    Cleto Reyes or Balaz Lazer??

    Ok I've been on a bag buying spree lately and I hate odd numbers. I currently have 9 bags. I gotta round out the herd with one more banana bag to make it an even 10. I want an 8x5 and I've narrowed it down to either the Cleto Reyes or the new Balaz Lazer.

    Who has hit on both of these size bags that can give me their honest likes and dislikes of each one and if they had to choose one over the other which would it be and why. Also I see that the Balaz is quite a bit heavier than the Cleto, how does that affect the speed, is the Cleto faster?

    Thanks for your input and for feeding the addiction.

    Both great bags in their own right. I say get them both. If you have to be at an even number, maybe put one of your other speed bags up for adoption, otherwise go for an even 12.

      Well I do have a bag I don't use much. But I've already been trying to beat my wife to the mail box. But she still see's the paypal account at the end of the month. LOL

          Well that might work and then I could get both a have my set of 10. I'd really like some input on the performance of these 2 bags though as I'm not experienced enough to know how the weight difference affects performance.

            i don't have either bag, but i do have a Balazs Lazer 6x9 and it is faster than my Pro Mex 5x8.

              Based on some other threads I've read here on the forum, I'll probably go with the Balaz lazer 8x5. I should have done a little more research on my own before I even popped this thread up.

                Wow, that is a very generous offer and I really appreciate it. But I would just worry too much about it. If it got lost in the mail or if something happened to it I would feel sick about it. But thanks so much for the offer.

                This is a great forum with people who are obviously very generous with both their time, knowledge and equipment. Glad I found the place.
