Cobra Reflex Bag VS Double End Bag- WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

[@Jeeksters]

I tried the double end bag for the first time yesterday and the second time I punched it it got mad and hit me back right on my left eye Hahahaha. Shits harder than it looks

[@csquaredboxing]

Lol happens to all of us

[@b-rye8134]

i agree...guess the tension makes a big difference

[@pdswrld5200]

Hahaha You gotta be fast for it not to hit you'Like pro boxer Ryan Garcia😁✌️

[@unclejunebug7178]

How fucking close are you to it??

[@thatdudepulledupmaddogin]

It's not how hard u hit it but how well you hit it. It's great for timing your punches perfect. U think that's hard try a speed bag.

[@aguilar69]

Double end bag, enough said....

[@csquaredboxing]

Yup

[@DanielKimLV]

And it's way cheaper too

[@royrushton3296]

The disadvantage of the double end bag, you need to have somewhere to attache it to. If your in a rental property you may not be allowed to make holes in the ceiling and floor. Whereas the cobra bag is free standing. At the moment I'm using the lonsdale ironman dummy, because I've nowhere to hang a bag.

[@csquaredboxing]

Yup very true

[@bowtie87ss]

This video helped me decide on a double end bag. After using it for over a month, I have no regrets. Great video. Thank you Carlo.

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks brother

[@JimmyJohnson7077]

​@@csquaredboxinghi mate what size double end bag is this?

[@JiggidyJives]

I got tired of replacing the weak bladders that go in my double end bag so I stuffed it with foam. Works great although it likely slows the bag’s response a little.

[@anthonyguzman5285]

I bought a title reflex bag back in 2007 (or earlier, I cant remeber) and it came with an air pump bag instead of the foam material the new ones come with. It works best when its anchored into the ground and when you put some power into your punches you get that satisfying pop and it comes back at you as fast as a double end bag.

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks man good advice

[@craftsmanscutlery6002]

Theres a reason the double end bag is in every gym and the cobra isnt.

[@csquaredboxing]

Definitely true

[@sz7472]

Because double end bags cost around 40$ and cobra literally 300$

[@indelaxiom]

There are some great tutorials on YT if you do want to make a cobra bag.

[@user-tf1vc6hz9f]

because of the price really.

[@doinkclipz8317]

Because they’re easier to maintain and cheaper

[@RTC1655]

The cobra sounds like a squeaky old office chair while the double ended bag sounds like _boxing_ , which does it for me. Besides, you can have intense workouts with hard shots on the double ended as well, you just have to be somewhat good at it to pull it off.

[@Erica-os2mp]

Thanks for the info. I was actually trying to decide between the two and now I will eventually have both

[@csquaredboxing]

Nice, 2 is better than 1

[@karld83]

I loke shadow fighting..in front of mirror. Im broken English so like 👍

[@csquaredboxing]

Nice me too

[@palmtoptiger1405]

Yeah I shadow Box but I’m planning to buy a Bag or Cobra

[@MrDwaynecasey]

I was thinking about adding a cobra bag. But maybe not now. Another downside to the cobra bag may be that it takes up much more space, or that its harder to get out of the way. My reflex bag tucks away nicely. I hear many reviews of the other type where they are sad about them breaking... Thanks. This was the review I was looking for :)😎

[@hardfought1842]

I like how Canelo actually looks like a rookie on the cobra bag compared to Ryan ...but in the actual ring ....😆

[@csquaredboxing]

Yup sometimes there’s more than meets the eye

I like both but I like the cobra bag better in my opinion it simulates more of a real fight situation which is why I like it more and for better head movement that’s just my opinion but both are good tools only down side it’s limited and could break if you go all out which both aren’t meant for that just for head movement,foot work,timing,and reaction stuff Like that

[@csquaredboxing]

Yeah those are good points for sure

[@ericmoonchristopher]

Agreed

[@WarriorsOfYasheral]

