    speeding it up ?

    K i know about smaller arcs and air in the bag and stuff. I was just thinking what would happen if u took out the bladder of the 6X4 made a loop of gorrila tape or hockey tape or somthing. and wraped it in tape or somthing evenly, it might be lighter then the leather. and no leather to absorb any hit from the platform or the punch. the leather seems soft. but if i use say gorrila tapeor hockey tape it is really thin and less to obsorb the hit on the platform therefore making it bouncier. I also thought it could be a terminal velocity thing. but i always thought the lighter the bag the faster. that bag proved me wrong i gues. tomorw im going to try this. Ill load a vid so all can see. ( though i dont like the bag much I still hope i dont wreck anything lol )

    I'm all for a science experiment. I'd say it may not last long though. Some of my bags have more bounce in their rebound. Melon ball bounces like a basketball. I have others bounce as much as a rock. Not really sure why. I'd open up Melon Ball to check it out, but I'm afraid I'd ruin the bag.

      Cant do it. The dirty rotten potlickers glued the bladder in on me and i dont think i can get it out without wrecking it. I cut the lace so the bladders in with no lace now. i pumped er up she seems a bit better then before but i cant see what difference no lace makes. perhaps its just in ther slightly differently

        You'll find most bladders are glued around the valve. I changed the bladder in my Title bag and used a hair dryer to soften the glue. It only takes a little warming up, if you try this, don't melt the bladder.

          The valve appears also to be sewn in. im just going to over pump it and smash on it till it goes. the hair dryer is a good idea ill hav to remember that.

            Personally, I'd never kill a good bag on an experiment. Why not try that on a new bladder or the bladder from a lousy bag.

              because i like all my other bags and i cant by any bladders around here unless i order them. ill just over pump it lol. ill try the bladder and tape thing when i get a bladder. Its actually a really well made little bag I was just disapointed because i though it would be faster.
