    Title Speed bag opinion

    Being new to the game, I'm looking at getting this one in the 7". Opinions?

    Best price I've found.


    Still shopping for a swivel, maybe this?


    I've built a real nice 30" drum out of double layer particle board and covered it in plastic laminate.

    So far invested:
    PB - $21
    Plastic - heavy discount on old stock $20
    Spray 90 - $10

    I'll use steel I have stored here, so I shouldn't have to spend much more.

    I'm still working on a plan to mount the unit above an outside man door in the garage...I want it to be able to push/swing up out of the way when not in use.
    I'll post pictures as things progress.

    Hopefully EveryDayAverageNormalGuy hops on this thread and tells us more about the Title 7x10. In his video 5bags and a swivel he shows us the whole set of bags from the yellow right up to the big blue.
    The ballhook swivel is the way to go if you have the choice of any swivel. Ssshh...Deville#13 ... It's no secret that this is a good bit of gear. My bagging improved the day I bolted mine up and I never looked back. Plenty of people slay on the U-bolt types, very talented baggers, but in my opinion things happen on a ballhook that a U-bolt will try to sabotage.
    Your fold away platform idea sounds cool. I considered one where it folds down and around and becomes a vertical setup. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create!

      another option would be the Valor. I want the screw on base type.
      Don't really want to spend more then the bag on a swivel.

        Check ebay too. The seller I bought 3 from offered free shipping on 2, and a 15% or so discount above $50. That bag you linked is a good one - it's a good all around bag & you can really pound it if you feel like it, but it's small enough to play around with. It's just a touch smaller than the one I learned on.

        I'd also recommend going with a ball hook swivel to start, but they seem expensive at first.

        Here's a link to the video that speedbagseaweedman mentioned: http://www.speedbagforum.com/forums/...ead.php?t=6266

          Thanks for the info! I'll order to bag and consider the swivel.

            Thanks SSM!
            It might be a couple weeks, or so, to get this finished. I enjoy building things and I want it to look professional.

              I'm new at this, but I have to say I'm very happy with the Title #7 bag
              Love the quality of it and to me it has a great bounce.

              I'm glad I started with this size. I'm more interested in the work-out then trick speed bagging at this time, so size/weight is good for pounding it and the shoulder work.

              I certainly would recommend it to anyone starting out.

              I'm currently using the Valor chain link swivel ($20), but I want to get the SwivelTek LTX Ball Hook Swivel, when/if they come available

                  The Title 7x10 is an excellent bag for beginners and anyone looking to learn a new skill. I use mine a lot. You may want to change out the bladder to an orange one though. It'll give it the action needed to progress.