Agreed

[@peejuu]

Great video would just like to add that with much more you can do with a double end bag depending on how you set it up I have mine set to loose and that certainly does fly around the harder you punch that faster it comes back and I can even throw combos close to full extension which makes the workout even more difficult when the tapping motion becomes too easy. Don't forget there are also different materials that come with the DEB which also makes the rebound a lot more harder to predict changing the cord to a bungee cord also adds another dimension where by the bag starts to move in an up and down motion (a few inches up and down from centre) as well when you hit it picks up momentum. TIGHT setting for flow and movement Loose for conditioning and simulation of punches coming your way.

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks man!

[@yeetwchybaban]

Ye

[@ffryan]

So true. It becomes almost an entirely different workout training tool depending on the bungee cords you use.

[@jorgecastro4309]

Double end all day!! I just ordered a new one will be in this week!!

[@csquaredboxing]

Right on!

[@sacredboxing]

Good breakdown! I was telling a client of mine that the double end bag is cost effective and is more adjustable 🎯

[@onthebeachinsitges]

I have both. The Boxing Bar reflex bag is too predictable because the weight of the ball means that it arcs predictably. The time it takes to swing from one side of its range to the other is enough to be pretty sure of landing your shot on it. So it isn't very challenging. I use it mostly for footwork drills and it is pretty good for warming up and down. But it adds less technical value than a well set up double ended bag

[@csquaredboxing]

👍🏼🥊

[@inityo]

So basically an air filled reflex bag is the way forward for reflex bags

[@MrGizmoto]

thx for the good review for someone interested to expand one's own fighting art.

[@Tominori70]

$250 bucks! I'll stick with my double end bag.

[@fightguide3778]

Double end bag...next question! :)

[@csquaredboxing]

Yup!

[@yaboijonnydaplug2251]

But how is it better bc to even tho the cobra can break and is expensive if u take Money out of it to hit the cobra u have to have power and be precise so u get 2 in 1 were as the double end u will only get precision

[@d1namis]

@@yaboijonnydaplug2251 nah, not only precision, it's way more random than cobra. Also usually you need a lot more equipment and stuff besides medium bags... Also you can buy smaller and more harder verisons.

[@yaboijonnydaplug2251]

Gonchii Quirogaa everything u just said u get from a cobra bag but cobra u actually use power

[@Luca_Munz]

Dinamis never good for power though, the cobra definitely has the W there

[@juandavid735]

I recently purchased the TITLE Boxing Pro Horizontal Speed Ball. It is kinda of horizontal double end bag, put it is an actual solid leather ball with a much smaller diameter. I think it's great for home if you don't have much room.

[@csquaredboxing]

That’s dope man I’ll check it out

[@ginelleamps]

For the double end bag, you can use the round color codes exercise bands. I have used various poundages and also tried two bands top and bottom. All give different results. I currently use two 80lb. Bands. One top and one bottom. My ceiling height is ten feet. I stretch the bands tight pulling the bands through a ring on the floor and the ceiling and use heavy duty tie wraps and duck tape to secure it. The result is that I get a LOT of resistance. You can deliver power to this thing and not have it go half way across the room. The bands now come with metal clips. I clip on at the bag and cut the clip off the other end, and adjust at the ceiling and the floor.

[@csquaredboxing]

Good info thanks bro

[@reasonable_person9874]

If you already got a heavy bag - get the double end bag. If you don't, get the cobra because it also works on power.

