yeah..they rock. time saving wands. i use cheaper masonry string for any shots that are questionable. if its a crappy shot or unable to fall threw the canopy ....cut it off, tie on another bag and get the hung up bag when you get up to do your work. sherill sells the bags with a warrany on em. cant remember how long. they arent to expensive for what they are. my favorite is a 14 oz bag. with 8 feet of pole it can be launched over 200 feet in air. your choice of string/ fishline is going to be your handycap. i bought the poles and head a couple years agofrom sherril. i see now that they arre selling combos with case,poles,head,extra rubber,extra shot holder all in one. the case would be really handy... if a slice gets in rubber its useless.
