I've recently acquired some different sizes of speed bag
From left to right:
Everlast 9x6 High Performance Speed Bag - $39.99
Title 8x5 Speed Bag - $29.99
Title 8x5 Classic Speed Bag - $19.99
Ringside 8x5 #RPSB (Size Extra Small) - $44.99
Top Contender 4x7 #CRPSB (Size Extra Small) - $19.99

The Everlast 9x6 is the heaviest, it's solidy constructed and feels like a ton of bricks compared to the other bags. Which got me to thinking, just how much of a weight difference is there amongst these bags? I appropriated the kitchen food scale and got to work ...
The Everlast weighs in at a mere 8 oz.

The Title 8x5 has a noticeably lighter feel, and the scale doesn't lie, 6 oz.:

The 8x5 Classic model is even lighter, despite being advertised as having approx the same dimensions as the yellow title bag - 5.2oz :

The Rinside 8x5 with it's elongated banana shape is a real lightweight at a tiny bit over 4 oz:

And finally, the top contender bag is also a lightweight, at a tiny bit over 4 oz.

I hope that helps put some perspective on just how much of a difference there can be between bags, even those of the same dimensions. The difference between some of these bags is a mere 1 ounce, but can easily be felt when hitting.
I don't have a lot of board time on most of these bags yet, so further analysis will come later.
