its not a very good idea to play with a wet bag , it will deffenetly not last as long , it may play better but will last less , break in the bag and it will play the same and last longer so ehich one would you rather have ? A wet bag that lasts half as less and plays good or a broken in bag that lasts even longer and plays good also?
I was playing in the rain and I didnt mind the wet bag thing.. except... I had to keep ringing it out because it'd puff up filled with water and unfortunately the bag I was playing with has rocks in it and its a semi older bag so the smaller bits came out and stuck all over me. The sand bag I had was even worse.

I have heard that playing with a wet bag causes the material to be much more eaisily damaged, which means you get holes earlier. I always properly dry my suderbag before using it, it has broken in fine within a few weeks with a few days finger rolling and maybe 4 or 5 washes.
my bags always get soaked in sweat like my lonn. we play with it a ton, and it gets completley soaked in our sweat. When it drops on the ground it leaves huge wet marks. But we can't help it its so hot here.
i've played with wet bags when it's rainy out. I find that they stick extremely well. However, i am opposed to purposely wetting down bags before play.
I like playing with wet bags - I never train with them but occasionally when I'm shredding I'll wet the bag - it doesn't make a great deal of difference. Actually I only do it to bags that are already nearly dead - since often that means that they've lost a lot of weight and the water makes them heavier again. It does make your bag wear down quicker. I also sometimes do it with bags that need breaking in - because it makes it take quicker. Usually I just kick that bag though - I don't shred much with it (since shredding won't break the bag in as quickly)
