Other/Mixed Durable sandbag for concentric-only work

[vitaminCoffee]

I'm interested in doing concentric only work as an experiment. I have been using only kettlebells for two years.

In practice, "concentric only" with kettlebells means picking up the bells and dropping them. Sometimes, it's hard to find a good spot to drop them. Dropping them tears up the yard, or damages the concrete, or the bells.

I figure a sandbag, maybe filled with washed pea gravel, would be easier to throw down repeatedly from a height well above my head.

Any suggestions on a bag that would withstand being repeatedly thrown down on concrete?

I would get a mat of some sort to drop it on and fill with regular sand, rubber mulch or wood pellets.

Pea gravel is more abrasive to the filler bag, and there are no bags I'm aware of that can tolerate slamming on concrete repeatedly.

You can try one of these slam balls. They may not be what you are looking for since they don't have handles, but you can slam them for a long time without fear:

Rogue sandbags with the traditional filler bags, very well made and durable, but not concrete slam durable. Like @North Coast Miller mentioned, get a mat or find a patch of grass.
