Additional Information

Due to sand being heavier than water we recommend you fill the base of your sparring bob with sand to avoid any movement of the unit when in use.

Please look out for cheap copies of the BOB and BOB XL. They are manufactured with a vastly inferior material and low quality foam.

They can be spotted easily as they will often not have a height adjustable base. 

Remember if it does not carry the Century logo then it is not an official BOB!

Customer Reviews for Century Sparring Bob XL Freestanding Punch Bag

• 5 out of 5 Century Bob

  Newitts Verified Purchase (14 Dec 2019)

  Very good product just wished it was cheaper. I’ve bought lots of things from Newitts and would definitely recommend them

• 4 out of 5 Century Bob XL

  High quality product even when compared to the older generation of the same model. The head is far softer, which doesn't give real feedback when striking, but I'd say thees less chance of the neck 'ripping' which ive seen a few times in the older version. The body is also slightly softer but feels about right. Regardless of these issues, the Century Bob XL is still a massively useful piece of equipment. A brilliant alternative or use in addition to a heavy bag. Once filled the base is super heavy to move around. I'd suggest filling with water if you plan to move it around alot. The torso easily detaches if you want to leave the base outside or apart from the torso. Alot of money, but you get what you pay for; no other free standing dummy comes close to the quality of Century.

  Easy to assemble and adjust, has realistic anatomical dimensions (as well as feel) and can absolutely take a beating. For powerful strikes, filling the base with sand is definitely the way to go however filling with water still works great for general use.

• 5 out of 5 Century Bob

  Newitts Verified Purchase (7 Oct 2016)

  I had used a Century Bob at the Fight Science club so already knew it would be good. You can fill the base with water but it does still move when you give him a pasting so I would recommend wetted sand as it is about another 50% denser and so heavier. I keep the base outside and take Bob off and bring him in when not in use, but as the weather becomes colder I will have to bring it all in to protect from freezing.

• 5 out of 5 Bob is great :)

  We are very pleased with this product. Now, our self-defence course provides a richer experience for our students. Bob is great for practicing different types of punches.

• 5 out of 5 Great product

  Newitts Verified Purchase (26 May 2016)

  Delivered quickly, well packaged. Filled mine with water. No problems so far. Expensive compared to the half size version but more striking points and more realistic. Buy it, you won't regret it.

  Newitts Verified Purchase (18 Mar 2015)

  Very well made and is an excellent training aid for boxing, Krav Maga, kick boxing etc. Very easy and quick to assemble, I chose to fill the base with builders sand to prevent much movement when being hit. Don't be tempted by cheaper and inferior products. I'd recommend this to anyone who trains in striking sports.
