G95champ Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Our school does not do much breaking. We bring in some boards ever now and then as a reward to the class for working hard or something special. However we do not require it by any means. When we break real boards we break the 1 inch pine bords. We also got a several of those tan rebreakable boards like Century sells. I was wondering what is the relation in that plastic board and a 1 inch pine board. I am thinking the plastic board is about the same as 2.5 wood boards. Is that a good guess? (General George S.

karatekid1975 Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Hiya G95. I have a re-breakable board at home, and (to me) it seems to be the same feeling, weight, ect, as a one inch pine board (9 by 12 size). There are thicker re-breakable boards. I seen one in an MA store that is as thick as two one inch boards (9 by 12). I didn't try breaking it (didn't wanna have to buy it if I didn't like it hehehehe) to see if it "felt" the same, but I'm pretty sure it is. The benifit of having re-breakable boards is that it saves on money and wood. Wood boards can get expensive. Laurie F
G95champ Posted May 3, 2002 Author Posted May 3, 2002 We have broken both at the same time and the plastic boards are harder it seems. Real wood breaks quit eaisy I think espically if its only one board. The plastic boards we got are only a inch thick but they are much harder than a inch thick pine board..... (General George S.
