FootFighter Bag Review-By Henry The Eighth

HG · Post by HG » 10 Jan 2005 16:57

Hey there, I received my Footfighter footbag a couple of days ago.

I thought since so many people are asking about them, and buying them, that i would tell about my experience with it so far. First off, I have a bag with yellow hexes and black pents, cool colors.

Material

Right when i took it out of the package i knew i LOVED this bag! The material is very soft, and it feels so nice to kick. When it hits the ground it barely makes a sound! This obviously makes for a fast break in, which my bag has done in 3 days! So the greatest things about the material are:

1. I think a little more grippy than facile
2. Thinner, therefore faster break in
3. quieter, or maybe thats just the filler. Hmm. either way it makes for good sneaky shred sessions.

Here is the only con i can find

1. Since it is a bit thinner than facile, it may end up dying earlier, but i dont think it will die a lot earlier.

Washing

Washing this bag is not particularly necessary, because in my experience with it, it does not play worse when dirty. I think you should wash it though to keep the material in good shape. Not washing brings holes and bad things.

pros

1. Washing is just like facile washing.
2. When dry it is tough, but after a second of hand massage it is rockin again!

cons

NONE

Weight and Size

I personally love the weight and size of these bags. Its about 37 grams, so a medium weight. I am not too find of the 45 +gram bags, so this suits me, but it may not suit you.

The size is about the same size as a small lonn, which is (i think) a shade bigger than a mini abshire. And since it never expands, it will stay this size! This also fits my needs as a freestyler, as i dont like the tiny little bags because they roll too much, but i need something slightly smaller than a normal sized bag so it FITS on my toe. (small feet)

Pros
1. perfect size
2. Good weight for me, maybe not others

Cons
1. See #2 in pros

Overall

This bag is great for New players and veterans alike. Since it break in quickly, it fits the needs of a new player right away. And once broken in, it is perfect for experienced shredders.

I thank Ellis for sending me one of these bags, and i thank FootFighters for putting the best, in my opinion, footbag on the market!

i disagree with some things. The bag gets a little stiffer when dirty. I think the material is a lot slippier than my felix's its still a good bag to shred with but its my only one broken in right now but the performance is not my style.

Eli had some leftovers after cp so he offered them here. I think he's out now though. I'm personally waiting for Flipsider.com v.5 to open up more choices bitch! That and Richard Abshire's footbag builder. These two are what I'm aiming for....woot!

Just a warning, when washing this bag, be really easy on it. Don't pull on the material or rub it to hard, this will cause it to get holes, which you obviously do not want. Good reaview Henry.

Oh yea, I agree with Joe. When the bag gets dirty, it also gets stiff.

Hey Henry! Post a picture of your FOOTFIGHTER!