[@csquaredboxing]

👍🏼🥊

[@changethegamenetwork1196]

You did a great job explaining as well as showing what it does

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks man

[@RoseBill423]

Both are good but in my opinion the double end is king for teaching eye to hand coordination. Thank god I got my cobra reflex bag 10 years ago a $160 lol. It's like 300 now lol!! Thank u Ryan Garcia hahaha. Good video my guy. Mabe next video some tips on foot work and head movement? God bless

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks and will do

[@chrismagalona9592]

I improvised my double end bag. I used a small basketball. It is very hard to hit because it is small and it swings faster because of the bounce from the air pressure. Plus maybe I was kinda careless on how I tied it that whenever I punch it I couldn't predict where it was going

[@csquaredboxing]

👍🏼🥊

[@franciscolara6753]

Keep your channel going brother, soon it'll grow, I like the simplicity you bring to boxing👍

[@veroconstancio6822]

Thank you.. Good video was debating which bag to get my son he’s 14 and Boxer, he has a trainer and we are a the gym a lot, so I agree with getting a work out on the cobra vs the double end bag, he needs it more for weaving, bobbing, slipping “Hopefully I said those right lol” and eye coordination, also money wise there’s a big difference in price so we will go with double end bad. Thanks again😊

[@csquaredboxing]

No prob good luck to you guys

[@орчлонертөнццонх]

I’m kinda leaning more towards the reflex bag because it seems like more of a workout.

Yeah you get a little more conditioning with it

[@02phenom]

Double end all day everyday! The title foam infused D.E.B is pretty awesome!

[@csquaredboxing]

Agreed

[@rightdubz]

great tips man! I was on the fence but think I will go with the double end bag for sure.

[@csquaredboxing]

No prob

[@jameslyons6655]

Most people have their double end bags strung too tight. If you have it set up properly a stiff shot should have it coming back to you so you have to block or move not to get hit. Much more useful than the reflex bag. There are some good tutorials on how to make a reflex bag using pvc, they seem to have better action than the commercial models.

[@csquaredboxing]

Agreed, gotta use it to its full potential

[@Maxime_L91]

Got a reflex bag recently. $50 Aus from Kmart. Had to drill holes and bolt the 2 halves together to make it more snug, but now it's pretty damn good. Foam ball is very solid to hit on the rebound, but I don't use gloves. 1/2 hour on that is a a good fun workout, and I have it outside so get some fresh air and sun at the same time. ✊😎

[@csquaredboxing]

Nice!

[@hairyplotter1121]

I remember a kid walking into our gym when I was a kid and the trainer told him to hit the double end bag lightly and he didn’t listen literally as soon as the trainer was walking away he tried to be funny and he hit it as hard as he could it sprang straight back at his face and bust his nose blood everywhere and the trainer just said “told you” 😂

[@csquaredboxing]

😂

[@protectorategeneral]

I’ve tried both and I think double end bag is better.

[@csquaredboxing]

👍🏼

[@n.aminr.7175]

While D end bag goes single plane, I prefer Cobra bag since it goes on both plane (Vertical, Horizontal) simulating actual head movement. And I'm able to practice all kind of punches including upper cut and lower side hit.

[@OsmiumFist]

To make a cobra bag all you need is one of those spring bar exercises you can buy on ebay for $12. Mount a soccer ball onto a toilet plunger. Either make a base out of concrete or buy an umbrella stand base. I could make one for $30. In Australian dollars these are like $400. My home made reflex bag is better than any of those everlast ones.

[@marynarkw]

One advantage, which was not mentioned, of the double end bag that is not as loud as the reflex bag. This is quite important if you have it installed at home.

[@csquaredboxing]

Unless you own a gym i dont think most ppl should get a cobra bag.

[@hhova29]

I love the video. I’m trying to get into boxing for cardio and strength training among free weights I have in the hose because I canceled my gym membership due to COVID. For the price of a cobra bag, I rather invest in a free standing heavy bag. (Any suggestions btw not over $300). I ordered a cheap double end bag on eBay to start. My coworker put up a heavy bag we hit after hours and the workout is great. Wish I could hang a heavy bag since it’s cheaper but I have no where essential to place it as I would have to reinforce my ceiling lol 😆

[@csquaredboxing]

Try century free standing bags

[@jlongobardy1612]

With all due respect, the argument made for the doubleend bag is not tenable nor very persuasive. However: it does in the end tell me that you're oldschool (in spirit at least) and I dig that. At any rate, good work w/ your videos, brother; they're worth the watch.

