          Yes Ralph (RP65) is great to deal with. I got two ring sides from him. a 9 x 6 and a 8 x 5. and both are great bags.

          Good prices and fast shipping got my in florida with in 3 days from Cali which is great.

            I actually have that bag and swivel shown in that link. I ended up ditching the swivel for the Powermill (see Jumpcannon if you haven't already).

            I think the bag depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Are you going for tricks, technique or a workout or what. In terms of quality, that Everlast bag is starting to flake a bit, the string came undone and I have to give it a few pumps of air every other day (which can be annoying because you finally get that perfect amount of air in the bag that feels good and you end up having to find that sweet spot 2 days later). Keep in mind, this is my only bag and I have nothing to compare it to.

            You may want to spend a little bit more money and get it right the first time with what others recommended. See RP65.

              Roger that. There are too many great bags out there to chance a bad one from them.
