Boxing/Smallest speed bag

Question
Hi Alan,
I bought the Everlast 6"x4" x-small speed bag. Nice bag, pretty fast. I've mastered it and now I would like a smaller one to increase my speed even more. I can not find a smaller bag. Do you know of a smaller bag available?
Hi Paul,
In my experience the 6x4 has been the smallest I have seen. I have several that size, but I actually prefer using the 8x5 size.
I'm not saying they don't exist, but I haven't seen any advertised. Speed Bag "sizes" are kind of relative to the company making them, and the style or shape. It is very easy to get several bags of the same "size" from different companies and one will look slightly fatter or longer than the other.
I hope this answers your question. Good luck in your training.
sincerely,
Alan Kahn
