Everlast "Powerlock" speed bag - anybody tried this?

It is absolutely terrible. Has some of the worst rebounding of any bag out there. Even when pumped up and on my great platform. For the price, get yourself a meister off of Amazon.

Thanks. Shame that Everlast had such great bags (40 years ago? Has it been that long?)

What is with the banana shaped bag, i don't get why so many went with that shape, imo a tear drop bag of the same size will always be faster than the banana shape, Bag Tension ??? Where's the Tension. I'm so confused LoL

I gave up on Everlast speed bags 10 years ago. BUT this new(?) model claims POWERLOCK: "Its unique Powerlock technology makes it easier than ever to adjust the bag's tension, so you can customize the intensity of your workout."

Any body know how it works? Is it just marketing hype?

I'm betting on Marketing Hype. In my experience the only way to adjust the bag's tension is by either adding or remover air from the bladder, which normally involves a needle inserted. I don't see any special "technology" that allows for increasing or decreasing the bags pressure without using the air valve. AND - if this technology does exist, why does it need a standard air valve at the bottom.

Hmmm.

I don't know, they say it's actually made out of leather. The only way I can figure you can adjust it is by varying the air pressure. Not exactly a new idea.....
