    Cleto Reyes 9x6

    I got my Cleto Reyes 9x6 today. The bag is really well made. As the pic shows it is similar in shape to my Balazs Lazer 9x6, just a bit thinner but not much. It is lighter than the Balazs and easier on the hands to hit. It's size is a bit small for a 9x6 as is the Lazer. It measures 8 1/2 by 5 5/8ths. But it rebounds really well, a lot of bounce, almost as much as my Leone but is easier to control and is easy to do the various combo's on. It is close to the size of my Leone 8x5 since they measure a bit on the large size. It doesn't have that extra round piece on the bottom around the air stem that the Leone has. Which I like because it seem like I'm always brushing it when I hit and it can hurt the hands. I can give it a thumbs up recommendation. It came with a spare bladder as well which I didn't expect.

    Hey Ralph, thanks for the heads up on the bladder. So far it's not too bad. I have a few extra cleto Reyes bladders on hand, so I can change it when needed. I put a Cleto Reyes bladder in my black title Pro 9x6 and it rebounded a lot better. I agree on the construction, I'll take Mexican built over China any day.

        Well I must have got one that was sewn together on either friday afternoon or early monday morning. I've had this bag less than 2 months and the seam is pulling apart right below the laces. And I'm not even what you would call a real banger on the bags. I'm going to take it to a shoe repair shop where they have sewing machines made to go through leather and have them sew it up.

        Kinda aggravating, considering how expensive they are.

          I think you are right about when it was made. Normally this bags take a beating. Hopefully there will be enough material to work with. When you pay close to 80 bucks you do expect better quality.

              I love my 6x9. To me it's the Goldilocks bag. Not too big not too small. The other sizes have their place and I use them for some variety but for the most part I'll usually have a 6x9 on the hook.
