Freestanding Bag for Muay Thai Training

Hey guys, i was just wondering if any of you who train in Muay Thai have a freestanding bag that you use at home, such as the one in the picture below, and how effective it is in practicing your kicks and punches, as well as clinches and knee strikes especially.

For Clinching, youre perhaps better off with a...
I cant remember what theyre called. Its like a Heavy Bag, but Narrower, and Flat Bottomed. Grapplers use them.

Otherwise, a common complaint is that if you cant get 125-200 Kilograms into them, with Power Strikes, you can be forced to make them Singular.
For everything else however, it ought work.

Personally I prefer Heavy Bags. But these DO work. Its perhaps good to have Both.

Cant think of how you can use that with some power. Go for the heavy bag mate.
