I wish I would've seen this video when I first started baggin'. I've bought just about every swivel ever made- The Thrasher House swivel is the best. (Jeff's just being modest) The Balazs bag is too heavy- my hands have paid the price. Everlast bags are mediocre... they're lucky to be sold in stores like Dick's and Academy Sports. This is a rare video that is not being sponsored by Title or some other speed ball manufacturer. Preach on Jeff! You're the best!
Thank you very much Jeff!! I’m just like you, I bought them all trying to find a good setup. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch this. I hope some new baggers come across it and helps them save some money. Have a great day brother!
Thank you very much Lloyd!!! As I said in the video…I can talk about this stuff all day. I kept looking at the time thinking “holy crap…I feel like I just started talking and I’m 20 minutes in.” Still so much that I want to talk about. One of my friends said I should make one discussing the different styles of bagging because before he met me he didn’t know there was any other way to hit a bag other than boxing style.
In the process of making my own platform had already ordered a swivel from LMF After this project will be ordering a swivel from you for my sons Thank you for all the information and knowledge you share really helps out! Have you ever considered designing your own bag you definitely know what it would take…
Thank you very much!! I really love all this stuff. Most of all getting to interact with so many awesome people around the world who love it as much as do. That’s a really good idea about the bag. I spend a lot of time thinking about bags and what I would like to do. Lately I’ve been completely submerged in my head about coming up with a solution to my t-hook loop saver staying in place when baggers have a miss hit. I personally don’t ever have the issue but some people do. Not saying I don’t have miss hits I just don’t have an issue with it moving out of the loop of the bag. Do you have my contact info? I would love to see the setup you’re working on. 903-738-1312
Newbie here. I'm so glad I found this video. Lots of good information. Before I found this video, I had ordered the Meister bag, as an affordable option to learn on, because it was so inexpensive. But I'm glad to see that, in your view, it's a good bag. After I gain some efficiency and adeptness, I'll be shopping your site for the Bradley bag, and your fabricated swivel. Thanks for the great informative video.
Yes, I agree. I made sure to point that out in this video. I love the Jim Bradley pro ball, and in second place for me is the Meister. One of my dislikes is that it only comes in one color. I think they would sell a lot more of them if they came in multiple colors. I pointed out in the video where ever they are having them made their craftsmanship is on point.
@@gouldingsteve thank you very much! I love this stuff. When I first started selling Jim Bradley pro ballad all they offered was a red 25cm. I told them “you know, I can sell more of these bags to the same customers if we offer more color options” they went for it. Then I was able to convince them to make dual color bags THEN I was able to get them to make all of that in a 20cm bag. It’s been so much fun being apart of their evolution on the pro ball.
I ordered all 3 meister bags sizes and a couple swivels for the kids gym I help at to replace some of the old stuff before watching the video. I finally got lucky on getting something quality.
Thank you very much!! You gotta send me some pictures of them. I love seeing other baggers setups. Especially from another wood worker. I pretend to be a wood worker lol. I know enough to get myself hurt lol. Shoot me some pictures. 903-738-1312
@@1984cuatro you and me both! Have you seen the last video I posted of my AirDrum? That’s a piece that a wood worker can definitely appreciate. I built it 4 years ago and just now grew the courage to show it to the world.
Great overview of the many aspects of speed-bagging equipment. Jeff is spot on when it comes to freestyle bagging...and knowing what the best equipment for this style was...and now is. I've used all the so so equipment...and now those bags...swivels...gloves and yes...even some platforms now sit by the wayside. Save yourself the time and money by doing it right...right off the bag...punn intended...get the good equipment from the start...I wish I had....live and learn...sometimes the hard way.
