feel of 32 abshire and mr. sandbag

Post by CheeseMan »

i've had my 32 abshire since christmas and i've been trying to break it in. when it's fully broken in, should it stall like a mr. sandbag? since when i stall with the 32 panel, it still wobbles and rolls around.

abshires take a long long time to break in. my abshire was here about jan 15th, and i worked it for three months. im just now getting to where i can actually shred it, but ive got better bags now, that i like more. so i use them.

an abshire probably wont ever stall like a sandbag, since theyre small 32s, meant to be round. once broken in, yeah, theyre maybe the best. but that takes forever.

just keep finger rolling and kicking it, and itll become choice sooner or later. dont give up on it.

peace

It really depends. I've had 3 abshires and each had a different color scheme and stitching style. I would strongly say that it really depends on what types of colors you want on a bag - strong or weak, to calculate on it's overall performance and longevity. Most of my bags have had moderate to weak colors to them, so my break-ins with abshires have been short (a couple of weeks).

Different colors of facile are different thicknesses. The thicker the material, the longer the break-in.
