Ha! I appreciate the kind words and I’m glad I could teach people something I learned about making one of these bags. Have a great one!

Well.. I have not tried that, but if it were me, I would take some dish soap and mix it up in a bowl of water. Then I would brush that water on the bag and if there is an air leak, theoretically you should see bubbles. I hope that helps. Have a great day

People need to go through their own process. Thanks for commenting. Happy hitting 🥊

I bought a garden hose attachment at Walmart that fit into the air hole. I then poked a hole in the air hole compartment so that the water would flow in properly and then I filled it up slowly. I went slowly because it was splashing everywhere when I went fast. I hope this helps.

@Phil Stolaronek thanks. I'm scared to poke the hole. what did you poke it with?

@@shamimulhoque903 DON’T poke the hole in the bag, BUT.. do poke the hole in the area where you can insert air. The reason I poked the hole was because there is something that prevents air from escaping so that piece makes it harder to fill it with water. I poked it with an Awl. If you’re not familiar it’s a tool that looks like a screw driver but instead of a Phillips or flat head, it has a sharp end. If you don’t have one you can probably just use a Philip’s screwdriver to poke out that piece. If you’re nervous about it you could try filling it without poking the hole but it didn’t work great for me without the hole. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

@@thesecretofthematrix8352 I used a 5mm drill bit on a hammer drill. But it took me 90 mins to fill the bag.

@@shamimulhoque903 Well.. it took a while to fill, but now you’re all set for a long time. Best of luck!

I don’t know exactly but I’d say 50 pounds. It’s not super heavy, but I need an assist when I’m hanging it up. I hold, the other person locks it into place.

you're right brian that is not a taylor made buoy ha ha ha ha

Or maybe you will become a head kick KO SPECIALIST 😂 I kick mine at times, but it is quite high for my flexibility level.

@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 haha good point I always see the Taekwondo guys doing those cool knock outs. Yeah thats definitely a bit high I can kick high but it's not all that practical for fighting I might get a big one I've seen I think one that's longer than these but it's almost $200

Let me know how it goes when you turn them into a punching bag.

Your welcime

IMO, its better than a heavy bag...

When you say return it, what do you mean? Thanks for watching!

@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 I meant return the water bag.

Interesting. I haven’t done much research. I have heard that they have the same patent. I don’t have skin in the game either way. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day

Ha ha. Thanks. Will do. 👍🥊💯… I am actually editing my comment because I haven’t watched this video in a while and I just noticed how low the bag was when I was shooting this video… and that my guard was quite low. I’ve actually moved the bag to my garage and have raised it closer to my head level so I definitely don’t drop my guard as much when it’s in a raised position. HOWEVER, even if it’s lower I know I should keep my guard up and bend my knees to get lower 👍👍

Hi Tim: It’s definitely softer now, but I did switch over to boxing gloves instead of MMA gloves and that made a big difference. Thanks

@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 I should have ask this ? first. When did u purchase this bag, Mainly, my wife is 71,I am 67 Do u think this is the right approach to purchase this bag or it will to difficult for her to work out on.

@@timmiller4979 Hmmm. It depends on what typed person she is and her activity level. It could definitely work for her with some proper boxing gloves. It’s definitely more giving in the hands/wrists. My assumption is that she won’t be punching it overly hard so I’d imagine it would work fine. However.... like one of those commercials.... always check with your doctor first 😃

@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 Yes I understand. I am looking at this boxing bag for bone, mm stimulation outside the obvious athletic event itself. Thank u for this video that initially saw plus your additional comments. Take care Tim

HA! It's my video, I'll do what I want.... LOL. I'm glad you liked the non-rambling part. Let me tell you about the time...... oops... rambling again.... Have a nice day!

BINGO!!!

yes, but after shipping and what not, amazon from ringside vs. a boating company is roughly the same

Bruh, the best stuff is never the name brand that everyone knows.. The biggest names just have the most money behind them.

Yup I got 2 of them set up kind of hard in the winter months

Hello! Not 100% sure. I’d say 50 - 75 pounds

I’m really glad I can help a few people out. See... social media isn’t all bad :) Have a great day and good luck!!

