Right now I'm using a Peng Bag and A Lesh Bag. My Lesh Bag is choice and came choice right out of the bag. My first Peng Bag is slowly getting there, and my new one is far from it, but will be soon!!!!!!!!

I've never used a Felix, so I can't comment if his bag is best. But from all the bags I've used, I'd buy what I'm currently using: A Nick Landes Bag.

I don't think he wants them called Landes bags, but I don't know what else to call them.

wow what was with the uneccesary necroposting of a thread deemed useless due to the fact that there is no best footbag, a choice in purchasing a footbag depends on your style and preference, so if the thread would have been called, what footbag tends to perform well with a (insert particular style) style, then it woul be relevent. no offense to big stuff, but it was a thread thats been dead for a year



...and just to be on topic you really cant go wrong with one of richies bags :roll:
keep steezy! my bag are for sale! in stock:2

I stitch and play with my own bags most of the time, so I don't have any extravagant preference to make any mention. However, I'm obsessed with Lonn bags, because those were the bags that I fell in love with when I started footbag. It's as simple as that, now that I think about it.

As long as the bag has good fill, weight, and is proportionally stitched, I would like it and play with it.

Don't hate. :roll:

my o'wheel bag has actually been my bag of choice for as long as I can remember... although I just got a waylon bag that's becoming choice pretty quickly.

I'll echo the sentiment...I love the bag I got a few weeks back now from Travis Iden. It's filthy good.

Ive never felt an Iden! They look so pretty.

I have SO many bags, unfortunately only like 3% of them are actually any good for freestyle.

Anyways, having so many bags that are of such a great variety I've learned alot about which ones turn out well.

Here is my boiled down list of bags that I have had considerable personal time with that turned out to be siiiiick bags:

- Felix

He is just so consistent and he has been making incredible bags for years whilst maintining his deserved reputation. Little known fact, he gave me my first strips of facile to make a bag. I held onto them for months as I learned to stitch and then eventually used the felix facile on my 4th 32. :P

Also another tidbit, at world's he showed me these two bags he'd made. Same colours and like.. basically twins, the were both totally choice except one was 3 years older than the other! Consistency! 8)


- Lonn

We are all foolish idiots for not getting as many as we could while we could. Every Lonn I have ever touched was melted butter. I have this one virgin Lonn sitting in a plastic bag, it is our holy grail.


- Ilja

They are the finest wine in footbag stitching in my opinion. They take a while to get just right.. but if you take the time then they can become so amazing.


- Mosher

Yeah, I really really like my own bags! I think that all stitchers should keep lots of bags to themselves and test the heck out of them. Also, being a stitcher empowers you to make the bag you always wanted, so I've done that, it then makes sense to play with it.


- Peng

She learned fast and now has finer needle control than I do. I play basically 50/50 between her bags and mine, we both use the same filler, materials and similar panel sizes now. I will be honest and admit that I get jealous when she makes prettier bags than I do.. which is everytime.


- Fletcher Funk

Holy shit! I was so shocked when I felt all the bags he brought to NYJ! He has definitely learned well!! My funkbag got used at basically every session after NYJ. Super super recomended. Also, he's a student of Mirken, MIRKEN!


- Mirken

I havn't owned a Mirken that was actually made for me or like.. bought from him so I feel like a poser. hehe I've owned two hand-me-downs (one is actually also a virgin in a bag from like 2k2/3ish) and the one I played with came to me as like.. silk haha and it played so nice and smooth. Someone stole it from me I think. Anyways, Mirken is like, gulp, a legend man.


There are also NINE MILLION up and coming amazing stitchers! I was only describing the few that I've had really nice experiences with.

There are too many footbags to talk about!

I currently and using a bag i got from David Clavens, and a bag from Brian Dennis. They are both really nice.

The Clavens bag is easily the best bag Ive used. He uses tungsten filler and it feels sooo nice.

Brian's bag is really pretty but its too light so I too out some of his filler and added some more lead to it and now its pretty choice.

I also use my own bags probably 40% of the time. I like mine, well because i made it. I mean they arent on the same level as an abshire but they are good.
