normally just use the heavy bags, but once a week i get my friend to batter each shin with a long smooth stickuntil the ache, but it pays off i guess

Forget the stick, just keep kicking that bag. You need to harden your bones, not just deaden the area to pain.

It's not deadening it's more beating in callous :D

The heavy bag works the best for conditioning your shins. Hitting with the stick will just cause your bones to to break down slowy over time, AND THAT WONT HELP YOU AT ALL=)

Yep - kicking leather Thai pads a lot is good too. Better even.
