Century BOB XL

The BOB XL features a human-like torso rather than a cylindrical shape, which forces you to practice precision and accuracy rather than just power. It is ideal for martial artists who need to target specific anatomical points like the head, solar plexus, and ribs.

Yes, when filled properly with water or sand, the base is quite stable. Sand provides a heavier, more solid feel that resists movement better than water, though water is significantly easier to drain if you need to move the unit.

While the BOB XL is designed primarily for punches and strikes to the upper body, the long torso does allow for some mid-level kicks. However, it is not designed to withstand low leg kicks, as the base is not meant to be struck directly.

You can keep the skin clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth and mild soap after your workout to remove sweat and oils. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which can degrade the material over time.

The height adjustment is secure, but it is designed to be set before your workout rather than adjusted on the fly. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully tightened before you begin training to prevent the torso from slipping during impact.

The BOB XL is designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations can cause the plastisol skin to crack or degrade prematurely.
