I play outside a lot. My Abshire mini I got from you lasted about 6 months. At this point, it just died, but it lived a good life. Its completely covered in fabric glue. I must have fixed about 100 holes in it.
That said, should I ever play with a footfighter on concrete?
I've been testing out one for a while now... Let me see... I guess over a month now, used an average of 1.5 hours a day, 95% on indoor carpet. It's got zero holes thus far, but is paper thin. I would have to say that any concrete usage would tend to shorten the life. I do 100% toe-ups, but then again, I do it very gently, so I wouldn't recommend that either.
I've never toed any of my bags up. I always bend over.
Problem is, I drop the bag a lot and it undoubtedly gets worn out eventually. Maybe I'll use the Raye I just ordered outside, and a footfighter inside.