Thank you for this amazing and helpful video! Really opened my eyes about all the parts needed to start this new hobby. THANK YOU. I unfortunately already have a chain-link swivel that you told us to completely avoid, but mine is shorter, with only 2 rotating joints, instead of 3 rotating joints (the one in your video at 8:00 is longer and has 3 joints I believe). So, is my swivel still okay, or should I replace it? Second question, what is the quietest swivel to get? Mine is noisier than a washing machine…
@@newmexiconewjersey what up Will? Man, I’m glad this video was helpful for you. I wish I would have had a resource like this when I started out as well. I cannot tell you how much money I wasted. Do you mind sending me a picture of your swivel and current setup. I really like seeing what other people are working with so I can help point them in a solid direction as where to go next. Shoot me a text. 903-738-1312. I like the question you brought up. In the end the swivel you will use will be determined by what you want it to do. You want to be a #rhythm bagger like me and Speed Bag Skunk you’ll definitely go with a ball and hook swivel. It you want to go super fast and ONLY front to back then get something like the LMF bull ring until I come out with my next swivel model which will be more of a boxing style swivel. And as for the quietest swivel. Hands down the EVO14XR with a stealth core ball vs the freestyle core ball. I use a stealth core ball in 90% of my videos. They are virtually silent.
I like your drum That you have on your site it's just a little out of my price range can you recommend one that would Fit nice with the bag and the swivel?
@@jimmygonzalez6244 I personally build all of my drums. Price range is a big factor in which drum to recommend. You’re already at $200 with a ball and swivel.
Hi Jeff, great video!!! I had to throw away my old bag that I hadn’t used for almost 2 years. I bought 2 new ones and the loop keeps ripping after using the bag for 1 minute. What am I doing wrong and do I just need to replace the swivel?
@@SergioSergeA what’s up Sergio? Do you mind texting me and you can send me some pictures of what you have and talk about your style of bagging and see what we can figure out. 903-738-1312
@@jimmygonzalez6244 you can go to my website. I only have a handful of the EVO14XR available so I would grab one now. I’m completely sold out of the 6x9 bags. I am expecting more in a few weeks. I can see if I can get a yellow bag made. I don’t believe I have any solid yellows coming.
@@malikiclique trust me bro, i wish I could have seen something like this when I started bagging as well. I’ve know people who have spent over $1000 and still unhappy with their equipment because they were buying from paid advertising reviews.
I got the speedbag today, I ended up clipping it on with a material velcro tyre wrap thing, not sure of it's proper name, it clangs about on the metal so i've put some sellotape on it to deaden the sound, but it still clangs into the wooden board so I think I might put in a sponge insert to cushion & silence it, I know you put that little vinyl tube insert in yours, does it also stop it from riding upwards into the board by trapping the ball?
@@Speedbagthrasher Yep i'll send you another e-mail once i've had a bit more experience with it next month with the size & specifications, i'm just spacing it around the room at the moment with other equipment, then i've got to rehang the heavy bag, using the thai bag pole for kickboxing atm, but I tweaked my shoulder & neck 2months ago unrelated to boxing so I haven't been on it as much lately.
@@ADontIDo I have 3 of them sitting right here. Mine don’t lose air like no tomorrow. And I did address the mine will loose a little air. Maybe yours loses more than it should. Maybe you over inflated it, maybe you haven’t added any aquafor to the nozzle, maybe you have a bad bladder, do you want me to keep going down the list of things that might be wrong with your ball? Have you contacted them? How long have you had the ball? Which size is it? What’s your normal operating PSI? What kind of air gauge do you to ensure the proper psi? How long have you been bagging? What other bags do you have?
@@Speedbagthrasher You're on the ball. I've had 2 mediums and 1 large. I think they recommend 4 psi max but I like the feel a little better at 4.5. I literally just checked my large that I topped off yesterday and it lost .5psi from yesterday to today. And I'm currently waiting on a replacement medium bladder which before failure would lose 1psi per day. Interesting enough I just got my first rival in the mail a couple days ago, 8x5. They recommend you put a little greese on the air needle opening before inflation. However the ball is microscopic in size like the white title in your video, too small for me. Would like to see you throw in a medium rival in your next review if there is one. On reddit they rave about them but you never know, maybe all the people are the rival marketing team. Anyhow, is greesing the air needle opening on the balls a thing? If not I don't see how or why else all the meisters go flat if my house never changes more than 10 degrees. Any ideas welcome. Thanks
@@ADontIDo I love the feed back! You run quite a bit more psi than I do. I’m typically around 2.7 psi. I have old beat up hands that don’t like much than 3 psi.
