    hi guys.

    i replaced my Big 5 Century 100lbs canvas heavybag (the filling was very hard) with the ringside 130lbs water/foam heavybag.

    now, i like the fact that it's real soft and safer on the hands, but there is one thing i noticed.

    the ringside water/foam 130lbs bag moves around WAY more when being punched.

    when hitting the big 5 century 100lbs canvas bag, it didnt move as much.

    i'm guessing, even though the water/foam bag is 30lbs heavier, the fact that it's filled with water makes it move more?

    any thoughts?

    by the way, i want to get the regular ringside 100lbs leather bag, anyone have experience with it? and is it soft filled?

    and why does the ringside "powerhide" (non-leather )100lbs bag say it's "soft filled", but the 100lbs leather bag doesn't? is it just a typo?
