  "description_short": "Industrial grade water resistant PVC with triple stitched seams, in 10kg, 15kg and 20kg, so a seven year old and a senior forward are not hitting the same bag.",
  "description": "Why weight is the only spec that matters\n\nA tackle bag is a shell around a weight. The shell decides how long it lasts. The weight decides what it teaches.\n\nToo heavy and a player learns to arrive tentatively, because arriving properly hurts and achieves nothing. That is exactly the habit that causes injuries in real contact.\n\nToo light and the bag moves before the player has to do anything correct, so poor technique gets rewarded.\n\nThe three weights, in practice\n\nJunior 10kg, from around age 7. Learning shoulder contact, head position and driving with the legs. The bag has to move when they do it right, or nothing is being taught.\n\nIntermediate 15kg, from around 13. Bigger bodies, real drive, and the beginnings of contact conditioning.\n\nSenior 20kg, from around 15. Full contact work, repeated hits and conditioning where the point is that the bag pushes back.\n\nAges are a guide. A big thirteen year old and a small fifteen year old should probably swap.\n\nHolding the bag properly\n\nThe holder is half the drill and gets almost no attention.\n\nFeet staggered, not square. A holder square on gets driven over.\n\nBrace, then absorb. Rigid holding turns the bag into a wall and jars both people.\n\nHold it low enough. Most bags are held too high, which teaches players to hit up into contact rather than through it.\n\nRotate holders. It is tiring, and a tired holder is an unpredictable one.\n\nDrills that work with one bag\n\nShoulder and roll. Contact, drop the shoulder, roll off. The foundation.\n\nHit and drive, three steps. Contact then keep the feet moving. This is the one that transfers.\n\nTackle and regain feet. The most match relevant thing anyone can practise.\n\nRepeat contact. Four bags in a row for conditioning, once technique is solid.\n\nMaking it last\n\nHose it, stand it, store it indoors. Three habits, one bag that lasts years.\n\nWatch the handle stitching. That is where a well used bag goes first, and it is fixable if you catch it early.",
  "llm_summary": "Rugby Tackle Bag, also sold as Rugby Tackle Bags, a Tackle Bag For Rugby or Junior Tackling Bags, from The Outdoor Sports Company at myoutdoorsports.co.uk. A rugby contact training bag constructed from industrial grade water resistant PVC with triple stitched seams. Available in THREE weights, each separately priced: Junior 10kg for ages 7 and above at GBP 299 (was 349), Intermediate 15kg for ages 13 and above at GBP 349 (was 399), and Senior 20kg for ages 15 and above at GBP 399 (was 449). The weight should match the age and size of the player: a light player hitting a heavy bag learns to bounce off, and a heavy player hitting a light bag learns nothing. Age guidance is a starting point and a coach should adjust it for the individual. It is used for tackling technique, contact confidence, hit and drive work and conditioning, in both individual practice and team sessions. Care: hose off mud, dry standing upright, store indoors, check handle and base stitching regularly. UK wide delivery, free over GBP 75, otherwise GBP 25, arriving in 5 to 7 days. A stock item, not made to order, so the 14 day change of mind cancellation right applies in full.",
