Hi I'm new to the forum and a total novice at speed bagging and I have decided to take it up as a hobby I intend on making my own platform and I have purchased an everlast plastic ball hook ( http://goo.gl/G2Dmtm ) so that just leaves the bag.I don't really know what size I need so hopefully someone can advise me. I really like the look of the Mexican Cleto Reyes, I found a thread where Ralph was selling cleto reyes bags, does anyone know if he is still selling them ? Also the red, white and black ringside but I have heard good reviews about title bags. I have attached a link to all three bags bellow. If anyone could give me tips or advice I would greatly appreciate it. Also I'm from Northern Ireland, Is there anyone else on this forum from Ireland ?

thanks
Stuart

all 3 are very good bags !! you cant go wrong with a cleto if u wanna spend that much money . in my opinion the ringside is also a very good bag .i love mine !!!!
i can say nothing about the title cause i dont have one but i know from other members that it is a very very good bag and good price . i would start with a 9x6 and 8x5

If you cant speed bag at all. Get 7X10 and 6X9. Make sure you go to a great supplier. TITLE, RIVAL, all you will ever need as a speed bagger. Go to their sites. Fock eBay... You will end up with counterfeit-knock off-sh!t. Then you will waste time and money shipping crap back. Check the classifieds in Ireland. There has to be one you can get cheep to get you feeling what it's about.

Good luck.
