    Balazs has new speedbags

    Maybe some of you guys might be interested in the new Gyro balanced balazs speedbags. Doesn’t say anything about a money back guarantee, however. Probably because unlike the lazer bags these new bags have a bladder.

    Notice the always quote the word Gyro. They even say:
    1. Yup, fully “Gyro” Balanced exactly as has been done for 30 years.
    I think you meant to say unlike the lazer, these bags have a replaceable bladder.

      Yes, thank you. Replaceable bladder. I’m going to have to wait for some reviews before I make a decision on this bag. I still don’t know for sure what “gyro balanced” is supposed to mean, other than the bag is most likely to be black.

        Me too! riqal Isn't a bag supposed to be balanced? The gyro thing throws me off.

        Although; A Gyro can be delicious, we know that. And a well Balanced ratio of all the delicious fillings that make a gyro only contributes to the enjoyment.

          Before micro-processors gyroscope technology was used for many things Unfortunately you can't balance speed bags like wheels and tires
          Maybe Rube Goldberg has Gyro speed bag balancer that only works during a Wizard of Oz hurricane See you when you get home Dorothy

            Their idea was to model it after the old jewel...the Everlast 4200 "gyro" balanced bag. They sent me a prototype to try. I hit many 4200's and I can tell you it's close... but a bit heavier than the original. Not quite the same shape either, but it hits really nice.

              Alan, do you have a kitchen scale or a gram scale? I would love to know how much it weights.

                  thanks! I assume that is the 4200/6x9?

                      Sounds pretty good and looks really nice with that shape, and with 6.7 ounces it’s a heavier 6/9. The most i have in that scale are lighter. I do not own a balazs bag right now, maybe that’s the time to start now. ...you can’t have enough different bags

                        It hits heavy also. When my wrists and finger arthritis is acting up I'd leave it alone. It's fast for it's weight, but it feels heavy when hitting.

                          I wonder which bag is the fastest? The original Balazs or the newer?

                            IMO, The gyro is faster than the Lazer model.
