      Reyes Bag

      Hey Rigal,

      I have 3 Reyes bags. 5x8, 6x9 and 7x10. The 5x8 and the 7x10 I purchased from Ringside within the last 6 months or so and as said by Fingers the loops are a bit long and stiff. I really like the 5x8, incredibly fast. The 7x10 to me seems heavy and sloppy. Probably just me. My 6x9 I got from Ringside several years ago and the loop is short. My absolute favorite bag. Are they worth $80.00 a whack?? I've gotten at least $50,000 worth of enjoyment out of my 6x9. Some of this stuff I may have put into an earlier post. Sorry for any repetitions.

        To be honest, I was disappointed with the type of service I got. I found myself very frustrated with the attitude of the person I was speaking to on the other end. "No it's not here yet"! The way things are today, You'd think they would be extra sufficient with orders and appreciate a sale.
        I had a good hit of the bag last night and like dogtoke says, It's incredibly fast. I taped up the loop but, couldn't get on with it so took it off and persevered. Anyway, I took good control last night and loved it, seems to have stopped jumping about.

          reyes bag

          I couldn't agree more good manners cost nothing! but we are stuck for good speed bag suppliers here in the UK, they are cheaper in the US but when you add the postage it is expensive, i found when i swap from a short fat bag like my Everlast 5x8 to the Cleto it takes a while to get used to it i think the rebound is different on the Mexican style bag! but once you find the grove its FAST and gives a good workout

              The actions of both are similiar, but the Title brand is a lot less expensive.

                Hay fearless, sorry i don't own a tittle bag so cant really comment! but you probably noticed i rave about the cleto reyes! another bag i think is great is my Everlast 5x8 another fast bag, and cheaper than the cleto i think it will depend on what size and shape you are looking for all down to personal taste. hope that helps, Fingers
