Overview of the TITAN 8 Bag boxing stand

The TITAN 8 bag boxing stand is the biggest boxing stand you can get from TITAN. If you have space and can bolt it to the ground it is a solid tool to get more bags up in a commercial gym with high ceilings. In other scenarios, it is probably overkill. The full specifications of this stand are:

- 360-degree access to each bag.

- 8 Eye hooks to hang bags.

- Can be collapsed into a 4 bag stand.

- Material: 3-in x 3-in steel tubing.

- Capacity: 300 lbs. per Hook | 2400 lbs.total

This is a massive rig to hang bags on which leaves you with a solid foundation and a lot of space to work with your boxing clients.

Pros of the TITAN 8 Bag boxing stand

The pros of the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand are:

Many eyehooks
Space to circle the bags
Solid rig

This is a solid solution and I especially like it because you can work with different bag configurations to maximize free movement around them. If you want to hang a lot of bags whilst having the space to navigate around them, then this is the best you can get from TITAN.

Cons of the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand

The cons of the 8 Bag boxing stand from TITAN are:

Size
Price

Do you really need 8 bags in your gym and want to pay about $1000 just to have a station to hang them on? I think for most people and commercial gyms the answer will be no. Especially, if the ceilings are low and you can use them to hang bags.

Alternatives to the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand

The alternatives for the TITAN 8 bag boxing bag are:

Out of the entire TITAN boxing stand line up, I like this one the least. The reason os that the uprights are too close to the bags in this setup. It limits how you can move around the bag even though you are paying extra bucks to them mounted. If you need a lot of bags, go for the 8 bag stand and leave some space. If you want to hang 4 bags, get two of the two bag heavy stands from TITAN so you can decide how far you want to put them apart.

The heavy-duty 2 bag stand is a great option to hang four bags but with more space between the individual bags. With this you can move freely around the bags, while still being able to hang some pretty heavy ones.

Conclusion for the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand

The 8 bag heavy stand is a great option when you want to hang a lot of bags in your gym while still being able to circle around them

Pros of the TITAN 88lb Heavy boxing punching bag

The Pros of the 88lb Heavy boxing punching bag:

Price
Design

This is a well-priced bag that does what it says on the tin. The design is understated so it will fit many different gyms. With this bag, you can start or buy in bulk for your commercial gym without breaking the bank.

Cons of the TITAN 88lb Heavy boxing punching bag

The cons of the TITAN 88lb Heavy boxing punching bag are:

Not the most durable boxing bag
Does not come in a set

Compared to high-end boxing bags ranging from 400 to 600 Dollars this is not the most durable, fanciest, or hardcore bag. You can get bags filled with water, pebbles, and all kinds of media and made of a stronger leather than this one. So if you have the Klitschko brothers pounding your bag day in and out maybe get something a little more solid.

This bag is only a bag for putting $100 on the table. With a bit of research, you can find some deals for slightly more where you get the gloves and some other small items thrown into the trolley too.

Alternatives to the TITAN 88lb Heavy boxing punching bag

The power strike punching bag is an alternative to the 88lb that is easier to move around and swings more, especially when kicked. This is the better bag when you only want to box and get the bag off the hook easily and often.

The Muay Thai boxing bag is a good alternative to the 88lb bag that costs slightly more but is therefore longer. This will enable you to also practice low kicks on this bag while giving up a little bit of thickness compared to the 88lb bag.

The pivoting reflex training bar is a great alternative to another 88lb bag to train your reflexes for blocking and ducking. The bar will spin and hit you when you give it a push if you do not get your guard up in time or duck away.

The RDX free standing punch bag is about $100 more than the TITAN 88lb punch bag. The big advantage is that you do not hook this bag up to the wall or the ceiling. To provide stability it can be filled with sand or water at the base. One big downside of free-standing punch bags is the base itself. As it is there, you can not get up close to the bag to simulate fighting and clinching.

The RDX heavy punching bag might be the better choice for beginners as you can get it in a nice set with gloves, a wall-mount, and other extras. This will only be slightly more than $100.

The RDX hanging filled face might not be the first boxing bag you are getting it maybe the second. It simulates the shape of a body with a face on it without costing you the money of a terry torso.

Conclusion for the TITAN 88lb Heavy boxing punching bag

The 88lb TITAN heavy boxing punching bag is a great extra to throw into your shopping basket if you intend to build an entire gym with TITAN. Just get the bag and something to hook it on the wall on the same delivery as the rest. If you buy in bulk because all of your boxing bags in your boxing gym need to be replaced this is also a good bet. Just keep 1 - 5 of the more expensive bags for your veterans but for beginners, this is more than enough.
