i like the old design better, i think they went to fancy, they got rivets now , but no stitching

No leather? Also, anyone know if Tuf-Wear bags are discontinued? I got a couple a long time ago, which I really like, but now I can't seem to find anyone selling them.

i went on the rival site and it only showed the new bags, i wonder if they are phasing the old ones out

I have not tried the new ones.

I used to be opposed to anything but leather, having never had a good experience with non-leather bags, but honestly after punching the Platinum Atomic XS and XXS which are NOT leather, I'd be willing to give any synthetic a chance now. On a side note, Everlast's vinyl bags are still horrible to me though

if they are changing their bags you can bet the quality will drop off. just my gut feeling.

LOL i was thinking the same thing, thats why their NEW mono-fiber , instead of leather, cutting corners

FYI = I received my new Rival speed Bag (Medium). It is very fast and it rebounds very well. It is good quality for synthetic material. I recommend it.

Rival Precision

Hey all, just started bagging a few weeks ago. I've been checking out the videos and its amazing what you all are doing. I bought the Bible and have been slowly going through it.
I started with a Everlast 10 x 7 and then bought an Everlast 9 x 6, but it lost air after a few uses. I then got a Rival Precision 9 x 6. Now I know speed has to do with technique, hand speed and force, but when I hit it, its rebound is considerable slower than the Everlast 10 x 7. It just feels "dead" and barely rebounds a couple of times. Do bags need to be broken in? Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if its possible to get a bad bag?

This is the bag http://store.titleboxing.com/rival-p...peed-bags.html

Thanks
(wasn't sure where to post this, just thought it might fit in with the Rival)
