First off - hello everyone!
I just joined yesterday and will hopefully get to know you all soon.
I wanted to make this post because I've noticed that when it comes to boxing equipment, the UK seems to be really lacking, especially compared to the US.
I've been looking for particular brands of peanut speedballs, namely the title XS bag and the Cleto Reyes range and it's just not possible to find them from a UK stockist and even if you can, they're ridiculously overpriced.
Speedbag equipment isn't the worst though - at least there are alternatives available to those brands I mentioned. However I was looking for a good reflex bag online yesterday and they're are just none available in the UK that are any good.
The two decent brands of reflex bag are Cobra and Title. Both have the spring close to the bag so it rebounds very quickly. The only ones available in the UK are those crappy ones that have the spring right at the bottom, which are just terrible.
The Cobra and Title bags are already expensive but when you account for international shipping it just wouldn't be worth it.
If anyone knows of a UK store that stocks this type of stuff then be sure to let me know.
