Picked up a double end bag today at dicks....paid $30. Brought the thing home and put some air in it.....my opinion is its cheap quality. The straps that are attached to both ends of bag are of cheap quality and not stitched on too well. The bag itself is cheap "pleather". The bungees are ok (but their just bungees). For $30 bucks its probably good for a kid to play with. I am gonna return it and spend $50 bucks for a better quality bag off the internet. Also i got my friend hooked on speedbaggin and built him a nice setup in his basement. He went and got an everlast Ta:m....its blue and sucks. He is gonna return it and get a better bag off the internet himself. I am not an everlast fan i must say. Now i am guessing the proline of everlast stuff is good, but anything else they got is doo doo. Just my opinion and i felt like giving it! LOL

i noticed a lot of "made in china" on everlast products lately. I think the quality may have been compromised a bit over the years but they still are pretty good and have a good variety of stuff. -
Which is why some of us look for new old stock, or at least lightly used. There is a fair amount of it out there. I've come across bags that definitely have been used, but still in very good condition for very reasonable prices.Comment

I hate the quality of current Everlast products, both equipment and apparel. Hear more good than bad in my line of work about the quality. You pay for the name these days. They aren't what they used to be.Comment

I like the Skunk bags, but even those come with their problems.Comment

You're right, they have a lot of variety, which is usually the spice of life, but maybe not in speed bags. I think they would fare better if they concentrated on maybe two lines of quality speed bags, and save us from fishing through most of the crap to find one bag that is decent. As their variety went up their quality seems to have gone down and I bet their return rate is extremely high.Originally posted by juxt View PostSpeed Bag

The Art of the BagComment

everlast?
i just bought an everlast vinyl speedbag for like $10 off some kid my age cause he broke his cheep swivel some how... all i know is that anything is better then my old vinyl century bag, it hurt my hads no matter what i wore on em.
this bag is nice enought to not use gloves but i gotta be careful for the air valve on the bottum its kinda picky
also the little loop on the top of the bag seems to be a little lopsided nothing major but it moves a little and is very hard to do the thing called "the fist roll" or i belive thats what it is called.
i cant complain though seems like the kid i bought it off of just punched it really hard a couple times and broke his swivel and landed me a cheep bag

LOL....I remember having a speedbag setup in my basement when i was like 15yrs old. My friends and I would try to hit it as hard as we could and ended up just tearing the equipment up! Dumb kid!
