Did this today with the 15inch diameter buoy & wow this works. I didn’t have to make any holes though I just pulled the whole tab out and plugged my hose adapter in and filled it. I did 2 20 min workouts with it and I was hitting it hard so far it’s amazing better than expected. Way better than spending hundreds for the exact same thing especially with everyone boosting the prices right now
@@afkaustin they are made to hold air originally. My 9" aqua bag came pumped with air in the box so no creases for me, it was 50% off too which put it at the same price as the marine version
Nice work, good tips. Keep putting in that work. It’s cool to get the kids involved. My 14 year old just asked for this type bag for his bday (already working with heavy bag, speed bag and double end bag- highly recommend the later)
Thanks for explaining the attachment you found! You could try more air instead of water to make it softer and use a high quality 16 oz boxing gloves (e.g. Twins Special, Windy, Fairtex). What would I use to attach it to an outdoor pull-up bar, strong plank, or tree branch for outdoor workouts for clients? Adjustable straps would allow us to change the height for different people and uses. Think of the adjustable straps on a double-end bag.
Looking to get one of these to try out. Had decided on the A2 but after watching your video I now have a better idea of the sizes and have changed that to an A3. Thanks
All kindness- this inspired me to get a buoy for my gym. Your hands are around your chest because your target is too low. If you hang it a few inches higher you can put your hands up properly and it will make your other punches like hooks and uppercuts feel more natural.
hang the bag a little higher. Center of the bag should be just above shoulder height. That will put the impact on your top knuckles. And get boxing gloves with the padding on the front. Great Video thanks for sharing!
I used the same thing as a punching bag. I would really suggest, especially for children. You can use a 1/4 tone ratcheted come-a-long. They are not the cheapest. But worth it. Plus both of the hooks on the come-a- long swivel. So the chain will not spin and bind. I agree it is harder, but in softens the impact on your hands joints by a million. Remember to get a shackle for the bouy to hang on the come-a- long. I bought all products at AIH here in Alaska. But I bet they have those products in you towns hardware store
Come-a-long is chain with two hooks at each end, with a ratchet mechanism. It's used to pull objects closer together. It's used alot by welders/Ironworkers. Or it's used to lower/raise an object into place slowly.
But I thought they were the exact same product? I have one of each, and they both say Taylor Made on it, and feel the same. Although I haven’t filled the generic buoy up yet. I have the smaller headhunter bag from Aqua, and the big ass A4 buoy. I hope I made the right choice! Waiting for my hanging shit to arrive so I can try it out
@@davidmccarthy3562 There is one major difference tho, that I’m not sure how they achieved, the blow hole for the generic ones does NOT accommodate the punching sensors like the brand named ones do. I ended up hanging and trying both types

Thanks for the tip. Aqua bags are used by boxers as an alternative to the maize bag which are purposefully extra heavy and hard so it can be used to train punching strength. Aqua bags will be more gentle on wrists compared to the maize bag but of course it will be hard because it's filled with water which is a lot heavier than the normal filling for heavy bags which can be a mix of foam, wadding, sand, rice or maize. And this is the point. If you want something soft & light to hit with bare hands get a double end bag or better still make one out of a soccer ball and elastic cord.
If you want to increase the life span of your Aqua bag get a Shackle to hang it from. Cost me around 10 dollars for a 57k lbs rated one and fits the hanging hole perfectly.
Carter's Toys and Random Things It is kind of. The one I got is a tow shackle for vehicles technically. I think if you Google tow shackle you'll find what you want. I got mine on amazon. The one I got has a 3/4" pin.
Its called a anchor shackle and you probably want the 3/4" anchor shackle. I got 2 on amazon for about $17. I just bought them for a 17" buoy Ill use as a headhunter bag and Im getting a polyform a3 120lb buoy to use as a heavybag alternative. So the 2 shackle pack on amazon works well for me
Shafiul Chowdhury it was a standard vinyl patch for a pool or pool toy. Considering it’s getting close to summer you can probably go down to your local pool section and pick up a vinyl patch. Good luck.

