Help repairing a hole in heavy bag

I did a search on this forum and can not find anything about repairing a hole in my heavy bag.

I believe one of my kids gouged it with something. Can some one give me some advice on what I need and how to repair a hole in the bag.

There was a thread on here not to long ago about rewrapping bags that had worn out. I remember someone posting about a bag wrap that Everlast makes; its on their website. That should fix your problem.

I fixed my bag this way, and it seems to have gotten much harder. When I kick it now, it really stings my shins. I know, conditioning the shins, but should the duct tape make the bag that much harder?

I split a bag and tried to repair it using duct tape, but it didn't take. For the cost of a shitload of high-quality tape every few weeks I figured I'd just get a new bag instead, which worked out great because I used every piece of the old one to fill my grappling dummy and make sandbags.

You took the word right from my head!!!!! THat's exactly what I would do. Everlast makes a gel wrap that is pretty good.
