Do you find that the thickness of the arms with just the noodles inside is enough? I’m thinking about wrapping it with some rags for extra thickness, or just placing pvc pipes inside the noodle arms to make them stiffer. Thank you for the video. Simple and straightforward.

I have wrapped extra rags around noodles. It all depends on your specific dummy. If it will fit then give it a try. PVC could also help with rigidity if you need that.

I find the arms come away after regular use. Unsure how to prevent that. The leather just tears and eventually the arms drop off.
@andellalexander8 ай бұрын
That does happen over time from pulling on the arm. The heavier you make the dummy the faster it may rip from pulling on the arm. For general use I would avoid making the dummy too heavy. You can duct tape the arms just like you would a heavy bag as it begins to rip. That’s one of the downsides that comes with excessive use. Keep the weight to under 25lbs.

I think sand will be too heavy and the material will end up ripping at the seams. Also you can’t just put sand as it will need to be in bags that won’t burst as you will have sand leaking everywhere.

It’s just to give it some rigidity to simulate limbs. We have stuffed them with cloth only as well. That will work as well but it will be heavier and more dead weight (good for throws). The noodles will also help reduce the amount of stuffing needed.

Do you think adding multiple noodles in each leg would add more stability or do you recommend an alternative material? I stuffed my dummy too heavily and it collapsed & I gave up. I want it to be moderately heavy & still be able to stand
@andellalexander Жыл бұрын
If you stuff too much into the dummy it Will definitely feel heavier as that’s a lot of dead weight. If the noodles you are using are very thin then you can try two noodles. You can also try the non hollow thicker noodles so you only need one and that will also limit the amount of stuffing. Also if the chest area is too heavy you can try a small pillow and surround that will rags. I have had dummies that weight 30 pounds all the way to 60 pounds. Heavier will make you sweat more. But for the most part you are using the dummy to drill certain techniques so you probably don’t need to much weight anyways. A live training partner will be ideal for learning to deal with weight and movement etc.
