag with adjustable height. The rubber is very nice to hit, not too hard but solid. I was a bit worried buying this as I am in a 1st floor flat with wood flooring so I was worried about the noise. This is a justified concern. I put in 150kg of sand and some water but it still moved around and banged the floor. Here's my advice if you buy: It's a 2 man job so have someone ready to help. Sand is preferable for filling the base and 150-200kg is needed if you hit hard. If you have wooden flooring, buy a thick exercise mat, put the base on top, then fill up afterwards. You can add water to create more space for filling up It is going to be very heavy to move, so once you've filled it, that's where it'll be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing product
*by J***N on 10 March 2021*

Came over a week early and is an amazing punching dummy. I upgraded from a solid punching man to the century Bob and was 100% worth the money, it’s tough enough to take a beating but is soft enough to be used without gloves. The base is a lot better than I thought from reading some other reviews about it being unstable but i have filled it with sand and I wouldn’t expect it to be any more sturdy considering it has easy height adjustment and the dummy part can be removed off. I am very happy with my purchase.
