32-s

Commodore · Post by **Commodore** » 30 Dec 2004 08:01

My brother and two friends just bought 32 panel footbags. It looks like their filled to the edge. It's so round, hard and unstallable.

So, I wan't to know why do all the pros play with these bags? They don't seem good to me.

They just take time to break in.

when I got my first 32 I was all like, how the poop am I gonna stall this thing, but it kept getting better and better as it broke in.

What stitcher did you get it from?

Most 32 panels suck ass unless they are custom made.

Richard Abshire
James Hermey
Felix Zenger
Carol Wedemeyer (i dont recommend hers now, something wrong with fabric)
Patris

Do not get a 32 panel from a companythat machine stitches, only hand stitchers know whats up.

Yah. I conquer with Henry. My bags are 2 abshires and juice. and you can tell the difference between a custom bag (I.E, abshire, wedemeyer, felix, jbags, hermey....etc...) and some mass-made sweatshop baG like a juice. They're just so much ebtter than factory ones and the fact that they're custom made makes it even better because the guys actually pays attention to what he's doing. They're suffed because over time, about 3 or so months, they'll expand and become choice bags. My abshires are in the process if being broken in and I can't wait. Just wait a while and massage it and wash it and kick it ehre and there. It'll turn out to be a sweet bag.

commodore,

there are some BAD 32 panel footbags. They're machine made with bad materials and bad filler and no care. They won't break in right, they won't stall, and they go all over when you kick them. If your brother and his friends got ones like that, then I could see those being frustrating. The ones you have to get are hand stitched by footbag players and can cost anywhere from US $20 to US $40 or so. In this subforum, Bags and Equipment, there is a post at the top called stitcher contact info. There's a few Europeans listed, I'm sure you can find someone to make a bag for you.

so what kind of bags are they? store bought, machine made? or handmade by players?

We're beginners and we live in Estonia so we aren't very rich and we don't think about buying expensive bags in the moment.

Get some Ilja Mitrofanov bags - he lives in Tallin.

Yeah! Verena has an Ilja bag. It's really good, but a stitch broke and she (or we in Vienna) can't repair it

I just can absolutly recommend this bag.
