Adjustable Adult Punching Ball - Black

The spring has bent by some degree

Bought for my son and he’s well leased with it.

Bought the product last year and rarely used it as I was not at home and locked down in another city. I did some light punching on it as i already had the feeling that this product isn't made for heavy or medium punching. However, the spring base broke off and the product is now useless. I contacted for warranty claim, but they said since it's the plastic part on which the attached spring has broken, so it's not under claim. If the base itself is made of plastic, wouldn't it break even with light punching? Also why is it costing INR 4,999 if the base is plastic and you can't issue warranty claim on that..the product is of no use without its base. Very disappointed with decathlon with this product. Your other products are much better

The spring disconnected and broke off the base completely. Please help as soon as possible.

Offers excellent resistance and rebound. Adjustable height. Good both for kids and adults.

I boxed many years ago and used Cobra and Reflex bags, this one is great, and really made me nostalgic for the good ol' days.

I have had two of these, and to be fair to the product, I really tested it's durability, most customers would hit it much softer than I did.

The main thing I see on the reviews of this is that the screw in join come's flying off, to stop this happening, by adding a thin tape or even elastic band will stop it popping off so much.

The other thing I see in reviews is that the ball came loose from the bolt, also when you are assembling it, make sure you add an elastic band imbedded when tightening the bolt.

These are the 2 key factors that should give you optimum use of a good product.

Also, don't fill it with sand, there is no need to fill it with sand, water is fine because the spring negates the impact to the base.

If you are a big hitter or used the ones at the boxing gym I wouldn't recommend... it has a big design weakness, the coil is tightened on to reinforced hard plastic (what were the designers thinking?), I had 2 of these and had to send back the both for this reason, although the first one had other issues.

And again for the big hitters, reinforce the ball by tightening it in electrical or gaffer tape, as the seam will break and the actual ball will break.

In summary this is a really good product, but if you are looking to use it like the boxing gyms, you'd be wise to get a more expensive one.

But for regular users, I very much recommend it, it's great fun and for £50 it's a good deal.

Also I had such a good experience with the online team at decathlon, I wish they would stock more boxing related items, a really good company on support.

the spring mechanism is mounted to a plastic shaft that broke. It should be a steel shaft

Superb quality....

Not good quality

The bottom of the equipment needs to be filled with sand . The sand affects the screws and results in the screw being defective .defective design and functionality ..