Hello! The ones I hung it with in the video were from my heavy bag. The chain loop at the top of the bag is from Home Depot. It’s a small section of chain with a closeable metal link that I also bought there. I recently moved the bag to my garage so I bought a new longer chain from Home Depot and two spring snap links (one for the top connection and one to clip to the chain loop on the bag). So long story short... Home Depot. I hope that helps. Have a great day!
@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 Thank you Sir! I'm gonna diy, because the water buoy is only $20+, meaning I just have to attach a chain and it's basicLLy a Tsunami bag.
Sir sorry im trying to buy online buoy, found a 17 x 19 inches. What size is on your video? I wanna buy something that size or bigger. Is it 17 x 19? I dont understand the two dimensions online, it says 17 x 19
So the one I bought was 17 inches round when filled and 19 inches tall. Taylor made calls my model the A3. Here’s a link to Amazon that has the bouy www.amazon.com/Taylor-Made-Products-Inflatable-Vinyl/dp/B085WP43SH You can pick different sizes when you go to buy it. I believe mine is actually the 18 inch one even though I say 17 in the video. I hope that helps.
@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 Thanks sir, this helps a lot. So now I think the one you have , is 18 would be bigger than what I see here says 12 x 14. www.lazada.com.ph//products/i369012553-s835518683.html?spm=a2o4l.cart.0.0.310a3e17Spwy0U&urlFlag=true
Well.. I have not tried that, but if it were me, I would take some dish soap and mix it up in a bowl of water. Then I would brush that water on the bag and if there is an air leak, theoretically you should see bubbles. I hope that helps. Have a great day
Pham Hoang Anh Kiet. Great question. I’m not 100% sure. I can hold it without struggle so I’m going to say it’s around 80 - 100 pounds. Sorry I can’t be more definitive. Thanks for watching
Phil Stolaronek Thanks for the reply. I talked to a local shop that sells these buoys for boat, yatch. They have no idea what an aqua bag is 😄. I purchased a white a3 already. I think 100lbs may not be a problem if I hang it to a steel beam in my house. Thanks again.
Phil Stolaronek Mine just arrived last Friday, it is totally fine. I hung it to 2 secured steel i beam with 2 springs to eliminate the shaking. Is the rubber at hanging part distorted because of the weight. Thank you for answering.
Pham Hoang Anh Kiet Awesome. Glad to hear u got yours up. No, mine is not distorted at the hanging part. Does yours look like it’s going to break or anything?
Phil Stolaronek It was distorted a little bit, but then I used a plastic pipe to cover the chain, everything is fine now. By the way, the bag to me is super heavy. I filled it in half, then put it to the chain, then used water bottle to fill it. You are so strong to carry it in full. It is time to get in shape. 💪
The only difference I can tell is the boat buoy is thicker material harder cheaper but the eye is not as strong have had 2 a4 buoys filled with water both eye has broke same place Aqua still going strong but buoy meant for air do maybe Aqua had a strengthened eye to carry the weight
There's a bouy that's cheeper... but the problem for me is that the bouy has a tiny hole without that screw piece ....can I still fill it up with water without it leaking ?
EllY PALILEO Honestly, I don’t know. I would think you’d have to seal it somehow. Maybe duct tape over the hole??? Or plug it with some sort of putty. Sorry I can’t be of more help. Have a great day!
