Hi, newbie here from the UK, so please go easy on me! I bought 2 Title Speedbags recently as I really liked the size and look of them but the only problem is no matter which way I hit them they wouldn't go straight! Which probably isn't surprising as they were both lop-sided to varying degrees (see pictures of the 2nd one). I noticed that they were made in China, obviously because it's cheaper to have them made there. [I had the same issue with two Everlast 9" x 6" bags also which were also lop-sided and again made in China].Have I just been unlucky? So does anyone know of an 8" x 5" bag that's more or less guaranteed to be of good quality and so probably not made in China? Thanks for any help.

Originally posted by bernardblackhurst View PostMany thanks stefoz. I'm using the same swivel as I used my old speedbag on and that worked fine. I'd have expected the new bags to be more regular shaped but maybe I'll let a little air out of it and see if that improves things. Thanks for the tip.Last edited by REB; 04-19-2017, 04:58 PM.

My theory is : When I looked at the bottom of the bag where the 2 seams align to the air valve, The 2 seams should align with the center of the air valve. In other words, you should be able to draw a straight line between the seams end thru the air valve to connect together in a direct straight line. One of the seams on this particular bag was misaligned by 3/32 of an inch, which made the one panel lopsided. Just a theory thoughLast edited by bernardblackhurst; 04-21-2017, 07:06 AM.

Originally posted by ventanakazTrust me, When you replace that black bladder (butyl rubber) With one of Titles latex orange replacement bladders you'll like the bag much better, BTW the bladder is sewn into the bag at the nipple of the bladder, you'll have to pull the threads holding the bladder on, But be very careful not to cut the leather, You can use a dental pick to pull up on and break each thread... Good Luck and happy baggin...Ralph
