There is a new player in town, Modest Vintage Player. At first I thought MVP was just nice leather athletic goods for man caves. But the speed balls looked really nice. Yep, speed balls, MVP is in New Zealand. When I saw the red, white & blue bag I thought it was a perfect match for my Arc Pro swivel. The specs looked good, and it was only $40 plus shipping so what the hell. The shipping was only $12 via DHL Express. The bag arrived from New Zealand in an incredible 2 days!
According to my measurements, the specs are 9.5" x 6.5", 6.7oz inflated with orange latex bladder.
Very good shape. The belly is a low which adds to the heaviness, but adds control in general. It punches very similar to the Cleto in many ways. It has the same slappy punch nature you get with the Cleto. The loop, IMO, is better than the Cleto. The Cleto has a godzilla hook that is stronger and less flexible than a 20 year old Twizzler. Sure the thick loop will last forever, but for bible bagging, it hinders. It is better to have a flexible loop that lets the bag go where it wants to go. The leather is more supple and grabs the nuckles more than the cleto (good or bad?). But the plain single-stitch seams are well made and easy on the hands.
They have several other colors, all quite beautiful.
