FUN!!

I wanted something that you can get anyone to hold and you still get to blast away at it. Check!
It's built well with good sized handles, the straps for your shoulders are loose and really just designed to allow you to be more stable when holding and just to hang during training rounds.
The viewing gap is ok sized as you pretty much just tron forward as the hitter goes to town on you.
As for striking, it works really well. It's surface is pretty rock hard to begin with but as with any pad it'll soften up through use.
So yeah, for gym use or for family bbq fun this thing is great,just dont strap little 5 year old jimmy into the thing. lol.
