    I've like all the pro mex that I've hit. Fast bags.

      I have the black 7x10 Pro Mex bag. It is kind of a dead bag. but i think i got a dud because the leather isn't very consistent, two of the panels are as thick as rhino hide, and the others feel like other bags that i have. I'm gonna throw a new bladder in it, and see if that helps.

      The Loops on the pro mex bags are very stiff, and a bit thicker than title, and fighting sports bags (well the loop on my Pro Mex is. i'm assuming that they are all the same) and a little tough to get on a S-Hook that hasn't been filed down a little bit.


      Note the size of the yellow 5x8 title bag next to the black 7x10 Pro Mex. The Pro Mex isn't much larger. The bag sizes of the Pro Mex Bags do run a little small (not that that is a bad thing, but it's something to keep in mind when choosing a Pro Mex bag size.

        thanks...especially about them running a little smaller...I still plan on getting the 6x9 (red). I called a couple of boxing gyms and they said these bags held up well. I care more about durability than performance.

          Ebozyn,
          I've got the large Pro-mex and mine is a dud as well. Must be something about the proportion of the bag, because I can barely keep it moving. I love the medium red, and the small yellow though.

            The Yellow I had was fast and accurate. A bit heavy though.

              I have a 5x8 & the 6x9......the 5x8 is quick.....but the 6x9 is sloooow! Its great for learning new tricks on because you cant hardly overhit the bag....it wont get away from you. And they always advertise on sale, been that way over a year now.
