My statement wasn't ment to make him out to be a corporate asshole or anything.. but he didn't sound like a freestyler.. circle kicker was a possibility. And the weight actually sounds about right, 1.5 oz would be about 40 grams which about what I'm looking for.

While I really wouldnt mind being a rich corporate mofo, right now on that type of corporate scale I would be more like that pantless beggar out front.

These are all more of a hobby than anything else. I think I sell maybe 10-20 of these a month. If I'm lucky...

Heh, and all that money goes to fuel the rest of my chainmail addiction...

I just bought one. I am up to try something new, and it's a good price.

Well, your check cleared, and I mailed it out several day ago. Let us know what you think of it once it shows up

Ok. I finally got the bag Wednesday, but got the chance to play with it today. It works. It looks cool. But it flies all over the place, and the surface doesn't catch on to the shoe when I try to stall.

It was just a first try so far, but I think it is more of a "take it to a concert or somewhere and play hacky sack with it" bag than a footbag bag. I bet if I mastered using this bag, I could master any other normal bag, since it is so hard to control. It is different.

I would suggest Martin to work with it some more...add some rubber links every other one or so, fill the inside of the bag a little less, and possibly add that top-and-bottom-connection-thing of the bag to the middle of the bag about four times...kind of like panels. That might make it more flexible and stallable.

Other than the sliding all over the place, it is a cool bag. It added more variety to my collection too.

Yeah, that is one thing I have started doing, filling them less. It does seem to work a bit better.

You need to master my 1lb solid steel hacky first, then you will be ready for anything. Or the flaming fire one, that is also challenging. Now that I started filling them less they have become easier to control.

..kind of like panels. That might make it more flexible and stallable.

Yeah, the trick with that is to use smaller rings. And I have done that before. The smaller the rings, the more of them there is, and the smoother it acts. I do have one metal hacky that acts just like a cloth bag. The one down side is that it takes me 5-6 hours to make it. To make one like the one you got takes me around 30-45 minutes. Because of that, the other bag costs 4-5 times as much.

Anyhow, glad you like it

i have been interested since you posted about the bags that are better to stall. I think I might wait a while until they are like as good as other footbags and I am sure if you work hard that can happen. Good luck
