    Speed bag size question..

    I have a small everlast speed bag (9x6), and I can hit it consistently but I just don't have the power to make it go faster (I'm an 18 year old girl). I was wondering what bag you guys would recommend I get. I am looking at the 8x5 Title bag...basically I just want a lighter bag that requires less force in order to go faster. I feel like I've reached my limit on the 9x6. Any suggestions?

    That Title 8x5 will be a good choice. You might put a bit more air in your 9x6 to make it go a be faster, but don't overdo it.

    Good luck.

      This bag in size extra small (8x5) is a lightweight, fast bag that does not require too much power to get it moving fast. A bit expensive, but worth it. You won't be disappointed. I also have this bag in size 9 x 6, and it is also pretty light and fast. Either one would be a good choice. Good luck!

        I have the Title 8 x 5 and love it. It is the bag I hit the most. It's light and the bladder seldom needs air. It has really held up well after a couple years of use.

        Great to see more women bagging. Best wishes to you.

            Let us know how this works out for you, would be good info to know about. I just got a Title 8x5 the other day, it has a very nice feel to it.

                    goju, I got one (Title classic 8x5) almost 2 years ago, had it shipped from the US. Can't remember how much I paid after tax but, it was a lot in the end.

                        I love my title 8x5...be warned tho, when you get it, make sure everything is lined up right as far as seams go, when I got mine it was a bit deformed, and I found that that particular bag is known for that. If you get a warped one, just send it back with the stuff they give you for that purpose, and tell em you want one done right.

                          For my .02, TITLE has been very reasonably responsive to me in my orders from them in the past few... 8-10 weeks. Their gals on the phone are great. They replaced a topside -DE-MEX-BLADDER at No Charge/No Shipping - and I have another issue on another bottom one that leaks that I anticipate no problem from them. Their shipping and invoicing has been precise, and some of their pricing has been ASTONISHING - I purchased 6 WARM UP SUITS from them (Christmas Shopping) when they were on sale at $24.99 (or it was $29.99) - and I only ordered one at first - when I got it I REALIZED - WOW - I'd pay $200 for it; the embroidery, the quality of the garment, the zippers. I told 5 buddies about it who all bought one and they've sent me fishing lures and hints about insanity (they all want to knock me off for my girlfriend but they don't know what a pain in the knuckle she can be).

                          TITLE sends me ALMOST DAILY e-mails with CURRENT SALES and I've purchased several BARGAINS from them since, but nothing lately. I got a pair of work-out shoes (actually two pair: his/hers) for $24.99 and they are... like wresting shoes.. in Steeler Colors (I'm a Cowboy fan but my whole family is from Pittsburgh). They are these: http://store.titleboxing.com/adidas-...-trainers.html

                          They're worth every penny. I'd almost go Rock Climbing with 'em. $25??
