Can You Make a Cobra Bag Using a Power Twister?



In this video I take you on my journey making a prototype of the Cobra style of punching bag using a 30kg Power Twister. You can buy a Power Twister on Amazon from around $20-$30 – here’s one: https://amzn.to/30LAlR3.

Update: See my DIY channel transformed into a global brand producing the world’s first modular cobra bag: https://kewlus.com/

  1. HAVE BOTH 30 AND 40 KILOS.40 IS TO STIFF.30 WORKS FINE.WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT 20 KILOS POWER TWISTER? MAYBE WOULD WORK BETTER?

  2. yoo homie thank u for all these
    Videos Saved me so much money and also gave me a new hobby . much respect from Massachusetts

  3. This looks like the bag for me, my only issue is finding somewhere that sells galvanised steel pipes in the UK tried a few hardware stores but nothing the size I need

  4. Would you recommend going with the 40kg or the 30kg for the spring? Anybody who has tried it with a 40kg?

  5. I'm truly impressed with your creative idea ! just wonder can that be added with spar bar ? May be difficult as spar bar work with still vertical arm.

  6. Hey Bob (Reedy) I Purchased A 30kg/66lbs Power Twister From Amazon.. & It Seems Too Stiff Upon My Initial Inspection. Upon Further Watching This Video And Looking A Bit Closer, It Appears You’re Using A Power Twister In The 20kg Range. Can You Let Me Know If I’m Correct Or Are My Eyes Not That Good At Working ?!?? Thanks

  7. I’m subscribing you do great work πŸ™‚ would like item list so I can price up everything and get it ordered. Definitely let you know when I make either the spar bar. Or reflex bar maybe even both if I can afford it πŸ™‚

  8. Oh yeah ✨πŸ’ͺπŸ½πŸ‘ŠπŸ½πŸ₯°πŸ€™πŸ½βœ¨ just a few more refinements. Material upgrades, modification and BAMM!!! A awesome functional design! Going to make one myself!

  9. I think it would’ve been better with the spring closer to the top, with the bag attached 12”-18” above the spring. The cheaper versions have the spring low, the expensive versions have the spring higher.

  10. Nice job! I have a cobra timing bag but I got bored and experimented around with various universal and pivot joints that I had lying about to try to mimic the synovial joints of the body. More specifically, I experimented with a parallel angled offset to the cobra neck (the parallel offset is achieved with two pvc angle joints connected by a short length of pvc pipe a universal joint can be attached to this. The net effect is to create a timing bag that mimics the erratic head, arm and kick movements of an opponent. This rotating offset can be placed above or below the spring to produce different effects. It can be flipped upside down. All are useful for training. In my case, I have it set up so that I can swap out straight and offset sections to get different motion from the same basic cobra. You seem like a curious and capable guy. I’m sure that if you gave this idea a try, you could perfect it into something really useful.
