Yeah I saw it. Problem is that a lot of the neat stuff shows up at the end of the month, usually going for a lot more than what I have budgeted for.That one is in not too bad shape (I don't collect the ones that are beat to death), it'll more than likely need a bladder, which is another problem. Not too many of the suppliers are offering bladders that fit the big bags any more.

Anyway in more recent decades I think I used the 4210 and most recently the 4201 (10x7). I want to try a 9x6, not a drastic change. I'd like to try another brand though and aren't familiar with sizes relative to Everlast. Some brands say small is 9x6 and yet I have read it really is closer to 5x8...
I don't know if this can be answered but it would prevent great frustration if I ordered the wrong bag size. It seems that Cleto Reyes, Grant, Title,Top Contender and Pro Mex are the popular brands. Basically, what are the respective models for each brand equivalent in size to an Everlast 4200 6x9 bag?
Thanks very much,

BTW Great Site. who woulda figured a speed bag forum and site!

Yeah, exactly. It's the same old vinyl bag with a flag printed on it. I got it off the clearance table for $10 or so though , so I couldn't resist!

Great pictures! You have the Everlast American flag bag! I saw that one and thought it looked cool. I didn't get it because I thought it was the exact same one that now comes with the 59.99 platform I bought months ago. It's vinyl right? Is it the same one and they just put the flag on it?
BAG ON!
