I just got a sandmaster. It's my first decent bag, I've been using cheap crocheted footbags with those hard plastic pellets. I know its supposed to be soft and such. But my sandmaster is less than half full of sand, And just dont seem to hit right. It just seems to soft, And flat. Ive had it out of the box it came in for two hrs. Am I just not used to good bags, or should I go about filling it up with more sand. Please any replys would be great... SHRED ON SHREDHEADS

I've NEVER had a sandmaster. Was this WFA? Anyways, I believe that it should be ROUGHLY full halfway. I don't know why it's like 1/3 empty. Wait, is the bag big compared to Mr. Sandbags? Like 3 inches big? Maybe it's the way it's supposed to be. The descriptions say that it's really sticky so I guess the lack of sand should explain that.

i have a sandmaster, its not that great

if u look at the label, u'll see that its mass produced and made in pakistan and they don't stitch a good job since sand falls out a lot

also if u play with it a lot, it gets cancerous and stretches out

play w/ it for like a month and throw it away and order a mr.sandman from monsterhack.com

mr.sandman will be worth it (keep ur sandmaster while ur waiting for ur sandman)

One? Get maybe two or three. When you're tiltless or almost, go for a 32 but that'll come LATER. I'm still playing with a Sandbag.

Yeah, Sandmasters suck. They vary alot. You could get a very well stiched one chucked full of sand or you can get a shitty one. Sandmaster a very large which in turn make yyour dexs bigger which makes moves harder. I played with one for a while and I couldn't get a legover ( or are we calling it switch now?) no matter how much I tried than I got me a Mr. Sandmaster. I landed a legover on my 3 or 4 try.

Gat a Mr. Sand either from HERE or HERE

Good luck and keep shredding!!

P.S. Also, I don't know if you have Lavers (the ideal shoes for freestyle) if you don't you can get them HERE

well sandbags arent ideal for kicking as in literally kicking the bag. You can still kick them though. Get your self a 32 pannel bead bag and you can kick it and when broken in, stalls as good as sandbags.

yeh if you are actually kicking it mr. sandmans arn't too good either. They stall so well they stick to your foot when you kick them...
