I'm enjoying these little tykes. I can't wait for the seams to get beaten down a bit though. Fast fast fast. Definitely fun to learn to hit these guys, I hope somebody somewhere is keeping a stockpile of these in an air tight room so I can get more in a couple years when I run through mine.....
I had a good chuckle when the Walmart clerk read the order slip. He saw that I had ordered a speed bag, and he asked if it was some kind of special – purse!
Hey, Reno, you might be interested in watching Skunk's latest video. He shows how to take down the seams with a razor blade.

I don't get the ashtray part, maybe it's for those who can really smoke a bag. Frankly I think Claes was a little off his rocker, but what do I know about art?

Fast rebounds are what I am not getting. I have to have it on the hard side to get consistently quick rebounds.
Maybe smaller bags are just inherently harder????

I always overinflate them a bit just for the xtra speed. and deflate after the beating because the warm air expands it. One thing i was just wondering. everyone speaks highly of the everlast 6-4. Also they speak highly of the title 5-8. I hav the title 5-8. I like it. How does it stack up to the everlst xs ? ( which i hope to hav on Wed.)

i just got myn about 30 min ago. I thought it would be faster. My title 5-8 is faster then it. Also i tried it on all my swivels. Didnt stack up to my expectations. its not a bad litlle bag I just expected it to be faster. I think It would be good for tricks and making it bounce alover the place. It seems to have good rebound. Mabey it needs to be worn in ? I like the title better personaly.

I have two everlast size xs - the black and yellow one I bought from walmart and a black one I bought several years ago from everlast.com. The black one is a better bag (softer leather and faster). The black and yellow one has leather that could stop a bullet (very tough!!). The rebounds on the yellow/black are not terrible, but I was a little disappointed when I first used it. Now almost 6 months later, the black and yellow is broken in and although not as fast as the all black it is a bit quicker than it was at first. Give it time to break in and it should turn out to be a pretty good bag.
Also, if you want speed use a swivel designed for speed. The black and yellow on the u-bolt and chainlink has pretty good speed now. It also hits nicely on the plastic ballhook, although not as fast but nice hitting experience nevertheless.
Also, I would never dream of shaving down the seams - just beat them down.Last edited by riqal; 02-05-2010, 08:22 PM.

Ya I love the beatdown part. When the title was new u can feel the seems when u hit them. now there all countersunk. Well I can giv it a bit of a chance. Its a nice little addition to the collection. Ill giv it 1 or 2 weeks time if i still dont like it mabey ill find a different home for it. I heard they made a black and red one but i thought i read the black and yellow is quiker. they should all be fast like the black one u spoke of. I dont giv a crap about longevity of the bag I want fast. The guy I talked to on the phone said it was faster then the cleto 9-6 (or 6-9 ?.) Its Not. I know becuase i had one. I Hate liars. and on scisers video u can see the cleto was way faster. but that was also a 5-8. Id take that anyday over the black and gold 6-4. even the 6-9 cleto. they didnt hav cleto 5-8 in stock just 6-9 and everlast 6-4 suposedly was faster. I didnt see what was so pro about it. pro salesmanship is more like it. I usualy use a chainlink. But i did order the watkins ballhook its on its way in the mail. I hope i dont end up with a SuperSuck Combo with slow.Last edited by Crapsterface; 02-05-2010, 08:53 PM.
