What do you think of this piece of equipment? Seems ridiculously priced and I don’t know what you’re gaining over a heavy bag?

I think what you're gaining over a stick shaped heavy bag is targets. Arms, legs, etc. That's always been a weakness in a conventional bag.
But for that price? No thanks.

If the system, with head, arms and legs, was in the $250-$300 range, I'd likely be interested. But at this price point, I'll wait till I see one on Craigslist. :)

It serves a different function, IMO. As DD says, it gives actual targets, and different angles to work around. If I had a school with room for one, I might even be willing to pay that price, but not for personal use.

I'd like to see how durable that sucker is. After it's on the market for a few years, we'll see.

I wouldn't expect any problems. The targets look to be similar in construction to the ones we use, and those last a lot of years. The spring arms could be an issue, but I wouldn't think it would be difficult to engineer them to last. Especially at that price point...

Dammit! Why did you have to show me this? I already have three heavy bags and am always interested in having more (no joke). Time to start saving.
