CLETO REYES Platform Speed Bag - Green/White/Red

Both sides of the loop are leather, and I like that there are laces hidden inside. In contrast to other bags that have raised edges that rub against your hands, the welting between the panels feels soft and is flush with the panels. My experience with this bag revealed a number of shortcomings in cheaper bags I've used before. The first bag is an Everlast plastic cheap bag in a medium size, then a Hayabusa described as a 6x9" bag. In the case of the Cleto, I ordered the peanut size (5x8"), and the loop is true to size. In comparison to what I am used to, it's quite small. crushed a $40 Hayabusa that popped at a pressure I had no idea what it was. My pump comes with a low-flow setting, so I invested in it It should be possible to avoid this problem with this gauge since it should be used for many years, not just a few months. Cléto recommends 10PSI and this bag is harder than any other I've used - especially considering I have hit other bags and inflated them. Using it in this way doesn't hurt the hands (it doesn't, whether wrapped or unwrapped) but it is extremely fast- Therefore, I am going to use Approximately 8 PSI. I guess it loses pressure well over time, but if I want to hit fast little bags, I will have to inflate it or check the pressure every time for it does lose pressure over time. In addition to this, I also figured I would measure the bag given its small size. In spite of being sold as a 6x9, mine is over 10" long and closer to 7" wide with the loop included. Had I known the Hayabusa was so oversized, I probably would have gotten the next size up in Cleto. I guess I will need some time to work on my skills and properly handle the new bag before I can use my old tricks. But even if I were not of Mexican ancestry, I would love the heritage colors. It would have been great to get a Balazs, but at $15 more than the Cleto, and no one seems to offer free shipping on that one, I decided the Cleto was fine. This little guy seems like he's going to be easy to get used to. If you place a zip tie around the loop, you might be able to handicap the thing a bit, or you could dedicate a little time to becoming.

This bag is popular with students because of its speed.

Trash in its purest form. The third defective bladder I have ever had. The next time, I'll greet you at the airport. It's so annoying. I don't want to do business with them. Despite your request, they cement the first bladder in place but send you an extra one. I love it.

The bladder began to leak after three workouts. The toast has already been burnt. Before that, it was a great bag. It is amazing how the bag moves when you use it. Replace your bladder with a better one.

It looks like a good bag with well made materials, however I found the bladder tip to inflate to be damaged (not sure how much longer it will hold air) and I found it disappointing. The leather looked very wrinkled in some places to the point where it looks damaged. I am not sure how long this product had been in storage. My sincere appreciation goes out to you.

There is only one thing I wish the Mexican eagle was. This has just been mounted today, and I'm really impressed with it so far. It is great to feel this way. There was only one thing I would have loved for the Mexican eagle to be displayed on the bag so that as I knock it about I can see it fly back and forth triumphantly. I don't really have a complaint, however. I just wanted to make I love the quality of this product, the leather feels great against my knuckles, the package includes an extra bladder, and just by looking at the product, you can tell it has been hand made. I would definitely recommend it to others.
