Favorite Current Bag

Oh, what we have apparently lost from the Great White North. From my limited observations (I've only seen three Genesport bags) they are well made of high quality leather. While they seemed to have specialized in larger bags (their output seems to have been aimed at martial artists and believe it or not hockey players) this size is about the smallest of what was offered. The inventory of the firm was liquidated at a martial arts supply shop in Montreal back in December 2017

This is my current fav bag. Maybe its because I just got it on eBay for $7.50. Maybe because its the new kid. Or maybe its because of the super-soft moccasin leather, inverted seams, beautiful camel color leather, original soft leather lace, great balance and kick-ass bounce! Other than that, I know nothing of this bag or the Genesport brand. Dutchman, please comment. It is a 8"x5" bag, which I assume is rare for that vintage.

The Jim Bradley folks are really cool. They offered to send a couple free bladders with a bag to offset some of the shipping cost. I work in air cargo and have a few contacts who who travel to Australia and New Zealand, so I inquired about in store sales. While that is not an option, their factory is about 10 min from the Melbourne airport. I could have my order picked up there. Decisions, decisions.

I see the two Arc ball & shank hanging there on the SS swivel.. have you considered slapping one of those with tri-hook in the deville base you have? Assuming all parts fit together. #FrankenSwivel

I do not have as many bags as others on this forum, but I will review the ones I have.
I will begin with my #3 choice, which is the Reyes. I did not fully appreciate it until I received the Arc Swivel from Rusty last week. I finally had a decent swivel that it would fit on. The top two bags are about equal but different. Both are Jim Bradley. The regular (black) bag has a feel similar to the Reyes. It is heavier than the Reyes at 6.9 oz where the Reyes is 6.2 oz., but is a little faster and feels a lot better on the hands with much better seams. The Bradley Pro Ball is slightly larger, but only weighs 5.9 oz. It is just as fast if not more so than the Bradley regular bag and extremely forgiving on the hands. Both Bradley bags have a lining infused with flubber with the pro bag having a little more.
The other bags are shown in descending order of likeablily. I would choose the cheap $8 Wansda bag, which is decomposing, over the others pictured. It is a larger bag with a thin skin, fairly slow, but not as slow as one would expect from a low quality bag, and the seams are not as terrible as some of the other bags. My main dislike for these bags is that they just do not feel lively, and some are too small for my liking.2 PhotosLast edited by Jim Walker; 08-15-2019, 11:03 AM.

I did not like this one! Love the color and that's about it...

I hit the 9x6 exclusively pretty much the 1st year of bible'n. Title Perlious is a must however there has been mixed reports on incorrect bladder sizes sloppily installed. I have 8x5 and it was great from the get go. Love the 8x5 Title Black as well with bladder upgrade. I found that bag to be clunky in the beginning as well and I hate the "Quik Tech" bladders! The more you relax and get wrist movements with strikes the more the "clunkyness" goes away, atleast what I have found.
How do you like the 5" Black to the Ali? Assuming you've done the same bladder swap in both. We're definitely agreed an the quick tech bladders although... if you ever pick up a classic title 5 Yellow you might agree that there is no need to swap out the bladder in that one. I love the shape of that bag. You see forum member David Winkle hitting on that one a lot in his videos.
..and stop saying the Ali is in your (cough) "top 15"!!!
