Much better than the concrete pell I was using before anyway! As for normal punching bags, they always seem to split at the seams before too long when I hit them with sticks. -----Original Message----- From: Van Harn, Steve [mailto:Steve.VanHarn@TENNANTCO.com] Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 4:13 PM To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] Re: Tire bags Just for additional input, not all tires will shock back or rebound. I constructed mine out of racing slicks. Had a friend who raced on the small circle tracks and he gave me all the used slicks I wanted. They're very smooth, wide (I only needed 6 for a full 6'5" tower and have soft sidewalls so they deform easily. They work great for developing that penetrating leg shot but that benefit also has a drawback. The tire absorbs all the force(easy on the body) but causes you to develop a bad habit of leaving the stick on the target and not drawing it back. I've been considering making another "traditional" one just to counteract this.
