I have the wavemaster xxl ghost edition and I store mine in the corner then move it out in the middle of my floor when I use it. Mine is filled with sand so it takes a bit of strength to move it. I also have the original wavemaster but I keep that base outside and just detatch the bag and bring it in.

Not in this video. Just water so far. Will record a new one.

I was wondering the same thing. I bought one anyway because I just need something to kick. Seeing how it moved a lot with his kicks I will be putting sand and water in it. When it comes in I’ll let you know how it goes bro.

@@KKzErstorung hey bro, can you give us an update on your purchase? I am really on the fence cause I too kick hard and don't this thing flying around.

@@xxdohkooxx it’s a decent bag if you’re practicing drilling and getting reps in. It’s not a good bag to improve your power like heavy bags or thai bags will do. But I will say I’m very surprised at its stability. I have not been able to knock it down with high kicks. This bag is best for practicing and teaching low and mid kicks. It’s a bit expensive but to me it’s worth it.

@@xxdohkooxx another thing….if you plan on getting this bag. I suggest getting those foam floor tiles and taping it to the bottom of the base. Just to protect the base more and keeping it from sliding to much.

What do recommend?

I’m 5 feet 9 inches. You can find this bag at the manufacture’s site www.centurymartialarts.com/training-bag-collection/torrent-t2-pro-102162k

@@Hauser702 interesting....from what i can tell they said total height should be 67 inches? which is like 5'7 lol...not saying you're lying about your height but it's weird their measurement is a bit off. so for a 5'11 person this should be fine right

@@JJJinXXX I'm 5,11 I got this bag it's about 2 inch higher than my eyebrows when I'm in my stance it's as tall as me

@@JJJinXXX it's a good height its something I was worrying about too before I ordered it but it's a good height for 5.11 guys. I'm in love with the bag

@enigma I'm certain that it would be much harder to move with sand in the base. In fact, I have a bag of 25 pound play sand waiting to be used. For the moment, I am using water as I need to move the bag in and out of the rain. I'll upload another video when I add sand into the base.

I use sand. Much heavier than water. Certain ones has suction cups on the bottom

You're welcome, Michael. Good luck with your purchase!

Yes, I'll do that. For now, I'm working to rehabilitate my should and get back into hitting the bag regularly.

I wasn’t aware of a 2XL Pro. I’ll have to drop into an ILoveKickboxing class to see what they are using (XXL or 2XL Pro)

@@Hauser702 Cool no worries, most likely they are using 2xl pros as they are designed for commercial use according to century rep whom i spoke with. I was in the market for a freestanding bag that i can go to town on as Covid prohibits use of the MMA area at the gym i go to. I ended up going with the 2xl pro; the only real issue i have with it is im on the second floor and using it seems to shake the entire building (A memory foam topper under it seems to help some what), I was just curious how it would be if i went with the torrent t2 pro. but from watching your video it seems the t2 pro would make even more noise/shaking because of how much more it moves comparing it to the 2xl pro.

@@phantomskate84 Ha. Yes. Absolutely. If you like lifting the bags with your kicks, then the weight slamming down on the floor will cause the shaking and noise. I plan to add 25 pounds of sand to see how it lifts and moves. Let me know if you find a solution to your problem?

I'm not sure if it costs less to manufacture, but it retails for $100 more than the Wavemaster XXL. Both items are products from Century Martial Arts.

@@Hauser702 thats interesting. the main pro i like about the Torrent bag is that the water sealant is inside the bag itself meaning it takes less floor room. At any rate, i upgraded to a everlast hanging bag. the response feels so much better when i strike it.

Thanks! I couldn't find any videos on the Torrent T2 Pro (other than the ones from Century Martial Arts) so I wanted to put one up for those who are also considering this purchase. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, both the Torrent T2 Pro and Wavemaster 2XL/XXL will move with a strong front kick. There's no getting around that if you have heavy legs and like to knock things around. In class, I group 2-3 Wavemasters together so that they stop the main one from moving around. I've been using the Wavemasters periodically since 1996 but it wasn't until 2014 that I was working with Wavemaster 2XL/XXL consistently with a IloveKickboxing membership. I've broken a couple of Wavemasters 2XL/XXL and various instructors have told me to tone it down with the kicks (can't help it). For my own purchase, I was looking for something more durable and I think this new design helps. The stem is much thicker and longer than previous designs. The Wavemasters would often twist/loosen and a strong kick will snap/break it at the joint if you don't tighten it immediately. With a Wavemaster, you have to tighten it a few times each round. No so with the Torrent T2 Pro. Adding sand will make the base heavier but the movement might persist due to the floor material (plastic base on top of artificial grass). Personally, I don't mind the movement because I'm working through a bad left shoulder. I would prefer the bag give/move a little instead of redirecting the punch back into my shoulder.

@@Hauser702 Awesome feedback...Thanks so much! I ran into the same thing with only finding T2 videos from Century so, I really appreciate and am thankful for your video. Im leaning towards to the T2. Can you tell me if, for example, you’re throwing a combination of punches / kicks, does one bag rock back and forth more than the other? When training with a partner, I expect the bag will rock but, I don’t want it to slow us down so much that we’re constantly waiting in between combinations / sets. I also don’t want to jam my punches bc the bag is sliding / rocking into me after every punch. Can you provide feedback on this too? Thanks again!! Osu 🤙🏻....

@@jlasorsa i own a wavemaster XXL. it seems a little more robust than this one. you just need 2 people to properly tighten it onto the base or else you are constantly going to be tightening it up.

@@jlasorsa I’ll have to bring my tripod to class and record a short clip on their Wavemaster 2XL. I’ve been meaning to put a yoga mat underneath to see if that helps with the sliding. In the meantime, check out this video of my good friend who recently got a Wavemaster 2XL. th-cam.com/video/Ztux9uMijwE/w-d-xo.html Both bags are great. Good luck with your decision. 🥊

@@diggityd4n16 Good to know. Thanks!
