Well, actually not an impact bag, I got a golf cart tire/rim. I took it outside and started whacking it. Flat left wrist, bent right wrist. A nice 'thud'. this would slide the tire along the ground a little. I would even say that it teaches 'heavy hands' thru the ball. Is this all I need to do? I think if i smack it about 100 times a day for the rest of the summer, I may be getting somewhere. Are there any drills or just keep hitting it?
You can check out the gallery / video section under Lynn blake. There is a video called Impact Bag that may interest you.

There's also a video in the gallery with Ben Doyle working drills on a tire. Here is the corresponding thread:

Don't overdo it, you don't want messed up wrists, elbows, or shoulders. Do some slower swings and some quicker swings but don't go for a certain number. You may wish to get an impact bag which would probably have a little more give and be easier on the joints.
I try the lay the head as well as the shaft to the bag, not just the head. I find hitting the bag with a dowel is helpful in this regard.
Get an Impact Bag, much better. As mrodock said, "easier on the joints". Just fill it up about 3/4 of the way with old rags, towels, etc. Much cheaper in the long run than a tire (because of inflation).

Go to the beach or a bunker and build a great wall of China and stay principled.
