    Baggin on my new bag..

    I thought I would post a quick vid of my setup and me hitting it about three months in. I just got a new bag about a week ago and it is really starting to soften up now. The board has been holding up well and I am getting a nice ring going on the drum. Let me know what you think.

        Getting better everyday. I've had that bag for 1 week now and at first I didn't really like it. The leather was too hard and the rebound was slower than my 6x9 title classic. It took a good four days of beating on it for it to really soften up. Now it's my favorite bag. :

          I'm going to get in first before anyone else does and ask- Have you changed the original black bladder that came in that wicked speed bag for a replacement Title orange bladder? It's like putting a 454 chev in a Fiat Bambina. Vroom!

            No, I have been using it with the original factory bladder. I have read a few threads talking about these replacement bladders and I feel it may be time for me to give one a try. I'll let you know how it goes.

                Excellent baggin'!

                ...but I'm going against the fray here...I personally like the black bladders on both the yellow Title & Fighting Sports. I like to hit the bag with force & like the added resistance. Lately I've just been hitting the Balazs XS bag...it takes a firm punch to keep that baby going (...and I like that!). Just one man's opinion...keep doing what your doing!

                  yeap.i agree to that.once you soften up a title bag nothing beats it.specially after switching to a pink bladder.

                    My thoughts exactly. I ordered 3 bladders. One for each of the bags I have so far.

                        Thanks. Actually to clarify I started speed bagging in 2000 or 2001. My neighbor at the time had a board in his garage and we got a copy of the speedbag bible and hit it all the time. The setup I have now is the first I have had of my own. Over the years I have kept it up at various boxing and martial arts gyms but have had many years in between practice. Now that I have one in the garage I hit it almost every day and am able to work on more of the advanced techniques. Before I got this rig it had been about 3 years since I hit the speed bag.

                        That said my new bladders showed up today and I just finished installing the one in my 5x8. What a hassle!!!! I am in no rush to do that over again. Even though I bought 2 more for my other bags. To make things worse it's almost 10pm and my kid is asleep so I can't even hit it!!! Gonna have fun tomorrow though.

                          I took a bunch of training, on and off over the years for boxing, MMA and Muay Thai. Always was pretty good at hitting a speed bag, but I never knew all the different things you could do with it.

                          Those bladders make a difference. I just started putting them into my bags, and they added much more snap to em. I didn't rubber cement the bottoms though. Just jammed em in there. No problem yet. Knock on wood.

                            This may be a rookie question but if you rubber cement the bladders into the bag how would you remove them if they pop or just wear out? Is rubber cement easily reversible?

                              The nice thing about using rubber cement is that it's not permanent. The trick is to apply it only on the area around the valve that has cloth on it. Do Not get it on the bladder itself. Title now includes an instructional pamphlet on how to remove and install the bladder when you buy them.
