Newbie bag and swivel combo suggestion

[brower3]

I've been slammin on a heavy bag for years and now I've decided to check out a speed bag. Most reviews I read about dept store bags and swivels say the bags fall apart and the swivels have a limited movement or just not smooth and loud. I want to spend about $60.00 to $80.00 bucks on a bag and swivel combo. I can build my own platform. I want to be able to throw some elbows. I need to hear from people that have some experience and knowledge so here I am. Suggestions?

Get a msdeville ballhook swivel and Title speed bag for that price range. They should get you start. I'd suggest the Red 9x6 for a decent starter bag.

Hello brower3 and welcome. I would stay away from a ubolt or chainlink swivel. The Deville is a great choice. Have fun!

Thanks guys. I have a Deville on the way and am ordering a Title bag tomorrow. I can't wait to get set up. I'll post pictures asap. Thanks again guys.

just my 2 cents -I have bought and used a Deville swivel, it is good equipment.
However, I use the Everlast U-bolt swivel every day and it is my favorite. I have tried a bunch of different bags, and Everlasts are the best for me. Heavier and with a very short loop, they fit me just fine. I like a larger bag, but the good old black Everlast " gyro balanced " bag is my fave, along with the next larger size.
