Which bag everlast, rival, or title

[forthaney]

Hi I am new to the forum and would like to ask for some feedback on a few different bags

I am interested in a 9x6 bag either the

everlast pro http://store.titleboxing.com/titleboxing-everlast-speed-bags.html

Rival precision http://store.titleboxing.com/rival-precision-speed-bags.html

Title http://store.titleboxing.com/titlespeedbags1.html


The everlast looks to have thicker and shorter top loop but the stitching seams look like they stick out a more than the rival.

The rival looks to have a smoother surface but the top loop is longer and looks slanted in the web site image.

The title bag looks well made

Any input would be helpful
thanks

the rival loop is actully quiet small (have a tough time getting it on the swivel). my preferance is rival and i have used all three brands but it varys from person to person.

cool !!! Title finally got hte Rivals in !!! sweeet I will be ordering one to try out soon... prob a 5x8 - although I am addicted to the Everlast Pro - decisions decisions.....:confused:

[BillyMack]

I can definitely recommend the Title and the Everlast as I have both bags and love them both dearly - of the the two the Everlast is a little heavier and feels a bit rounder. I have the tiny 4x6 Rival (extra small) and it is a great bag but due to the size I don't hit it very often. I do plan on purchasing the Rival 9x6 sometime in the future; you should be fine with any of these bags...

Billy -

talking about the Everlast Professional bags -

do you think there is a big difference between 9x6 and 5x8 - i have a 9x6 now and would like to get a new smaller bag - would a 5x8 be a good choice or should I go down to 6x4 ?

I have a 10x7 and a 9x6 now.... itching for a smaller bag....

[BillyMack]

I don't have an Everlast 5x8....I do have the Title Classic 5x8 and it's a nice bag...I also have the Rival 4x6 and it's one tiny little bag...I would recommend you try a 5x8 first, it's hard for me to do much with the 4x6. Definitely no elbows on the 4x6 since there's not enough room to get my arm in...

Sure did Rival Bags on TitleBoxing (http://store.titleboxing.com/rival-precision-speed-bags.html)

You guys are going to talk me into a Rival bag yet.:D:D

Try a longer swivel, or your "beach modification". I'd love to hear how it works and I'd trust your evaluation. You just need enough room to clear the fist on a downward elbow, for that's the toughest technique on a short bag.

Well I ordered the Rival 9x6 bag with the

delux pro swivel from title http://store.titleboxing.com/dps-ez.html

Now I need a platform, which I'll moslikely make. I'll ask questions about this on another thread.

Its the black and white one. I think each size has its own color

Ordered a 7x10 today (adding to my collection).

I got my rival 9X6 today along with my Pro swivel

The last bag I had many years ago must have been a 10X7 or even an 11X8 because this one looks really small to me. Wow. I can tell that this is not going to need the amount of power my old bag needed to get it going.
I really did not grasp the size in my head. I'm not complaining at all though. I can't wait to get my platform up.

But as for the bag quality, top notch. It looks really well made.

Im sorry I can't say the same for the pro swivel. I was not so happy with it.
I'll post a review of my experience in the review section.

My 10x7 Rival came in last week. In contrast, my new Everlast Pro is a lobsided rock. I dig my Title but this Rival is a masterpiece.

Chris M - Buy a Rival, it will be money well spent. Like someone here said, "If you don't like it, I will buy it from you". (Whatever size)

Roscoe - I'm a fish but I can tell a silk purse from a cows ear.

Okay, you convinced me. I'll order one today.

See, it doesn't take much for me to buy new exercise gear, especially speed bag stuff. As a matter of fact, I just opened another UPS box 5 minutes ago from Ringside. Their hoodie sweatshirts are sweet. Really thick and plush with nice embroidery. I just got my second one just now. I love them, they are without a doubt the nicest sweatshirts I have ever owned.

You left out my top choices Ringside and my personal favorite Cleto Reyes. I have owned several speedbags throughout the years, including Everlast, TKO, and Grant. For my money, nothing compares to my Ringside 5x8 bag, which is what I currently have hanging (it's my third one). IMO Everlast bags are bulky and amateurish in comparison. The TKO bag I ordered was a complete waste of money. It was a 4X6 mini-pro, but the size was not a problem, the rebound was dull and erratic. Grant and Cleto Reyes bags are both good, especially the Reyes bag, but are a bit expensive. I've never owned a rival bag but you have aroused my interest in it.
