    Beginner speed bag

    What speed bag would you advise a beginner to start with? Size and Bag. For me I think a 6x9 is a great size for beginner and advanced baggers and the TITLE GYRO I believe is a good bag at a fair price. Enjoy

    Yes, a 6 x 9 is a good choice. You inflate it just a little soft to start with to slightly slow down the response. I liked the old Everlast 4210 and 4213 bags which are 7 x 10. My first 6 x 9 is a early Ringside bag.

      Personally I am not a fan of title. The quality of their bags is poor, imo. Also it depends how much you want to spend - if you know you're in for the long run get something proper. If you're still a newbie I'd recommend something on the larger side. Don't go smaller than the 6x9.

          I would spend money on a good bag. The Titles were not that great, my favorite is the Jim Bradley from Thrasher house.

            I understand the value of a "good bag" however I think the key word here is "Beginner" someone who is trying this out to see if they would enjoy it or Not and a good bag can go for some steep change.

              exactly. Every speed bag brand has a decent bag for a beginner. An inexpensive 9x6 or 10x7 will be fine. For a beginner I have found that the swivel is usually more problematic than the bag.

                The cheapest I would go is a Cleto Reyes 6x9. The thin leather is great.

                  Only used one once and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Great choice of bags. But $100.00 for Beginner.
