Throwbag maintenance.

Keep your throwbags a little longer and get one of these sewing awls.

I usually wrap mine in electrical tape or duct tape. When one busts open I get some lead shot, fill it back up and tape it up again.

i take mine to the Korean dry cleaners. Once I heard how they fixed a button for my wife...

I know I shouldn't have done this but i took a busted throwbag and put some concrete in it and let it dry and taped it up and man that thing goes.. I don't recommend using that near any houses that are close by.

Those old style (to me anyway) colored vinyl throwbags pack the shot way too tight, and when they impact the seams are the first thing to go....

The newer cloth bags have much more free space in them for the shot to shift around and keep the seams intact.

I've wrapped them in electrical tape or duct tape before too, but that only compounds the problem of making the shot too tight in the throwbag.

As far as filling it with concrete, geez man, spend the fifteen bucks for a new one....

The hardest I've ever been struck in the face was with a throwball. Granted, I haven't been punched all that much, but that thowball almost KO'ed me. I was it the tree, on spikes. The ground crew got the throwball stuck, and when it pulled free, it came at me like a bullet. Hit me square in the jaw, and my head went fuzzy, and my knees started to buckle.

I was OK, though, no lost teeth, and still on my spikes (somehow). I'd hate to think how that would have felt if it had been concrete instead of lead shot.

Try filling a broken one with pure silicone like you use on a window. Someone here on As recomended that to me and I did it worked like a champ thought about doing it to them all.

I refill mine with BBs and then coat the whole thing with liquid electric tape .

Yes, definitely going to try that one.
