so how about you?
I popped two practice 5 point balls on the sharp PVC pipe tops on our practice mobile goal. Both had a substantial flap torn in them, which inspired our Strategy & Gaming Mentor to draw sad faces on them, with flaps for mouths, and a speech bubble that said "Petey Broke Me".

I also managed to snap a mallet in two banging a PVC pipe into a stationary goal. Strong like bull.
