I get a stupid number of packages everyday, so inevitably, I forget what's coming.
Got a nice surprise today: a brand new speed bag, one of Balazs Lazer bags. Don't get me wrong, I love my Cleto Reyes bags, but I'm also an equipment junkie. Yep, I have a sickness. If it's a piece of equipment related to a sport or hobby that I enjoy, then I have to have it. Sooner or later, I'll end up owning a ridiculous number of bags, just because.
So, this Balazs bag arrives, and immediately I want to play with it, but Balazs has other ideas.
First, fill the bag to 2 pounds and let it sit for 15 minutes, occasionally rolling it and kneading it on a hard surface. Okay. I only managed to wait about 5 minutes.
Then, fill it to 4 pounds and repeat. Again, 5 mins was all I could handle.
THEN... fill to 6 psi and back it off to 5 psi EXACTLY. Okay, done.
Downstairs I go, and pop it on the swivel.
The Lazer bag is totally different than the Cleto. It's very round, and has very little taper from the hook to the belly of the bag. Whereas, the Cleto has a nice, longish, shape.
The Lazer bag feels every bit as nice as the Cleto Reyes bag.
I am impressed.
Whether or not I prefer the stumpy round Lazer bag or the long, elegant Cleto bag has yet to be determined. I've had the Lazer bag all of an hour so far.
Will update when I have a more formed opinion.
