    Which speedbag is best

    I have now become very proficient on a 6X9 bag, and am able to many of the combinations in the video. Unfortunately I have now become limited by my speedbag. I built a platform you can do chinups on, and bought the best swivel that title sells, but i think the bag is my weak link. I have a red title 6X9 (the one that is always on sale) that is brand new and already deformed. This actually the second bag they sent me, the first would not inflate. I want to buy a new one but i want to make sure I don't waste money. So my question is what bag is best suited for hitting hard or very fast, hitting form both front and back of the bag, and for constantly changing combinations? Do I want to have multiple bags or can one fit the bill?

    Thanks for any help,

    Good discussion here...



    Your question should be "What is everyone's favorite bag?", because there is no "best" bag...it all depends...the bag you have, the Title Classic is one of Skunk's favorite bags, and he is extremely accomplished on it.

    If you like the 9x6 size go with the more expensive yellow 9x6 from Title, it's a great bag, but I can't say it;s the "best".

    And yes, why not have multiple bags? Why not have multiple boards and swivels? Shoot, why not have multiple wives for that matter....d'oh!

      Bags don't get jealous and they're not nearly as expensive???
      Bags only require a little air and a good beating every now and then.

        HAA!
        Man I wouldn't say that around my wife. She's already killed three husbands, and two of them was just nappin'.

        One day you'll learn that your life isn't complete until your married. Then it's finished.

        For me, I didn't know what true happiness was until I got married, and now it's too late.

        Truth is: I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out, she'll kill me.

        I can't complain, for my wife and I were very happy for thiry years. Then we met.

        ( in case my wife reads this: it was just a joke, honey..)

          asking what the best bag is, is like asking what came first the chicken or the egg? many different options out there. personally i like rival a lot. also if your accomplished with the 9x6 go down to a 8x5 but a more expensive bag than the tittle classic (the classic is on the light side of bags).

              a good beating every now and then.
              I could have said the same thing about my ex wife too.

              JUST KIDDING!!! I'm not a wife beater and never have and never will lay a hand on any woman. Well, we do have a couple girls in my boxing class but even then I am very reluctant to do anything other than tap them when sparring.

                    The chicken. I really love the top contender bag. I have the 6x9 and 4x7. They are good, quality, very soft on the hands, and rebound well. AND THEY'RE CHEAP!!

                      You're right. I have several TC bags and they are a quality product in my opinion. Best price around, too.

                          It sounds like you're ready to graduate to a smaller, faster bag. I've got several 8x5 bags. They're lighter and faster than the 9x6's. A popular size to further your bagging skills and speed. One of "my" favorites is the "Fighting Sports" 8x5 (It's the white one). It's light, is balanced really nice, and the leather is really soft on your chops. I think Spin punched one on, on one of his vids. A great bag. The Top Contender bags do look good. I don't own any. They look similar in shape and leather quality to the Fighting Sports bags. And always remember, "A bouncing speedbag gathers no moss!" "BAG ON!"

                            need a speedbag

                            Anybody know of a sports store in the Tampa Bay area that I can walk into and buy a speedbag; a Reyes or something that ain't made in China? I been using Everlast Te:M and Te:S and they all either rip or the bladder busts. Thanks.

                              I do not believe there are any commonly found retail locations that carry "the good stuff". You really do need to order off the internet to get a good speed bag. (I'm from Tampa)
