I like both. I prefer a Bob though because I can teach my students where on the torso to strike and they can practice on a Bob. I also like to practice the same stuff on it. They are good for getting the feel of hook kicking to the back of the head. I like them the best over all.

I like both as well, but for practicing strike placement and things like that, the bob's good, while the other I like using for improving power/speed in my kicks/punches.

I prefer hanging bags, but out of the XXL and the Bob, I'd say to get the Bob.

I like this one from Ringside with the Thai attachment. It is much sturdier than the wavemasters and doesn't move around as much.

They also sell the bob as a hanging dummy, one strap above the head and two below the torso....kinda hangs like the old double end stricking ball.
I like the one with the base more...
