Scissor - it looks like you'll have to review it for us!

I was also wondering what they are like as Ringside are also available here in the UK.

I've got a Ringside X-Small, and I love it. It has a look and build similar to the Cleto bags. The XS Ringside is very small, smaller than the Cleto XS for sure. Scissor, you'll be able to rip on the Ringside XS, assuming that's the size you ordered.

mrs mitts ill be happy to review it!
AAD- thats good to hear you like it. yes i ordered the xs ringside trying to replace my xs cleto. heres the weird thing...ive been using an xs cleto and really liked it and it started ripping so i bought a new one and been trying to hit it for months- its nowhere near as good. i guess no 2 bags are the same/
do you think the xs ringside is as good as the xs cleto?

I got the 10x7 RingSide which is always a nice hit. The leather's nice and soft and the bag has an excellent rebound too.

The only sore point I have about it (and by no means is this a criticism) is the massive loop, it's super chunky. Don't get me wrong , the loop length is fine, its the loop construction itself, its just so dang thick. I had a lot of trouble hangin the bag to begin with, but I fixed that by notching a semi circle in each edge of the loop so's the hook could accommodate it.

But there's no doubt about it, these bags are made to take a beating.

thanks roc- it sounds to me its similiar to the cleto. ill let you all know how i like it this week when it arrives!

glad you postid this subject. I was curious on a ringside myself.

[SpeedBagScissorhands]

i think at the end of the day no 2 bags are ever the same. so many times ive had duplicates of the same exact bag/brand and one always seems to be better than the other. its a very hot or miss subject. sbsh

IMO Ringside makes a great bag. very reliable as to size and shape, nice leather and pretty fast with good weight per size. My only diss is the bag loops are now a bit thick and the shape is abit bannanafied for me (long, thin per size) but even then they are nice bags.
