    if u go to a sporting good store, they have a few diff kinds, u can go there and check em out. i say get some cheap ones, u dont really need to spend tons of cash on fancy ones since u gonna be beating them up anyway. i think century has some cheap bag gloves.

    Hi Bear7

    the brands may make a difference in the size of your bags. I know that several companies make speed bags but all are not equal in size. Ringside bags tend to be longer and skinner than a Titleboxing bag. For instance, an 11x8 Ringside speed bag will be a little more narrow and longer than a title bag of the same size. I would suggest you try several brands, and stick with the one that is most comfortable to you. Some shapes are more difficult to control.

    here is a link to some information about speed bag sizes an equipment.

    http://www.speedbagcentral.com/Equip...agParts.html#C

    Look at the Red and Yellow bag picture on this section.

    Small Bags

    • Sizes: 8x5, 7x4, 6.5x4, ,
    • Very fast and demand excellent control of punching power and swinging speed. Not best for beginners. Note the two 8x5 bags at right and the different shapes for the same size.

    Hope this helps you a little.