@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 The Bible teaches that God is holy, just, merciful, gracious, loving, and sole creator(Genesis 1:1, Psalm 24:1). The Bible also teaches that man is born with a dreadful sin nature(Psalm 51:5, Ephesians 2:3) and transgressed God's law(Romans 3:23). Since God is the righteous judge, He will punish sinners according to His eternal standard. According to God's word, that punishment is an eternal,physical, and conscious torment(Daniel 12:2,Matthew 25:41, Matthew 3:12, Revelations 14:10-11, Revelations 20:10) in Hell-separated forever from the goodness of God. The good news is that God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ who is equally eternal(John 1:1) and equal in rank and importance(John 5:18, John 10:30) to the Father and the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin to be the means for escape from the domain of darkness and wrath of God for those who repent and believe the gospel. Jesus lived a sinless life and voluntarily and lovingly died on the cross by taking upon Himself our sin and the wrath of God that His elect deserve. Jesus was buried and resurrected(1 Corinthians 15:1-5) on the third day from the grave- demonstrating His power over sin and death and is seated at the right hand of the Father (Ephesians 1:20-23). Your good works or deeds of the Law are not sufficient. Jesus who is fully God and fully man is the complete and perfect sacrifice. It is not grace plus merit, faith plus works, or even Christ plus unrighteous man that will justify the sinner. As a vile wretch, you can be be justified(declared right before God) by only free grace alone, through faith alone and in Christ alone(Romans 3:28, Ephesians 2:8-9). Will you repent(a change of mind that results in the abandonment of sin and turning to the Lord Jesus Christ) and trust in this unchanging Gospel(Mark 1:15) or will you remain an enemy of God?
I bought a garden hose attachment at Walmart that fit into the air hole. I then poked a hole in the air hole compartment so that the water would flow in properly and then I filled it up slowly. I went slowly because it was splashing everywhere when I went fast. I hope this helps.
@@shamimulhoque903 DON’T poke the hole in the bag, BUT.. do poke the hole in the area where you can insert air. The reason I poked the hole was because there is something that prevents air from escaping so that piece makes it harder to fill it with water. I poked it with an Awl. If you’re not familiar it’s a tool that looks like a screw driver but instead of a Phillips or flat head, it has a sharp end. If you don’t have one you can probably just use a Philip’s screwdriver to poke out that piece. If you’re nervous about it you could try filling it without poking the hole but it didn’t work great for me without the hole. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
I advise you to get boxing gloves instead of MMA gloves to hit this. You're going to tear the skin on your finger knuckles if they make contact with the bag and you're putting any kind of heat behind your punch.
It has it's pros and cons but the cons of this are that it's made for boats as for Agua it was made for punching. I understand where it comes with being cheap but boat buoys wouldn't last longer. like I said it has more cons than pros
Interesting. I haven’t done much research. I have heard that they have the same patent. I don’t have skin in the game either way. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day
Ha ha. Thanks. Will do. 👍🥊💯… I am actually editing my comment because I haven’t watched this video in a while and I just noticed how low the bag was when I was shooting this video… and that my guard was quite low. I’ve actually moved the bag to my garage and have raised it closer to my head level so I definitely don’t drop my guard as much when it’s in a raised position. HOWEVER, even if it’s lower I know I should keep my guard up and bend my knees to get lower 👍👍
It probably feels harder because you are using mma gloves on a small compact bag lol. I see a lot of guys using these gloves when they are doing bag work...its silly...you are going to wreck your hands and by the time you are 60 you probably wont be able to make a fist. If you are 180+lbs you should be using 16oz gloves for bag work. Pad work is a bit different...you can use a smaller glove for pad work but I still wouldnt recommend MMA gloves unless you are doing an MMA fight and doing small glove training. Most professionals use 14/16oz for their training. Also, you mention you only do it for exercise and conditioning...a pair of 16oz gloves will give you more of a workout than these 4oz mma hand breakers lol. God speed!

Alejandro Abraham Hello. It’s an A3. If you look up Taylor Made Boat Fender size chart you can see it. It’s 1 1/2 feet tall and about 50 inches round when filled with water. I’m not 100% sure, but I think it’s like buying the large size Aqua Bag. Hope that helps. Have a great day 👍👊💥
I don’t know exactly but I’d say 50 pounds. It’s not super heavy, but I need an assist when I’m hanging it up. I hold, the other person locks it into place.

A3 is a good size does get a bit heavy. I also got a A1 I use for a head hunter

So basically, companies just print their branding on the surface and sell it for a much higher price. Wow...

