    bag tongue

    Small annoying problem. I have a pro mex small (red) bag. The tongue keeps sliding sideways exposing the bladder. It takes about 6 hrs of hitting (not continuous) and it slips again. I think I have it inflated correctly and it is laced tight. Suggestions? Maybe put a larger piece of leather/material over the tongue and reinflate?

    Have you ever tried putting talcum powder inside the bag before inserting the bladder? This is Trainer Raul's trick. It helps to keep the bladder in place once you've got the valve inserted into its hole. Then add air gradually, stopping to squeeze and rub the bag every so often. This should 'seat' the bladder and it should stay in place as you finish out inflating the bladder. The key is getting it inserted so that it doesn't twist inside as you punch on it later. It IS very tricky to try to slide that leather flap down smoothly. Especially if you have 'man hands.' There's a funny 'Seinfeld' episode about 'man hands'...

    Anyway, I hope this suggestion helps.

      Thanks lady! I'll give it a try. Seinfeld--a classic sitcom...but took me a while to get in to it.

        I found the clip. I crack up every time I see this scene.