A3 is a good size does get a bit heavy. I also got a A1 I use for a head hunter

According to what I’ve heard, it’s the same patent, but I don’t know for sure. It works well for my purposes. Thanks for the comment

Done. Thanks

No, it’s like a very heavy vinyl material

Thank you! I actually put it in my garage and I raised it. You are correct, it feels much better and the uppercuts are really good this way 🙏👍

Thanks. I moved my bag to my garage on a chain. I 100% need to look into a way to easily move it up and down. What exactly do you use?

What is a “come-a-long”? Thanks

Come-a-long is chain with two hooks at each end, with a ratchet mechanism. It's used to pull objects closer together. It's used alot by welders/Ironworkers. Or it's used to lower/raise an object into place slowly.

Thanks. What is a shackle? Is it like a caribiner clip?

Carter's Toys and Random Things It is kind of. The one I got is a tow shackle for vehicles technically. I think if you Google tow shackle you'll find what you want. I got mine on amazon. The one I got has a 3/4" pin.

Its called a anchor shackle and you probably want the 3/4" anchor shackle. I got 2 on amazon for about $17. I just bought them for a 17" buoy Ill use as a headhunter bag and Im getting a polyform a3 120lb buoy to use as a heavybag alternative. So the 2 shackle pack on amazon works well for me

Hello! The ones I hung it with in the video were from my heavy bag. The chain loop at the top of the bag is from Home Depot. It’s a small section of chain with a closeable metal link that I also bought there. I recently moved the bag to my garage so I bought a new longer chain from Home Depot and two spring snap links (one for the top connection and one to clip to the chain loop on the bag). So long story short... Home Depot. I hope that helps. Have a great day!

@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 Thank you Sir! I'm gonna diy, because the water buoy is only $20+, meaning I just have to attach a chain and it's basicLLy a Tsunami bag.

Sir sorry im trying to buy online buoy, found a 17 x 19 inches. What size is on your video? I wanna buy something that size or bigger. Is it 17 x 19? I dont understand the two dimensions online, it says 17 x 19

So the one I bought was 17 inches round when filled and 19 inches tall. Taylor made calls my model the A3. Here’s a link to Amazon that has the bouy www.amazon.com/Taylor-Made-Products-Inflatable-Vinyl/dp/B085WP43SH You can pick different sizes when you go to buy it. I believe mine is actually the 18 inch one even though I say 17 in the video. I hope that helps.

@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 Thanks sir, this helps a lot. So now I think the one you have , is 18 would be bigger than what I see here says 12 x 14. www.lazada.com.ph//products/i369012553-s835518683.html?spm=a2o4l.cart.0.0.310a3e17Spwy0U&urlFlag=true

Glad to help. If you get one let me know how it goes

Thanks! I think I’m going to get that double ended bag.

Yes

Which 15" buoy did you buy for yours? (This is the size I would like to get, and the filling tab sounds easier on yours) Thanks!

BrownPacker it’s a white one from a boat store I got mine from , it was $59 I think it holds about 55lbs easily

Powercore Boxing and Fitness Thanks for that tip. I took it down to finish my basement, now I’m going to hang it in my garage and I’ll use your tip.

Thanks 🙏

Polyform G Series Boat Fenders. Try this one too. I have some vids with this bag in my channel. It’s awesome just as good as the bags at the gym.

Leave some air in it .. may be softer instead of completely full of water

Stuart Smith Thanks. Let me know how it goes if you make one 👍👍

@@philstolaronek1010 mine comes tomorrow. I'll get back to you. £24.

AnthonyUK 3/8 to 3/4 hose adapter

Bill Yu Yes, infrared JNH Lifestyles sauna in the background. I use it every day for 24 minutes. LOVE IT

Alex Muccilli Thanks! After that video I did end up getting a new pair of boxing gloves. You are correct sir, MUCH BETTER for my hands. Thanks

Thank you!

Adam Freteluco Thanks for the info.

No. The water will wear in a little bit.

can you send me a link to a hose adapter that would work?