[@deew9740]

I want a cobra bag and have been looking at them a long time but cost is a factor. I actually just made a double ended bag during quarsntine and it works great. I spend a lot of time on the double ended bag (I want it small and as fast as possible. Ha!) and the speed bag at my gym so needed something for home... Was also thinking about a speed bag but noise and vibration may be a factor for my neighbours if I set it up in my garage since it's attached to my neighbours garage. Still thinking about it and how to noise proof it. Good video though! Thanks!

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks man, cobra bag is nice but not a necessity, the double end bag is a better overall training apparatus

[@skip741x3]

hi dee, I have a couple of ideas to share.. for a double end bag, mine is pretty small ..its made by Title and is a teardrop shape, much like a small speedbag but it has loops on the top and bottom for the bungee cords..that one is fast but it makes noise... i often like to workout late nite and it keeps rattling the cieling... my gym is in basement...so I also made a double end prescision ball, 5 to 6 inches and its a dense foam...I used a coat hanger to make a hole all the way through it and then attached some thin elastic bungee cord to the coat hanger end and pushed it thru the ball...suspend both ends of the elastic ...I have a small eyehook in ceiling and the lower end is tied to a 10 pound dumbell on the floor... the ball is so lite that it doesnt stress the eyehook or move the dumbell..its silent and is great for flow work or slipping and countering...reallly ,anything i would do on the regular double end, can be done on the small one... you dont need the gloves, I just use wraps, but often, i dont even bother with them...its a small target and takes skill to hit it clean... when you are working with prescision , Not having the gloves on takes lots more accuracy becuz ur hands are smaller and ur aiming at a small target,,,,its too easy with the gloves on..... when u find the hieght and tension u want , put a knot in the elastic on each end so that the ball doesnt ride up or fall down the cord... as for parts, i got the ball for a buck at the Dollar store in the kids area and the bungee elastic at walmart in the crafts section.. total cost under `5 bucks..

However I recommend making your double-end bag is tight as possible most of the time and train your muscles to punch faster and better timing. And the only reason you're not getting as satisfied feeling on the double-end bag is because it's clearly way to lose . But if you can afford both I'd recommend both

[@nathrob2437]

Double end bag will always be better in my opinion, the range of motion is far less predictable, the tighter you have it, the easier it will be, the reflex bag is pretty much one motion coming back at you, easier to predict and voids the purpose of it moving in the first place

[@csquaredboxing]

Yup many people agree

[@steve660917]

Really appreciate this info brother thank you so much.

[@csquaredboxing]

[@StarPlatinumSchmidt]

Is there a such thing as a weighted [or aqua] double end bag that could theoretically emulate the resistance of a cobra reflex bag?🤔 Could you fill a double end bladder with water to emulate spring resistance? 🧐🤔 (I would guess, in large part, no. But ey, who knows? 🤷🏼‍♂️)

[@csquaredboxing]

I haven’t seen one yet but that’s an interesting idea

[@aliens8bob1]

Adding resistance to a double end bag would remove one of the bag's major benefits. Using a double end bag trains a fighter to maintain proper form & react appropriately when they miss their target. The feedback that a weighted double end bag would give would nullify that aspect. On the other hand, it's worth a try.

[@syedjawadulhassanjawadulha1544]

Cobra bag SUCKS. Getting a workout on a double end bag isn’t a concern. Its all about precision. Cobra bag takes up too much floor space. Those cobra bags have been out for a long time, too. That dude Ryan Garcia is a kid that picked it up on the way there. It don’t beat the double end bag. In my gym i can unclip all my double end bags and have more room to train for other things. Plus, way cheeper. Boxing gyms don’t have a lot of cash-especially-now. But thats an opinion.
