Fast and very tough. Doesn’t rip or pop. The reverb/bounce back is awesome as well.

Great bag for the price.

I’ve ordered this bag a couple times , in a couple different sizes and in the past there has always been a problem , whether it’s the bag being an awkward shape or sewn wrong. I’ve had some that have had other issues but this one is near perfect. I got the medium size this time and it’s shaped good, sewn good and it’s fast for a bigger bag. They say it’s a 7x10 but I would consider the medium closer to a typical 6x9. The 6x9 is more like a 5x8 and the 5x8 is more like a 4x7. This one I got has a nice orange latex bladder built in, the leather is soft and as I mentioned, it moves and bounces very good , not only for its size but for any size. I can’t promise they will all be this good because they clearly have some quality control issues but Amazon has a great return policy so they will make sure you get a good one eventually.

Great bag , nice size , great quality too

Luv this bag. I swapped out a 7 by 10 in Rival speed bag for the 5 by 8 Ringside. The Rival 7 by 10 was a dog. very little rebound activity on my professional grade solid oak barrel IBF industrial steel grade platform I bought at clinchsports.com out of Edmonton (that IBF platform may be the best bang for the buck at $170 CDN). At first I thought it was the platform-but that perception quickly changed when i swapped out the Rival which was brand new-for this Ringside 5 by 8. It changed the platform instantly-to a professional gym set up. True rebound action-accurate in any plane off the barrel-and fast like crazy-using the Everlast Pro Speed Swivel purchased off of AmazonI am going to switch out the UHook Swivel for the Forza S Hook/Ball Swivel by year end after I perfect my combos on the U hook on this smaller bag first as going to the Forza Swivel will be the next step in my training to "bible bagger" status lol.Definitely a quality product-( I have swapped out the chain link swivel the platform came with cuz its to hard to switch out different bags on that type of swivel compared to the UHook).had it for appx 2 weeks now and put in possibly 6 total hours on it in that time frame-and it has only had to have two short pumps on the pump gun to add some air and given how hard I was working the bag? that's not to shabby. I can do machine gun (hand rolls) on this bag much better than on the Rival 7 by 10 which is definitely a bag for the beginner and I should have known better ordering it off the Rival site but their 9 by 6 was sold out. This 5 by 8 Ringside is a keeper. We have a 9 by 6 older Ringside bag in my ITC gym and it gets pounded on literally-on an Everlast adjustable platform by a few other bag guys (Seun) and the bladder there has held up so when i read the reviews criticizing the Ringside speed bag bladders? Not so in my experience. One thing to note. You better order a pair of RDX Tae Kwon Do or MMA Grapplin/sparring type light gloves to use on this bag when its new-as the leather is top quality-not to thick like the Rival brand-or to thin-its just right in its thickness but if you get addicted to the speed bag rhythm like many of us who practice the science of boxing are and hear that 3 count of the bag off the barrel to put you to sleep vs counting sheep? you will find the skin on the back of your knuckles including your thumb knuckle peeling off from hitting this bag as the movement it provides on a good quality platform is that much fun even if having 180 in boxing hand wraps on-cuz the back of your hands will show small tears on the striking points from feeding the speed bag addiction to the sound of a quality platform rhythm hitting a quality leather bag lol :-)Note: this bag is not for the beginner. you need to be able to hit proficiently on even the basic 3 count rhythm on a 6 by 9 in speed bag or its movement on the 5 by 8 if you cannot perform that basic speed bag combo with control and at speed and keep the bag rhythm uninterrupted for appx 3 continuous minutes? It will be to advanced for you. If you are at the intermediate level? it takes maybe 5 to 10 min working the bag to get used to the smaller size and quicker movement off the barrel. Came in the time frame Amazon stated as the items delivery date. Great tracking of the package once it left its point of origin. Great Job Amazon!
