    It didn't take too long for me to get used to it.
    I looked at the photos of the Title Classic you posted in the bag comparison. It doesn't look so small. I looked at the video Billy posted hitting his Rival 6x4 and even it looks bigger than the one I have. Maybe it's the angle he shot the video from though. Or maybe I've got a real runt. I'll have to post some pictures of it next to my other bags. I tried it again today and still didn't get much out of it. I'll keep at it. Thanks for the encouragement.

      CLint0n-

      It's probably the angle on my vid, check the still pics on this page:



      It's a totally different feel from a larger bag. Your muscles get used to the timing and resistance of the bigger bags, and then on the 4x6 it's like you're punching thin air. You have to have super fast hands and make very little movement.

      Even Alan said my punches sounded weak on that vid. He may have been right, but I think it's just hard to get a good solid wallop on the bag...it's more like the stroke of a feather.

      I have developed some combos that take advantage of the small size, I'll try to post something this weekend.

      Keep it at it!

        No, it's not nearly as small as the rival that you have, I was referring to how light it was and I know the feeling of the bag being so light it seems like it can't rebound properly.

          Thanks Senior Brothers Chris and Billy,

          I'll keep at it. I like trying out new bags often anyways. Maybe one day it will click and it will be my favorite bag. I think I'll pick up the Everlast 6x4. I like the look of it in Chris's photos. Can never have too many bags. Wouldn't it be great to have a wall of drums to hold them all. Just walk down the lineup and hit away?
