    why do people put tape on heavy bags

    Why do some people rap tape around their heavy bags?

    does it make it tougher or softer what does it do

    protect it from tearing and from ulging up in the middle because that's where it is hit the most time so most worn down

    Or just a cheapass way of repearing so youu don't have to buy a new one every year

    Ugh, my college gym put duct tape around the heavy bags which makes it virtually impossible to do any striking without gloves.

    my heavy bag doesn't have ducktape ( I know it's duct but there is a duck on the package) but still you can't hit it without gloves ( specially made for lowkicks)
