    New speed bag thoughts

    ended up busting a hole in my speed bag after couple years wear,

    i had issues finding a good deal on a speed bag back when i ordered this Jim Bradley Pro Speed Bag,

    Balazs LAZER Bags are 60$ postage for australia, im not that stingy that just feels like robbery though



    the title speed bag seems to have a slick side and leather sides? which is why i avoided it the first time, im thinking this will make certain sides feel different?*if anyones got this title bag? whats your opinion*

    i swear by my S swivel, using a plastic ball and havnt had any issues, couldnt stand the U bolt i tried out.

    just looking for some solid recommendations on a 6x9 thats accessible via postage

          Are you an Essendon supporter? Check out the Hickey ball.

Can you post a picture so we can see which Everlast bag your talking about... I bought the title Black bag when they first came out (some years ago) Had to send it back because it was misshapen, But I did hit on it before I sent it back and it hit fine, None of the sides had a slippery feel to it, But I can't give out an opinion of how it will hold up, Just because I sent it back...Ralph

            Sorry Ralph i throw you off ALOT with that first post, thats reassuring about the title bags sides not being slippery, im getting interested in some products to help preserving my bag this time. *cheers for the tip on the replacement bladders*

            I sure get this thing moving so slower wont be an option, after looking around im beginning to think my platform is whats letting me down in achieving more speed *then again i bloody dont know* ill have to find some footage, you guys will get a great laugh out of all the reverb :P

              Proud supporter of the Gold Coast Suns haha, i doubt it being recognized up here, any noticeable differences between this and the pro ball? might be nice for a change up

                I just think it's a nice looking speedball.

                I'm a Pies supporter but you will forgive me because I am a foreigner and I didn't know the hate others had for Collingwood when I first found footy and had to choose a side. Here's to a great 2017 season. How about that Jack Bowes?

                  The hate for the Pies is something deep, i dont actually know where it began though, That young fella is going to do some damage on the field this year cant wait!

                    Anyone ever tried repairing a speed bag? just till my new one arrives

                    going to get the sewing kit out in the morning, little bit of love and perhaps some tape and i might get a couple more hits out of her?

                      I reckon you should go for a Jim Bradley again.

                        Yes it's been done, I've seen some stitched up. Anymore duct tape is the preferred quick and dirty repair material, especially if it's on a bag that is going to be eventually retired.
