Well the pro-box extreme peanut arrived today and first impressions are good! the leather is nice and it is very solidly put together it is sized inbetween the Everlast 6x4 and THE Everlast 5x8 a really nice size and a nice fat shape although i may have it pumped up a bit hard in the pictures the loop is of very thick leather and should last forever, i will put it through its paces at the weekend and let you all know what i think and if i am feeling really energetic i might even make a video.:D

Wow! That is a very rugged-looking bag. Can probably take a heck of a beating. Congrats!

:( :( It's starting to look more like me. Somewhere between a six pack and a case. I have to loosen my laces to fit around my bag belly. Time to start "punch and riding" again. :o
Hope it hits well.

Well even though i have a heavy cold:(:D i tried the peanut out today!!
Performance...7
durability.......9
speed...........8
balance.........7
Price.............9
overall a good solid bag made to take a pounding, i like the fact the seams are on the inside so it is kind to the hands in winter, it is slightly out of shape but i think this will rectify itself with use and the loop is a bit stiff also time will wear this in, i think i will get a lot of use out of it as it is an ideal size,so if you want a solid fast cheap bag i would recommend it.<)BL<) oh and Tim a video will follow soon.:)

Now there's a true baggist, hitting the bag when sick.
Fingers, take it easy and get better quick. We love your bag reviews.

Well i had some spare time so i gave this bag a real workout!!.....and the bladder burst:eek: i could of sent it back but with the cost of postage it was hardly worth it when i took the bladder out it is tiny about the size of an orange!! so i put in a spare Cleto reaes bladder i had and what a difference it is now a well balanced quality bag! slightly heavier than before but it handles like a dream.....well that could just be me of course!:D<)BL

Thanks for sharing that fingers. Can't believe the bladder popped. You should give them a call and ask them to send you a spare bladder...at least.;) Must be the size of those fists.:D:D

Perfect! I used my spare Cleto Reyes bladder in the Title. Did you over inflate the bag fingers? It's kind of put me off buying one.:o

It's kind of put me off buying one.:oUsed it at 4lb mate! the bladder got a small pin sized hole at the top i think it may have been pinched by the leather flap that covers the top! but it was a very small bladder, the bag itself is well worth £20 just be prepared to change the bladder i may have just been unlucky:( i noticed that the bladder in those dodgy E-bay bags was half decent! might make a decent spare.:)

Hopefully, Sugar Rays will have the white fighting sports on stock. They have a habit of taking your money when they don't even stock the item. I'll be giving them a call before ordering. ;)

Hey fingers, I just ordered another Everlast 6x4 from sports direct and ordered the Extreme peanut ball from Sugar Rays. :)
I have called Sugar Rays a few times over the last few months asking have they got the white fighting Sports in stock. Every time, they say "we should be getting them in within the next 2 weeks". :mad::mad: They are so disorganised, they p**s me off! And that bloke who yells down the phone:confused:...my ears hurt after a 1 minute conversation with him and he ain't deaf. I bet he's short and has short man syndrome!:D
Anyway, looking forward to having a go on the extreme.;) The Everlast will be kept in it's bag until my existing bag wears or even pop's. It's got some serious cracks already, even after all the treatment I give my bags. Some panels are fine but others are bad, but it's still my best bag and I think it's going to be hard to beat.
Thanks again mate for the review.:)

Wow! It looks and sounds superb! I can't wait to get mine now.:D
I took delivery of the Everlast 6x4 today, it's way out of shape and hit's nothing like my existing bag. I'm going to return it tomorrow for Sportsdirect to exchange it.;)
Thanks again mate.;)
