Hi, I'm 21 boy (7" L x 3" W hand, 5.10" &amp; 136 lbs), Full Contact casual training (3 days p/week) Heavy bag, sparring among other things. Is 12 oz ok?

I would get 14 oz. 12 oz is better for fitness training and puts let's stress on your hands. If you are doing sparring 14oz is the lowest I would recommend to start with.

Just go ahead either with 8 or 16 the heavier will just help build endurance and speed in your punches... I say 16 ;)

Any heavy bag will be hard on hands if your hands are unprotected. He should be wearing grapping gloves at a minimum. It's not a reason not to buy a bag, it's just a reason to buy a pair of gloves.

It depends on where the weight bags are packed. Mine came pretty poorly packed and I chose to repacked it keep the weight in the middle and center from top to bottom so mine is fine for kicking. Some people chose to put half of the weight at the bottom, but its preference.Btw, 100lbs in this size bag is very dense to kick. I would suggest a full length MMA bag for better versatility and more appropriate weight distribution over this one.

It should be fine. My twin 12 year old boys have used them (we have 2) and usually ended up sweating an dun zipping the bag. Can't beat the price.

It is 7inches wide closed. When you open the bag, the opening for your hand is 6" wide x 3.5" (front to back). I wear mens xl gloves and I can get my hand in it fine while training. I would love to see one 8"x4.5"(open) that latches open like this one. Until then, this one has the roomiest access for quick timing on your rewards.John D.

I would say too big... I was using my bag for the gym with a pair of shoes, weights, towels, jacket and a few other small things and it still had a lot of room in it! It's flexible enough that you could easily shove it into a locker if you only had those few things you listed in it. I ended up getting a smaller bag for me to use for the gym.

I would say the shipping weight at 25lb is a mistake. This is a heavy-duty bag. It's great, but it gave me a hell of a workout just getting it hung up by myself. I would add it to your cart and see on checkout what the shipping charges are. Better yet, go for the Prime and save on that and a ton of other stuff. --William

I would say you are expecting to much from this cheap bag. It's probably more like 2lbs. There's not much to it. It packs up pretty small, and is a decent little bag for occasional warm weather camping for the price.i am very pleased with it. The inside material is "sticky" on your skin when sweaty, other than that for ~$20 it's good enough. Good luck.

Sorry for the delay....This is a hard question to answer, I do not knowhow big this child is, and how many bats, gloves etc he will carry. I gave this bag to a 10 year old who is tall and very thin and he will nothave any problems with it.

That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions. What size and weight is your son using currently? If he's swinging say a 30 or 29, is it really light for him? If not, I would buy the correct size elsewhere instead of getting a better price and having to put chokes on the grip. I err on the smaller size. I see a lot of parents buy big to save money or in hopes for them to hit harder. I like to keep the correct size or in my case, I bought smaller than I wanted to because of the better deal here. Its the form that counts but if you go bigger, it could hurt more than help the form. Just my $0.02 That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions.

My beloved Harry is nearly 10 lbs. and finds his Sherpa bag roomy and quite comfortable for either standing with his head out to view the world or curled up snug and warm in the bottom when napping. If your baby will tip the scales at a whopping 3 lbs. I'd say this would still be the perfect bag for you ;) You'll have lots of extra room for blankets, toys and snacks :) There are smaller bags around, but I found none to equal the quality and appearance of this one.

It should be good , you can tie down the bottom when kicking if it swings too much. The bag is a little heavy and might take a week or so to get your hands use to striking.

I say no. I purchased a bag because it was smaller. I consider myself as a medium man. Suggesting, I say no. I purchased a bag because it was smaller. I consider myself as a medium man. Suggesting, spend a little extra money get a better bet.

I am 5'9 and 195 lb, also fairly muscular. I bought the 5 black and it was a bit big. I used it for a year and it was very good but big. I think #4 will be good for you, it is decent quality, one of the g's ripped during a JJitsu practice. But the guy I was fighting was a beast, so I still think the quality is decent for everyday practice.

The mouth of my 5" bag is much larger than 5". The web site: shop.proactivesports.com shows a 5" Sunday Bag & a 7" Sunday Bag. They are apparently referring to the area at the bottom of the bag (where the club grips would "sit" when in the bag). I just measured the bottom of my 5" bag and it is a bit more than 5". My 5" Sunday Bag is perfect for 4 irons, 3 woods and a putter. Often carry fewer clubs. Would not want a larger heavier bag. This is a "soft side" bag and I love it. Hope this helps.