yes, but after shipping and what not, amazon from ringside vs. a boating company is roughly the same

Water level has a direct effect on stiffness. 80% is softer vs 90% is harder. And you can use a 3/8” female to male garden hose adapter.

Hi. Where did you buy the chains for it? Thanks.
Hello! The ones I hung it with in the video were from my heavy bag. The chain loop at the top of the bag is from Home Depot. It’s a small section of chain with a closeable metal link that I also bought there. I recently moved the bag to my garage so I bought a new longer chain from Home Depot and two spring snap links (one for the top connection and one to clip to the chain loop on the bag). So long story short... Home Depot. I hope that helps. Have a great day!
@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 Thank you Sir! I'm gonna diy, because the water buoy is only $20+, meaning I just have to attach a chain and it's basicLLy a Tsunami bag.
Sir sorry im trying to buy online buoy, found a 17 x 19 inches. What size is on your video? I wanna buy something that size or bigger. Is it 17 x 19? I dont understand the two dimensions online, it says 17 x 19
So the one I bought was 17 inches round when filled and 19 inches tall. Taylor made calls my model the A3. Here’s a link to Amazon that has the bouy www.amazon.com/Taylor-Made-Products-Inflatable-Vinyl/dp/B085WP43SH You can pick different sizes when you go to buy it. I believe mine is actually the 18 inch one even though I say 17 in the video. I hope that helps.
@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 Thanks sir, this helps a lot. So now I think the one you have , is 18 would be bigger than what I see here says 12 x 14. www.lazada.com.ph//products/i369012553-s835518683.html?spm=a2o4l.cart.0.0.310a3e17Spwy0U&urlFlag=true
👏🏼👍🏼👌🏼
Can use water to find an air leak 😉
Well.. I have not tried that, but if it were me, I would take some dish soap and mix it up in a bowl of water. Then I would brush that water on the bag and if there is an air leak, theoretically you should see bubbles. I hope that helps. Have a great day
Hi Phil. Thanks for uploading the videos. Great instruction. Could you please tell me how does this A3 weight after fillled? Thank you.
Pham Hoang Anh Kiet. Great question. I’m not 100% sure. I can hold it without struggle so I’m going to say it’s around 80 - 100 pounds. Sorry I can’t be more definitive. Thanks for watching
Phil Stolaronek Thanks for the reply. I talked to a local shop that sells these buoys for boat, yatch. They have no idea what an aqua bag is 😄. I purchased a white a3 already. I think 100lbs may not be a problem if I hang it to a steel beam in my house. Thanks again.
Phil Stolaronek Mine just arrived last Friday, it is totally fine. I hung it to 2 secured steel i beam with 2 springs to eliminate the shaking. Is the rubber at hanging part distorted because of the weight. Thank you for answering.
Pham Hoang Anh Kiet Awesome. Glad to hear u got yours up. No, mine is not distorted at the hanging part. Does yours look like it’s going to break or anything?
Phil Stolaronek It was distorted a little bit, but then I used a plastic pipe to cover the chain, everything is fine now. By the way, the bag to me is super heavy. I filled it in half, then put it to the chain, then used water bottle to fill it. You are so strong to carry it in full. It is time to get in shape. 💪
What's the thing in the back? A sauna?
Bill Yu Yes, infrared JNH Lifestyles sauna in the background. I use it every day for 24 minutes. LOVE IT
you should raise it higher to eye level so you can hit upper cuts but great video!
Liam Sauble Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
How heavy do you think it is?
Alejandro Abraham Hello! I’m going to say it’s probably 60 - 70 pounds. Hope that helps.
Phil Stolaronek How do you fill it up with water?
another dude with the same setup said it's 120 pounds.
So the actual material isnt like a hard plastic?
No, it’s like a very heavy vinyl material
The only difference I can tell is the boat buoy is thicker material harder cheaper but the eye is not as strong have had 2 a4 buoys filled with water both eye has broke same place Aqua still going strong but buoy meant for air do maybe Aqua had a strengthened eye to carry the weight
Thank you I was hoping I wouldn't have to return it.
