    PortaSpeed by Sifu George Hajnasr Review Coming up

    I'm excited to bring a video review of the PortaSpeed by Sifu George Hajnasr. Just ordered it this week and should have it by next week. Super Excited to use it. Look for a detailed review coming in the next couple weeks.

        So you're telling me that I can go camping and speedbagging at the same time?


        Amen.



        EDIT: Anybody know what kind of swivel it comes with? It obviously works with all direction hits..

              Looking forward to your review.

              I'm especially interested in your opinion on how it responds to sided hits.. Video looks like minimal wobble so I'm optimistic.

                BagBoy.... The only problem with my review is I'm not very good myself. So when you talk about side hits....Not sure I'm your guy to give a great take on how it does(haha). But I will do my best. This is a process. Only been at it for 2 months. After getting this portable platform that will make 3 platforms for me in 2 months.....8 bags..... 7 Swivels.....and all kinds of other wrist wraps and other things..... I need to stop already... But it's a lot of fun. My wife says I need to attend a Speed Bag Anonymous Group so I stop spending more money on Speed Bag equipment.

                  No problem buddy, I understand. I'm five months in myself so I know what you mean. As far as the addiction goes and money spent I can totally relate.

                  And if there is a speed bag rehabilitation center, I will not be attending

                      Are these still available for order? I've written a few times to check but never received a response they look great

                        I've thought the same thing. I know he was trying to find a manufacturer that could make them for an affordable price, but I guess that never worked out. He did make a few and one member brought one to the gathering last year, but I've never seen or heard of others going out. Like a lot of speed bag products (mostly swivels) design and made by board members, the cost and time of custom making each one by hand gets too much to deal with. Most of them disappear after a few years. We've seen generations of custom made ball hooks come and go, as well as a few custom boards. A few board members have even designed, made speed bags.

                        I always wanted to get a Portaspeed to do some local gigs, but I don't think it will happen.

                          Yeah, Patrick brought his shiny new PortaSpeed last year. I have not heard from Patrick, hope he attends #SpeedbagX.

                          For my custom hand made Arc ball hook swivel, I do wonder myself how long I will continue to make it. My will to do it goes up and down. Yeah, its a lot of work, but when I'm not having technical problems it is a very relaxing and satisfying type of work. As I spend the time toiling, attending to detail, going for as close as I can get to perfection on each piece, I can let my mind drift and wonder about who might use this thing, and what amazing things they might do with it. Pretty much every person who gets one will be able to do things with it that I cannot, things that would amaze me. Sometimes I get to feeling like Hattori Hanzo making a katana.

                          Other times, its just tiring. old. rote.

                          I called the Arc the "Mark 2" (Mk.II) while I developed it. Just saying.

                            Well I guess that answers my question.
