ProForce Paddle Clapper Target

[DDLynch]

I just purchased and received a pro force clapper target for use with my wavemaster. In all the promotional ads for the clapper target it was shown strapped onto a wavemaster.

I tried to strap it on to my wavemaster and the velcro straps are way too long. The only bag I would be able to strap it on would be maybe be a huge heavy bag, which I do not have.

Has anyone else used these paddle targets? Any issues strapping it to smaller bags (like a wavemaster?).

I'm torn between returning it, or going to the craft store and buying more velcro and trying to make it work somehow, but hen I don't know if it would hold up to the abuse I plan on giving it.

Any opinions or ideas would be welcomed. Thanks.

Yes, I have that clapper, and it's really designed for the larger of the two WaveMasters, the Powerline. It doesn't say so in the ad, but I happened to have purchased the Powerline first because of the extra padding, and when I put the clapper on, I realized I'd lucked out.

I didn't buy the clapper from Century, who makes WaveMaster, and I don't see something comparable in the Century catalog. I bought it from AWMA, and they have it shown only on their bags. The ads read that it's for medium and large bags, but no brand name is used. You likely have an "original" WaveMaster, so that's why the straps don't work right, even though the clapper itself fits well on the bag.

If you've got the knowhow to attach velcro to make the thing work, just make sure it's tight as can be. It's designed for that side-to-side movement only, so vertical strikes will loosen it. I use it on-and-off for a change of pace/variety.
