Hi Everyone -
i've had an everlast 4210 (11x8 i believe) for about 2 months now. i practice about 2 hours a night, give or take. finished training last night and everything seemed in order. tonight, i whipped open the garage door to enthusiastically pick up where i left off, for i constantly think about hitting the bag and practicing combos all day long. to my dismay, my 4210 was deflated. i then pumped it back up, did some linking and a reverse fist roll and the air had escaped again.
i went through some previous posts on the subject, which prompted me to open up the top of the bag and mess around a bit. i cannot get a visual on the bladder as to where the leak might be but when i give it a little squeeze, i can hear air escaping.
my question - is this common after this amount of use? i remember reading Alan state that the 4210 is a nice bag so is this just 'one of those things' where the bladder can go at anytime? i planned on buying a medium sized bag anyway so i'm not that thrown off, just ticked about missing a couple days of training.
after drilling some new holes in the platform and switching swivels, i don't really want to mess with the whole bladder change thing. also, is there a natural progression bag that i should buy next? maybe like a 9x6? and can i expect a similar short life span of the bag?
thank you so much for everything, everyone!
