Title Platinum Atomic XS - 3 months of hard use

[Keith G.]

Looking for a speedbag that won't break?

Tim,

Where can I buy one of these bags? I'm looking for a speedbag because I've gone through three Everlast bags in the last week; the bag either rips or the bladder collapses inside. I boxed for ten years and never saw anybody but Sonny Liston or Joe Frazier break a bag and that was from sheer power and now here the bladder literally collapsed inside this bag on me yesterday after only two rounds of punching it and Sports Authority told me they won't let me trade in anymore bags so I'm persona non grata there. Is this bag leather or what?

Peace,
Keith G.

They are synthetic - apparently a damn good synthetic. Here's the link:

Tim,

Title boxing, which carry most of my favorite speed bags:

How much air are you putting in? I always punch bare handed and that necessitates a less than rock hard bag. Most are very hard to pop if you take a good amount of air out. You should be able to punch bare handed in comfort, anything more than that is too much air.

Is this bag leather or what?

It is *NOT* leather and they go out of their way to make that clear.

If you're popping retail size bags (probably 10x7 or 9x6), you are not likely to have any better luck with these Titles. All things even, a smaller bag is easier to pop than a big one

Hope that helps.

Thanks jump. If it makes you feel better, the 59 minutes of that session that didn't make it into the final clip looked like an off session too

I did about 50 takes of that downard elbow ' inward elbow ' outward elbow before I ended up with 3 that were good enough to be put on the internet...

that was an amazing Combo! I've never seen that one before

for the record it looks like: (D-DES) ' (I-DES) ' (O-DES), with a double bump off the downward fist to the FSP lead of the Inward.

Oooo-weee!! that's F-A-S-T baggin'

I'm really diggin' this Title Platinum XS (the 5"x7" size, not the crazy small XXS). I can do everything I can do on it and it is one fast bag. My speed has picked up considerably as I have been using the Platinum Atomics exclusively for the past 3 months (I won the XS at SPEED B.A.G. 2010 and I bought an XXS also as soon as I got back to home base).

I've had a lot of fun on it, improved my advanced punching a bit, and am hitting faster than ever now.

The bag is extremely durable and has minimal signs of wear after 3 months of HARD use. It has definitely lost a bit of the shiny finish but other than that, it's in great shape, much better than a lot of other bags I have.

Boy, Tim. You're really stepping up to light-speed on the punching! I've always liked your videos, but this is quite a demo of your skills on the small bag. You look like you've burned some calories working out on that speed-demon bag.

Loved watching :26-:35 in the vid ...was really cool looking and simply awesome to watch. You and Mrs. Mitts have the technique down pat. So precise and exact. I wish I had the discipline that you two share.

Thanks Alan! I knew it was pretty unique , wasn't sure if it's been "done" before. I'm sure somebody has somewhere...

It can definitely be done without double-bumps as well. At this point the double bump is instinct , I don't even think about it.

That's the look of "wow i finally got it going good and fast... hope the camera is on... hot damn, I think it is... now don't screw up... don't screw up"

ah! you've entered the state of "no mind" on it. It's just there whenever you need it. very nice!

Tim that was a bagging masterclass

X2 Really nice Tim. Great elbow combos, unreal!! I was impressed with your hitting @ SB2010, but thats crazy. I really like that I-E' O-E.

How did you edit your vid to get the frame to "shrink and twist" between clips? You use editing software or is that an option on youtube?

iMovie HD on Mac OS X. I don't believe anything that fancy can be done via Youtube...

[jumpcannon]

ok...thanks. I will see if my windows movie maker has anything cool on it. Probably not though.

[Biff]

Holy Crap Tim, you were smokin that little bag. Really nice elbow combos. That practice is really yielding dividends.

[spinsmashpop]

Tim! I can't believe I just watched this now!
I was laughing watching it! You have put a lot of time into the double bumpin' and it has paid off! Some of those combos are full on your own!
I had both Atomic bags after the convention, but they got stolen and the few minutes I tried, I loved them...
I gotta get them soon...
Yes, you wrote...
"I'm all metal, all the time"...." I love the sound it makes, and the fact that you can mod it a bit to make the rebound arc really short (Mount the hook as deep as possible in the ball). I've gone plastic for extended amounts of time, but I always come back to the metal ball hook. It's just a lot more satisfying for me. I'm not a big fan of the traditional u-bolt, but the Jim Bradley polycarbon still makes for a really wicked fast rebound, I've got that one mounted on the second platform....
I all metal too! Metal music and swivs!! HAHA!!!
But, yes, something about the sound of all metal is killer...
Anyhow.... that was some sick stellar footage!
Take a bow! You earned it!!!
BAG ON! DON'T DRAG ON!
