prefer wood

Because fiberglass is for insulating a roof or a refrigerator not 
for making a tool handle...Yea I know it's strong and modern and 
lightweight,,,but the cavemen didn't use it, and whats good for them 
is good for me (ugh grunt...) And also, from a hippie perspective, 
"It's like ORGANIC man...like wow" so I guess I just like the energy 

of the wood...But by all means enjoy your spaceage tool, it's a free 
country :)

I have a heavy bag....
Do you mean a big punching bag?

....with a really hard spot that hurts your hands and I have it 
marked with tape.

Try boxing gloves :)

it is funny now, but I was pissed at the time...

I can imagine so!
Duct-tape has oh so many uses, you gotta love it.
