Die boksman is van harde kunststof?

(probeer even door de reclame gepraat heen te "kijken")

Hij is duurzaam
De SlamMan's basis en torso zijn gemaakt van hoge concentratie, verstevigde polyethyleen... vergelijkbaar met de harde en duurzame materialen die in de automobiele industrie gebruikt worden. Het is duurzaam!

Je kan er hard op slaan
De topkwaliteit van het schuim gebruikt voor de oppervlakte vangt de klappen op. Het maakt niet uit hoe vaak je op hetzelfde punt slaat, het schuim is zo gemaakt dat het altijd in de originele staat herstelt... zonder kreukels of scheuren.

BOB might not be a human opponent, but he's about closest thing there is to one. Standing for Body Opponent Bag, BOB is a height adjustable, super-sturdy human style target for your hardest kicks and punches. Stronger and more stable than a standard punchbag, knocking seven bells out of BOB is immensely satisfying as well as giving you a great workout.

Built with a durable urethane foam filled inner cavity, BOB even has high strength plastisol ‘skin' for an extra realistic look and feel. You don't even have to wear boxing gloves; BOB can be struck with bare hands, or even your elbows or feet. And because he's so strong, BOB can take a real battering without being damaged, unlike many standard punchbags. This is ideal as your fitness levels increase and your punches become harder and faster.

BOB is height adjustable between 5”10 and 6”2, and is also suitable for practising self defence, or martial arts such as karate, tae kwon do, sparring, kendo, kung fu and kick boxing. Best of all, using BOB is also a healthy and constructed way to release pent-up aggression and relieve stress.

NB: To stabilise BOB, fill the base with sand (available from DIY stores). BOB weighs approximately 270lbs when filled. The base is rounded for easy roll relocation.

Features:

* Realistic life-size design
* Tough construction and ‘skin'
* Suitable for boxing, self defence, striking and kicking and martial arts training (karate, tae kwon do, sparring, kendo, kung fu and kick boxing)
* Height adjustable from 5'10" to 6' 2" (8 adjustments)
* One year limited manufacturer's warranty

...After a reasonable amount of use you may also find the "Durable" plastic coating covering the target areas of Slam Man, to be not as durable as claimed. Within a month of use the Slam Man was left with a broken nose, a cracked eye and eventually a broken back after the metal support snapped
The customer support provided by Fitness Quest, the manufactures of Slam Man is however excellent. Any questions regarding slam Man are normally dealt with efficiently and if necessary replacement parts are also sent promptly.

Verdict

The Slam Man Is a unique and somewhat revolutionary piece of equipment. The Slam Man manages to turn the typically tedious exercise session into a fun but nevertheless productive workout. However the stark flaws in the design of Slam Man cannot be ignored and really let down a otherwise excellent product. With the price tag currently set at £299 the Slam Man can only be recommended as a aerobic exerciser, those looking to pummel the Slam Man as a replacement punch bag may find themselves frequent callers of the Fitness Quest Customer care line.
