Hi All,

The Power Target Pro looks like a well thought out system.

Being able to hit and kick from multiple angles and heights.

I think the big selling point would be driving a truck on them. :)

However, at around $730, would these bags actually be of use to you or your school....or do you think they are just a novelty and you prefer the typical heavy bag.

Does it make sandwiches? You'd think it'd at least to that much for $750.

IMO, it's a novelty. For that price, I could get 3 quality thai long bags, or 5-6 normal heavy bags.

I'd personally put my money elsewhere.

No, I wouldn't. For that amount of money, it should be providing the instruction, too.

That is a novelty. No way I would pay 730 for a punching bag.

Tell you what. I am willing to make an honorable sacrifice and make sure it is worth your money. So please buy one, send it to me, I will use it for a while and get back to you whether or not you should get one for your school.

I am just so unselfish that way ;) :D :p

Even a multi-tiered multiple target punching bag isn't worth that much.
I built a man-sized striking dummy using the IKCA plans (made out of PVC pipe, carpet strips, duct tape and time) that gives me all the targets, all the resistance and it cost me about a week and a half at an hour or two a night and $50.00 including all the duct tape, PVC and PVC cement.
A little work and creativity and you can have more effective equipment than is on the market.

Hello, Punching bags work just fine. You do not need this $730 piece of equitment.

People use to cut car tires and put mount them on walls. This works great for tuff up the hands and muscles (substitute - little brother, this works too).

See you can save money and time...be creative to save money. May things can be use for punching bags? ................Aloha

Does it have a beer tap on the side like Rodney's golf bag? If not, I will take my $100 Everlast. :)

for 730 it should fight my fights for me while I watch with a beer in my hand... that it served me.

Get a heavy bag and a pair of focus mits. JMHO.

It looks like you get two bags with the system....so that brings the price down to about $365 a bag....see not so bad now is it. :)

2 Makiwaras

2 Canvas = $26.00

2 Leather = $66.00

saving between $644.00 to $704.00 priceless... or at least between $644.00 to $704.00

There might be a bag worth $730 but this isn't it. There is no movement and they just stay rigidly on a wall. A Banana bag and a regular heavy bag would be cheaper and move allowing for interaction.

JeffAt $730, it should at least be able to hit back.

Everybody line up okay... I'm after Lisa. :D
