Adidas synthetic bags on closeout

[Tim]

I have no idea if these are any good , as I've never punched one. But at $10, it might not be a bad deal???

i've been wanting to get a 6x9 bag....anyone got any input on this bag?????????????

[Mrs Mitts]

I've just ordered the leather version of this bag, waiting for it to arrive. All I can say is that Adidas boxing stuff is well made and I really like the Adidas peanut ball I use.

Not sure about the PU material - I have a pair of boxing gloves in the same artificial leather as this speed ball, they have been fine but if you have the money, you usually can't beat the real thing.

No one out there tried this bag?

[Mrs Mitts]

Don't buy this bag

OK, it's a shocker.

I ordered the leather version of the Adidas striking ball and they sent me the PU one that Tim pictured. It's going back but I gave it a checkover first.

It's not well made, it's very light, this one was out of shape and rebounded all over the place. Doesn't feel nice, strong plastic smell.... in fact can't think of anything good to say about it.

I just gave mine a few swings last night, but I didn't have the issues you had Mrs Mitts. True, it is light, but it is probably to be expected with this new material. No odor issues with mine, but it was dusty when I pulled it out of the container.

Maybe it was the luck of the draw. My impulse buy worked out.....so far.

I'll go with a promex or title instead

crapshoot, I'm really glad you got a good one. It's true to say that no two bags are identical even buying two of the same model. I think part of my annoyance was having been sent the wrong bag twice by an ebay seller!

By the way, did yours come in a bag calling it a 'STRICKING BALL' ???!!!

If nothing else it's a good bag for signing and giving away.
