Thanks for the reply. I think I'll give a shot. I'll probably use a piece of leather off of some desert boots. How long and wide a piece did you use?

Leather Strap
My main reason for coming up with the leather strap design was to keep bags with big loops from flying off the hook. It also helped on bags with wide loops that barely fit on the hook. Since it is flexible and free-swinging, the leather strap does have a very smooth, seamless swing to it. I used belting leather that I got for about $30 at a leather shop. You could probably make 30 or 40 straps from one piece of belting leather. I bagged on the same piece of leather for about 2 years and it never broke. I sent out a few for others to try (Biff, Metaldad, Ralph), but it never really gained any traction. Glad to see fedora reviving the idea.

I just sent your ingenious forklift video to a new bagger fan in Houston.
He could seriously use some local expert help. Also, there is a new boxing gym in Houston with the Rock Steady Boxing program for Parkinson's.
Rock Steady Boxing Houston is located inside Battenberg’s Blackbelt Academy, Inc. at 2910 Mills Branch Drive, Kingwood, Texas, 77345. Classes meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:00am. They would love a speed bag demonstration/seminar also.Speed Bag

Do you have a contact name or an email address of someone at Rocksteady? Tuesdays and Thursdays would be tough, I'll see if I can figure something out maybe on a weekend.
Who is the new bagger in Houston, I'd be glad to meet up.
