What do you reckon on this type of loop? My concerns are, it's going to wear very thin and one day break. It's only had let's say 1 hours work and no more! It's a great bag, but I don't feel comfortable with this loop. Take a look at the images, keep in mind that there's a shadow where it's wearing thin making it look thicker, beleive me it's looking pretty dodgy! :D Fingers, take a look at yours mate and let me know if it's wearing the same.

UK when i attached mine to the swivel i used a cable tie to hold it in place also i let some of the oil from the swivel run into the leather not sure if this helped but all seems ok...so far!! just a thought it wouldn't be to hard to drill out the rivets and replace the loop with a new piece of leather say from a dog collar, might be worth it to resurrect a nice bag!!:)

Yeah I thought the same thing mate. We have a trim shop at work with some highly skilled leather trimmers who could easily put a loop in for me. It's a shame the bags don't have the proper loop as advertised.
I reckon this bag is going to hit me back one day! Right on the nose!:D:D

Did you get your bag from Sugar Rays? The catalogue photo shows a nice thick loop made from the same orange leather. It's a bit annoying to get something different. :(

I only hit to feel pain!!!!!
I dip my bags in concrete!!!!!
My favorite bag is the "DEATH BAG"!!!
I have holes in the wall around my platform from mis-hits!!!!!!
Not from mis-hitting and having the bag go in the wrong direction....
But from actually missing the bag and putting my fists through the wall!!!!
That's right!!!!

Looks like a great bag. I agree with Fingers. Find a way to change the loop. Any leather or shoe shop should be able to do it. I remember a shop in memphis that made "custom leather weight lifting belts". The guy did all kinds of bag repairs. Sewed seams, fixed bulging rips and did loops also.

Yes I too remember that shop. But they went out of business after I gave them the business!
I popped the buckle right off the weight lifting belt when I was power baggin'. Seams the were sewed once exploded like an egg in a microwave after I got baggin' on them, bulging rips and loops were basically fixed only to be returned as Bigger bulging rips and holes everywhere...
Sometimes the smoke would still be coming from the bag when I brought it in to be repaired.....
Why you ask?????

Hello Mr SMP aka Power Bagging Man,

I can totally relate to your experiences as I also have that level of awesome power.

I heard a story and I think it might be about you.

Did you once go to a fun fair with one of those Punch-O-Meters? You know the ones that when you hit it a weight is sent upwards that hits a bell making it ding?

Because what I heard was that the person who hit the Punch-O-Meter only used 1% of their power and the weight still went straight up in to a space orbit and hit a satellite which destroyed it and that is why GPS does not work properly sometimes because they have not had time/can not afford to send a new satellite up to replace the busted up one.

Can I recommend the bag and set up in the photo? I think it is the only way forward for you, but even then I am still not sure if it can handle your extreme power - so take it easy.

The best swivel to use would be my solid 25 carat gold swivel as it can easily handle the job, but you can't have it :)

Picture 1: The speed ball in use.
Picture 2: How to transport it home.
Picture 3: How to set it up. You will notice that the drum is angled at 45 degrees.

Hope I have been of some help.

Clubber Lang.

The rumor is true, I must admit. But, they did fix the satellite yet still blame me for their lack of a full proof GPS system....
And yes, I already have the wrecking ball set up in my backyard.... let's just say it is a good warm up for me.....but that is it!

Spinsmashpop,

The United Nations have asked me to ask you to go easy with your speedbag training.

Because you are hitting it with so much P-O-W-E-R this is being transmitted along fault lines in the tectonic plates that are part of the earths mantle causing jumps on the needles that plot seismic activity, via blue ink, on those long rolls of paper.

This is causing seismologists to issue false alarms.

They said if you could just send them a quick email just before you start training then they will know it is you when their needles jump uncontrollably.

Kind regards and thank you for your co-operation.

SMP,

Due to your extreme power (something that I can relate to very much).

I was thinking... is there a way to harness this raw energy?

Maybe if you connected some sort of wire to your swivel to an empty container (non-metallic).

Then the next step would be to find a way a convert the energy being generated when you slam the ball with your fists of granite in to electricity.

This electricity would then be stored in the non-metallic container I already mentioned.

After doing some very advanced calculations I have concluded that a small mid-western town in the US of A could be powered for up to a week each time you whack your speed ball.

I always knew that the speedy ball would be the answer to our energy demands.

You would need to control the speed of hitting the speed ball because too fast and the voltage will go up over the 110v that the US of A uses and then you would need to make sure that it reached the 230v that we use over here in the United Kingdom.

An empty family sized bottle of Pepsi or Coca~Cola should hold enough electricity to keep us in the UK going for around a month or so, according to my calculations.

Smaller bottles would be easier to carry and plug in to an electric car and should give enough mileage to go around the world a couple of times or so.

It is for a good cause so please give generously.

I have checked the science behind all of this with world leading experts and I can personally guarantee 128% of the time that it is guaranteed to work 147% of the time.

Kind regards,

Dr Clubber Lang

Hey, Clubber: First, thanks for all that great work with the United Nations. You've been busy since playing with Balboa, Second, my wife is professional math teacher and she certifies your above percentages as correct. I would have checked it myself but I can't add fractions. She can solve for "X", measure the circumference of Isoptoclyes Triangles and do formula's.

Amazing.

Speedbag, Thank you for your kind comments.

Some people said I was 'freebasing' and I am a Jive Turkey ;)

But you know I is for real fo' sure.

Speed balling is a stone grove.

Yes, since the Rocky 3 days I have appointed myself as the Chief Scientist for Speedbagforum.com and I never even asked Tim for permission !

Excellent comments about the measuring the circumferance of a four sided triange.

This is actually quite difficult and is something I admire. I will give it a try later after my lunch.

I do not know what I will be having for lunch but if I had to predict, I would predict it will be pain. Because I eat pain for breakfast and I sure know there was some left over.

Do not worry so much about the fractions that I quoted. The most important part was 'my personal guarantee'. You can trust me - Mr.T !!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not ask me to come to the US of A as a guest of honour or something like that - BECAUSE I AINT GETTIN' ON NO PLANE.

ok.ok I got one for you ya'll in the US of A.

a. The first speed ball weighs 2lbs
b. The second speed ball weighs 3lbs

Question: How many speed balls are there?

Answers to be sent on a postcard and 1st prize will be a lot of PAIN.
