Answer 1

get a new one

Answer 2

Unzip or undo the laces on top opening bag. Take a baseball bat or 2 x 4 and start tamping down the inside filler. This obviously will repack the open spaces now in the bag filler. You'll probably end up with 6-12 " of space at the top of the bag. gather up a few pieces of old clothing (to refill in this space) tamping that down tight also. Overfill the bag leaving a slight hump and the re-lace the bag............It's called settling and this will cure it. Good luck.

Tape it up with some duct tape,make it tighter. And F.Y.I a heavybag is not for just continuous power punching or punch out drills its meant to practice combinations, shoulder rolls and your jab and mix in some power punches.

If all you do is hit it hard everytime its going to wear out allot quicker. So take it easy on it and put a little skill into the workout.

I hit with 975 pounds of pressure per square inch, with my over hand right, thats harder then some professional heavyweights and ive had my heavy bag for over 2 years and its still firm.
