ATF Speed Bags

[Fuzzy_donkey]

I've read you all talking about the different makes and styles of speed bags in other posts, and I thought I would talk about the one I own, and ask if anyone of you ever tried or even heard of them.

I use an 8x5" ATF speed bag.
It's a company out of Montreal, Canada. I've owned a heavy bag from ATF for longest time and love it, so when I went shopping for a new smaller speed bag I thought I would give them a try. It's an unbelievably fast action bag, and the quality of the stitching and leather is very nice. So far I'm very happy with it, but it is the only 8" bag I have ever used, so I really don't know.....

Have any of you ever tried ATF vs. others?

I'll post a picture soon...

EDIT......................................

Here is the pic of my ATF bag.

I have not. Can their stuff be bought online? I found their website, but it seems like a wholesale only site.

I'm not too sure if you can order online with them. Probably can....
They have a contacts page on the website that asks what you are looking for.
I went to a local sporting store and got it special ordered through them.
The Website they have is pretty basic, but their catalogue is extensive. Maybe they would send you a catalogue to look at. I also use their handwraps for my heavy bag. I like the quality of them better then others I've tried.

I've never used their equipment, but I know one of their reps from attending several sporting goods trade shows. They seem like good people, but based in Canada.

Wow! Look at the stitching on that bag! Looks well made.;)

I was about to say the same thing -- if they put that much attention into the stitching details, I would guess it's very well made...

It kind of reminds me of the wieder bag. I cant find any of them any more. but it has the same stitch patterni think. only diff. colour and diff. name. the weider bags were good.
