Today, I’m returning my second Everlast 4210 (8x11) speed bag to the store where I bought it. The workmanship at the seams is shoddy. Because of this, in some places the bag looks dimpled; in other places it's puffed out and doesn't lie flat at the seams. When I returned the first 4210 bag, the guy looked at me and said, “What’s the problem? You’re only going to beat the crap out of it anyway?” I told him I thought the flat spots affected the rebound. Am I being overly critical? Has anyone here bought bags and noticed defects like these?

To Tim:
I actually did just that. Last week, after two purchases and returns, I got tired of going back to the sporting goods store. I decided to try another brand. I ordered online the Title 8x11 (black and yellow) and the 5x8 (yellow). I should have them on Monday. So far I have the Title 7x10 and the 6x9. I like them both. I wasn't aware of the difference in quality in the retail stores.

I just returned an Everlast 7x10 (not sure what exact model, $25.00) anyway, the valve was loose from the bottom of the bag. Inserting the needle was difficult and when I finally inlfated it, it was somewhat lopsided and one of the seams was not tightly stitched and one side was raised. It was defective, so I sent it back. I've since read (here on the forum) that some of these bags don't have a good track record.
I purchased a "Rival" bag. These bags (from what I've read here) seem to get good reviews.T.J. MaTEE'[/U][/U] u:
