I was using my bag underinflated and I was smashing it, but once I got used to my 5x8 I pumped the 4208 up so it was actually tight skinned and it rebounds "correctly" now. The 8x13 bag has quite the arc, but it bounces like a basketball now. I never really missed those board vibrations caused by that huge bag after switching to my 8x5 ( :

I guess I'll skip those then, I like weight behind what I'm hitting. I suppose the reduction in weight(materials) is reflected in the cost.


Looks like I'll be heading for a Everlast pro 7x4, title colored 9x6, and the ringside 9x6 ultimate.

I'll be sure to post when I get them

Since adding the lowes pine disk to my platform, I actually enjoy hitting my top contender 7 x 4. I said some pretty negative things about it previously, but with the pine disk the rebound is better and so I will ocassionally use the bag.
