Hitting bag as light as the Title Classic requires a different hitting technique altogether. You have to refine your technique to hit faster and not as hard. It's hard to describe. It definitely requires you to keep your hands and elbows up.

I also enjoy hitting a heavier bag. I love hitting my 10x12 bag, it's like hitting a mini-heavy bag and it's a much more aerobic workout than hitting the smaller bags.

The Title Classic is definitely light.. note that is the 8x5 I'm weighing.

thanks for the pictures - are you sure those are both 6x9's that you are showing ? and not a 6x9 and a 5x8 ? the size difference is a lot !

thanks again !

The Everlast bag is a 6x9 and the Title Classic is a 5x8.

Yep, looks just like the one I got in the mail yesterday. First impressions and this is from only a total of maybe fifteen minutes of use is I like it. Chris M's right in that it's not about hitting the bag as much as it is just keeping your hands moving. It removes a lot of the effort needed to move the bag. I think I'll enjoy it however I did have to readjust my platform which although easy enough, I'd rather not have to mess with. Guess it's time to put up a second platform???


Do some bags tend to want to swing a certain way? Seems like my bags have sides that want to face forward more than others. Like this new Title Classic has a BIG seam where it's laced up and I kept turning it around away from me but it always seemed to end up facing out again. Or am I just crazy?

Nah. You ain't crazy. I have also noticed bags sometimes seem to be "weighted" towards a certain side and no matter how you hit them, that one area keeps showing up on the front facing me. Must be a gremlin.
