I got my Balazs Lazer 8x5 today. It's actually about 7.5 x 5, but I'm starting to see that the measurements on bags seem to vary quite a bit. This really is a super nice bag. You can see and feel a very high quality right way. I went through the instructions by the letter. First pump up to 2 lbs, roll it around on a flat surface for awhile and wait 15 minutes to pump up to 6 and then deflate to 5. Used Vasaline instead of spit to insert needle and lubed up the inside of the loop. Used the air gauge that came with it to double check the pressure. All systems go.
I thought the bag would probably go all over the place at 5 lbs but it didn't. I didn't have to reduce the pressure at all. I frequently change out my swivels depending on which bag I'm using. Don't know why but some bags I can control better on the Deville than the Powerswivel. I started out on the Deville but changed to the Powerswivel and I seemed to have more control with it. It is a heavier bag for it's size but it has a nice rebound. Not as bouncy as my Leone, which actually makes it easier to control for me. I really like this bag. I think it definitely was worth the $84.00. So here's a pic, sorry no video's, maybe when I'm a little more accomplished.
