Filler for boxing bag

Charlie Conway

Hi, i receievd a present of a boxing bag but unfortunatley it is too light, would anyone be able to suggest a suitable (cheap) filler to replace the fluff inside the bag.
Thanks for any suggestions

If you get a tube or piece of pipe sealed at one end that fits into the bag and fill it with sand or similar than use the exisiting filler to wrap that.

Thanks very much for your reply. The existing filler is way to soft to hit so my punches would be hitting the pipe in the centre of the bag. Im thinking of filling the bag with a real fine sand or sawdust or something similar i just dont know what would suit best

Any old clothes lying around, cut them up and stuff them in tight

First you want to add a few small bags of sand in the bottom. Lots of smaller bags are better than one big bag.
This will help keep the bag hanging plum when jabbed and hooked etc.
The best filling is shredded fabric rammed down hard into the case with a piece of wood.
Don't fill it with sand or sawdust as you will break your hands.
Shredded fabric is firm, but has the right amount of give like hitting human flesh.
It will take time, but cutting up decorators dust sheets, bedsheets, duvet covers, into squares will give you the best result.
One doesn't need to add too many sand bags in the bottom, 20kg of sand will be enough to weight it down.
The rest of the bag can be filled with packed fabric, and that alone will add enough weight.
Cutting up the sheets into squares will be laborious, but much better feel to the bag than stuffing whole sheets in.
Reason being, there will be less air pockets, and it will be more evenly filled all the way round the bag.
I hope this helps.