When you say return it, what do you mean? Thanks for watching!
@@carterstoysandrandomthings6466 I meant return the water bag.
There's a bouy that's cheeper... but the problem for me is that the bouy has a tiny hole without that screw piece ....can I still fill it up with water without it leaking ?
EllY PALILEO Honestly, I don’t know. I would think you’d have to seal it somehow. Maybe duct tape over the hole??? Or plug it with some sort of putty. Sorry I can’t be of more help. Have a great day!

The Bible teaches that God is holy, just, merciful, gracious, loving, and sole creator(Genesis 1:1, Psalm 24:1). The Bible also teaches that man is born with a dreadful sin nature(Psalm 51:5, Ephesians 2:3) and transgressed God's law(Romans 3:23). Since God is the righteous judge, He will punish sinners according to His eternal standard. According to God's word, that punishment is an eternal,physical, and conscious torment(Daniel 12:2,Matthew 25:41, Matthew 3:12, Revelations 14:10-11, Revelations 20:10) in Hell-separated forever from the goodness of God. The good news is that God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ who is equally eternal(John 1:1) and equal in rank and importance(John 5:18, John 10:30) to the Father and the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin to be the means for escape from the domain of darkness and wrath of God for those who repent and believe the gospel. Jesus lived a sinless life and voluntarily and lovingly died on the cross by taking upon Himself our sin and the wrath of God that His elect deserve. Jesus was buried and resurrected(1 Corinthians 15:1-5) on the third day from the grave- demonstrating His power over sin and death and is seated at the right hand of the Father (Ephesians 1:20-23). Your good works or deeds of the Law are not sufficient. Jesus who is fully God and fully man is the complete and perfect sacrifice. It is not grace plus merit, faith plus works, or even Christ plus unrighteous man that will justify the sinner. As a vile wretch, you can be be justified(declared right before God) by only free grace alone, through faith alone and in Christ alone(Romans 3:28, Ephesians 2:8-9). Will you repent(a change of mind that results in the abandonment of sin and turning to the Lord Jesus Christ) and trust in this unchanging Gospel(Mark 1:15) or will you remain an enemy of God?
How did you fill this bag?
I bought a garden hose attachment at Walmart that fit into the air hole. I then poked a hole in the air hole compartment so that the water would flow in properly and then I filled it up slowly. I went slowly because it was splashing everywhere when I went fast. I hope this helps.
@Phil Stolaronek thanks. I'm scared to poke the hole. what did you poke it with?
@@shamimulhoque903 DON’T poke the hole in the bag, BUT.. do poke the hole in the area where you can insert air. The reason I poked the hole was because there is something that prevents air from escaping so that piece makes it harder to fill it with water. I poked it with an Awl. If you’re not familiar it’s a tool that looks like a screw driver but instead of a Phillips or flat head, it has a sharp end. If you don’t have one you can probably just use a Philip’s screwdriver to poke out that piece. If you’re nervous about it you could try filling it without poking the hole but it didn’t work great for me without the hole. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
@@thesecretofthematrix8352 I used a 5mm drill bit on a hammer drill. But it took me 90 mins to fill the bag.
@@shamimulhoque903 Well.. it took a while to fill, but now you’re all set for a long time. Best of luck!
I advise you to get boxing gloves instead of MMA gloves to hit this. You're going to tear the skin on your finger knuckles if they make contact with the bag and you're putting any kind of heat behind your punch.
Alex Muccilli Thanks! After that video I did end up getting a new pair of boxing gloves. You are correct sir, MUCH BETTER for my hands. Thanks
This is exactly what they do. The Aqua training bag company has a patent.
