    new platform bag and swivel

    Hello. Today the pieces came together. A new title 5x8 gold a deville swivel and my new rock solid platform. The bag appears very lopsided. Maybe it will round out. Also this bag hits back a bit more than my first everlast 6x9. I like the everlast better at this point. Maybe once the title breaks in more it will be different.The swivel is nicely consructed but initial testing showed slower. My testing was just a basic punch and counting the number of rebounds...pretty scientific right? My first platform is mounted directly to the ceiling and I have to stand on a platform. The other is dropped and very stout. Switched swivels and bags back and forth today.can hardly lift my arms. One thing for certain. The smaller bag and deville swivel will make me strike with more accuracy and allow me to move forward and advance. All thoughts appreciated.

    How many rebounds can you get per punch?

      Send the bag back!
      I have the same bag, with the same problem. I thought I could beat it into shape. I told myself maybe I was being to fussy. When I got a new FS 5x8 I realized just how bad that lopsided yellow bag is. I was instantly hitting much better, and having more fun. I'll never hit that lopsided bag again.

        When it comes to the number of rebounds the deville is about 5. The everlast swivel about 9. This with the everlast 6x9 bag. The title runs 5 and 7 much stiffer bag and thicker skinned.

          I get 9 rebounds on the Deville with the Cleto Reyes XS bag, 8 rebounds with the super lightweight Title Atomic XXS. What's the temperature where you're bagging?

            Temperature? Hot! Full blown summer here. 90 and sticky. Does anyone check air pressure with a gauge? I am just doing it by feel.

              That probably describes 99.9999% of the baggers I've ever met.

              Frankly the guy I knew that always used an air gauge was wound a little tight if you know what I'm saying....
