Is this bag too hard toward the bottom to kick?

The bag has loose sand bags mixed in with the stuffing, if you kick one, it's going to hurt.. I'd recommend repacking the bag (remove all the stuff inside it, and restuff it) with out the sand bags. If you do this, the bag will be very good for kicking on the bottom.

I use this bag for kickboxing all of the time. It hits the same from the top to the bottom. Top notch bag.

This is bag is firm but soft at the bottom, however, I would do a preliminary tap and feel check due to shifting of materials when being shipped. I did have one of the inner core sand bags near the surface in the middle of the bag. I had to unload and re-shift the materials to ensure no "brick-like" impacts.

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 depends. Each one is different. It definitely seems like they aren't being packed by people who have been trained to pack theses because my bags were all over the place. I pulled all mine out and replaced it myself because there was a couple of bags right in my punching area. Since doing so there has been no movement of the bags.

That's not what this bag is for (punching as hard as you can). This is a reflex bag, each type of bag suits a different purpose. If you want to hit something as hard as you can, I would recommend a heavy punching bag.

The bag will not stand on its own. There is a dowel that runs up the top half of the spine, but the bottom half is soft. I hang mine by the strap at the range to keep it upright.

Not at all. I had the same concern but my it isn'tand mmy daughter also takes it to school to play with during before and after school. Only reason why I mention that is because she can't stand when her bag is too heavy. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Make sure your bottom fins are both straight. If one is slightly off, it will cause it to turn to no end! Be sure to use the inflatable sleeve when you put it in the duffle bag .

It's kind of tricky. Relax and don't force it. Push one of the bottom leg bars first. I thought it was a pain at first, too.

The top bar is not soft. The entire setup is not terribly stable. I put weights on the bottom to help but I am still aware of the pressure I put on it at certain angles. Hope that helps.

No holes on the bottom. You would need to be really low for the sides to kick up anything. I have never had an issue.

Yes, the bottom does have some cushion. The back of the bag does not. The padding is actually a piece that separates the two sections; front to back.

It is fine .. it is covered the half bottom of the back not fully with cushion, this bag if i rate it should be 9.9999 .. My only concern is the handle on the top not think enough to grasp it in comfortable way , but rather than this it EXCELLENT..

Sorry for the late response. 7 in wid is the problem. The bottom of the bag is 6 inches. If you intend on loading the bag up wit a lot of weight it's not the one you want. The lifting strap and shoulder strap attachment points are very weak. My bag started ripping there after two months of use.

Maybe the leg hinge is stopping it. Usually the bag rests on the floor against the leg, or over the horizontal leg of a C-stand.

I agree with Archery Farms: "mostly floppy". A standard size lady's beach bag is much stiffer. My wife suggested, maybe spend a little more money, buy something more practical and "classy".

I am using my ultra light carry bag. I have to tie the bottom straps but it works fine. I am going to go to my Ping carry bag but I am just to lazy to dig it out of the basement. I think you could use whatever bag you want.

No....dont know why you're worried about the bottom - it doesn't show. It is very heavy though and not good for people with limited strength.

Mine is a little stiff. I think it's suppose to be so it doesn't move by accident.

I haven't had those problems. Like the others said curve down is best. Sometimes it seems to me like it doesn't sense a bag but I move it and it does.