It has it's pros and cons but the cons of this are that it's made for boats as for Agua it was made for punching. I understand where it comes with being cheap but boat buoys wouldn't last longer. like I said it has more cons than pros
Interesting. I haven’t done much research. I have heard that they have the same patent. I don’t have skin in the game either way. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day
I know you said you're not a boxer and do this for fitness, but dude try to keep your guard up it will burn you out more and will be a good habit
Ha ha. Thanks. Will do. 👍🥊💯… I am actually editing my comment because I haven’t watched this video in a while and I just noticed how low the bag was when I was shooting this video… and that my guard was quite low. I’ve actually moved the bag to my garage and have raised it closer to my head level so I definitely don’t drop my guard as much when it’s in a raised position. HOWEVER, even if it’s lower I know I should keep my guard up and bend my knees to get lower 👍👍
It probably feels harder because you are using mma gloves on a small compact bag lol. I see a lot of guys using these gloves when they are doing bag work...its silly...you are going to wreck your hands and by the time you are 60 you probably wont be able to make a fist. If you are 180+lbs you should be using 16oz gloves for bag work. Pad work is a bit different...you can use a smaller glove for pad work but I still wouldnt recommend MMA gloves unless you are doing an MMA fight and doing small glove training. Most professionals use 14/16oz for their training. Also, you mention you only do it for exercise and conditioning...a pair of 16oz gloves will give you more of a workout than these 4oz mma hand breakers lol. God speed!
Google User Thanks. I actually picked up a pair of 16 oz. gloves and it’s made it much easier.
@@philstolaronek1010 great.. Get that work in... Remember it's not only for the cardio... As a man.. You have an obligation to protect your family. If you wish for peace, best prepare for war.
Google User better to be warrior in the garden than a Gardner in a war.
@@philstolaronek1010 A lesson not learned in blood is forgotten.
lol I bare knuckle box and hit harder shit than this if you know how to throw a punch your good .
It's all about form
What size is that
Alejandro Abraham Hello. It’s an A3. If you look up Taylor Made Boat Fender size chart you can see it. It’s 1 1/2 feet tall and about 50 inches round when filled with water. I’m not 100% sure, but I think it’s like buying the large size Aqua Bag. Hope that helps. Have a great day 👍👊💥
Phil Stolaronek do you know how much it weights for this size?
Alejandro Abraham I’m going to give you a guesstimate from picking it up. It probably weighs around 70 pounds.
Polyform?
Yes
What size is it, A3 or A4?
B B I believe he said A3
Which is the biggest
@@delrichardson8365 a7, which is almost 5 feet tall. Good luck with that.
If you live near the ocean, they float up on the beaches after a good storm.
How much does it weigh
I don’t know exactly but I’d say 50 pounds. It’s not super heavy, but I need an assist when I’m hanging it up. I hold, the other person locks it into place.
you can find that buoy on aliexpress for like 18 bucks
Weight information would be nice.w
Hello! Not 100% sure. I’d say 50 - 75 pounds
What size is this bag?
1:15
I bought the aqua bag instead for the liability.
Johnny Lira Cool. Are u using it in a gym or at your home?
get 16oz boxing gloves bro
Done. Thanks
I would advise you to put in less water. And use 16 ounce boxing gloves.
ChrischrosBelgium Thanks. I did get the 16oz gloves. Now I’ll try less water.
What are you talking about? That was world class boxing, id pick you over Logan Paul or any of those clowns any day.
AzizR LOL... thanks. I’m thinking of going for Anthony Joshua. Lol. 😂😂. Have a great day!! 👍👍
Idk why he didn’t just fill it up outside.
People need to go through their own process. Thanks for commenting. Happy hitting 🥊
but a Aqua Bag is only $125
there has to be a testing differnce between buoys that hold air and float.. vs a bag that holds water and is hit. there's a difference.
According to what I’ve heard, it’s the same patent, but I don’t know for sure. It works well for my purposes. Thanks for the comment
Yang pilih allah like.
Good enough video as far as information, but stop rambling on about things that don't apply to the video.
HA! It's my video, I'll do what I want.... LOL. I'm glad you liked the non-rambling part. Let me tell you about the time...... oops... rambling again.... Have a nice day!
Not a Taylor made buoy
you're right brian that is not a taylor made buoy ha ha ha ha
Don’t buy this ducking crap if you live in Canada
