Adding Weight to Flag
I purchased one of Honig's white ball flag a year ago and quickly discovered it is too light.

Has anyone ever added weight to their flag? What material did you use? How much? Any special instructions?

Thanks.

Fishing sinkers, embed them in the existing sand. Available at your friendly neighborhood Walmart fishing & hunting dept.

Better be sure you don't throw an altered flag and injure someone.

Athletic tape will add weight but not create any foreign particulates that might injure a player.

In the past prior to the lawsuit epidemic I did use fishing sinkers.

A little tape works good. We use black ball flags with the black pants and electrical tape seems to work great. Long toss flags are the best thing out there (especially for backjudges)

The NFL got sued for an unaltered flag that hit a player in the eye. We can be sued for anything under the right circumstances.

Peace
