- something about that sounds weird.... inuendo ? (inyourendo)


I checked the other bag at Dick's and it had some stitching issues - so I kept the one I have. I deflated it and fingered inside the bag and got the offending bump to go away. So now it seems pretty normal.

I think I will try to make a video tomorrow with my picture camera. I noticed it has a fast frame mode.... I guess I have ot open a You Tube account now...

I will probably take my pump with me to the store when I exchange it. The people at Dick's (in Columbia, MD) where I go are so f'ing lazy ! they won't even use their pump when I ask them to pump up a bag for me. so I have to take my own... very sad.
I did the exact same thing at Dick's in Deptford NJ. The associate was helpful enough to pump up three bags before I found one that wasn't misshapen. The manager was upset that the associate from the bike dept. was inflating speedbags, but what are you going to do?

You're gonna look at the manager, smile and say: "the customer is always right...."

that should do it.

Yeah! I've got one as well. Its probably the favourite out of my smaller bags. Mines banana shaped also. Did have some teething problems hitting it in, the edges of the seams were sharp particularly around the bottom of the belly of the bag. Just gave em a light rub with some fine grade wet & dry, hey no problem now. It appears larger than my TC 8x5 and its definitely heavier, however whilst the bag measures a true 8' around the belly on the horizontal plane on the vertical plane the belly ranges from 5' to 6.5' giving it the banana appearance.
All said it is lovely bag to hit.
