I think you guys are comparing your bags to matt emmings, which i warn you is not a good comparison. Matt's bags are perfect, do you really want to compete with perfect?

i never tried em, but a 6panel for 20$? no fucking way. probably takes him 10min now that he's pro. that's not worth 20$. and mine are probably just as good.

nice bag ... the stitching seems a lil wierd, like a bit uneven, or you need to gather more ... but great job

(not that i can stitch, so dont attack me, just something i noticed, and the thoughts that popped into my head :::: consrtuctive criticism)

The pattern for the panels seem a bit weird if you ask me, but it looks like a decent, if not very good, bag to me. Much props.

Dumb post

Joe Kulacz and James Randall, I think it is very immature and irresponsible of you both to make posts like this.

Clearly Marco and Pete have not used a Matt Emmings bag or heard of it's reputation, this does not make the stupid, simply because you have.
I think next time you go to post something like this you should think seriously about it and maybe make a helpfull comment to clear up the situation instead of posting something stupid like "Dumb post".

To clear up the situation:
Matt Emmings makes very good 6 panel bags somehow, many people say they are better than any 32panel they have played with. Because price is not dependant on how long it takes to make a bag, but on how well the bag performs, this means they are worth a lot.
I guess you could say Matt is the Abshire of 6 panels, he is an expert and his bags perform excellently, so he charges a bit more for them.
That is why he is able to sell his bags for $20 quite easily.

Does that make sence?

makes sense but doesnt mean ill pay 20$ for it. same as the abshire, i'm sure it's great but i consider my bags the best so i'll never buy an abshire. still doesnt mean i'm bashing either bags. just the price tag.

edit: this is the 6panel i was talking about.

Your game is only as good as your equipment. And the Emmings is well worth the low price because they're basically already broken in...well, they kick like it that is.

And Ballzinors or whatnot, there's no need to sound like you're teaching fourth graders and even less need to act like you're some perfect person; Pete's posts regarding the Emmings were dumb and they pointed it out. So there. Don't be such a priss.

I agree with Henry and Sam. Nic, did you see Pete's original unedited post?

Freedom Footbags would never sell bags that are crap, and for $18 and with Allan Hagget's review, I think I may be picking one up soon.

Pete · Post by **Pete** » 14 Oct 2005 15:09

you're all gonna waste your money then. what's so hard about making a cube out of fabric? if it was sooo great, everyone would make 6panels and not 32s.

the IQ of ppl on this forum is lower than the amount of panels on my footbags!

HG · Post by HG » 14 Oct 2005 15:39

no actually I like matt's bags better than most 32's. Im probably not gonna buy another 32 (except doc bags) ever. Emmings 6 panels.

Its not the number of panels, its the way the bag PLAYS. i could make a 32 panel out of dried up shit, but would you want that over an amazing 6 panel?

i know. my 32s are fucking awesome but i still prefer to play with the 14s i make. so do all my friends who play. they all agree that my bags are the fucking best. (we all played with random 32s and other kinds... ) I'm sure the 6 panels are very good. i never said they werent. i still dont know why ppl argue about this. i only said the price was much too high as compared to almost all the 32s. i mean i could pay a few $ more and get a quality 32. or a couple $$ less and get a Mr. sandbag.

now no more arguing. let's get back to the point of this thread.
post some fucking pictures!!

Yes. After reading my post again it did sound like a bit of a lecture

, I stand by what I said though. When you don't know something, getting a 2 word post saying your stupid is very frustrating for anyone, I don't think Pete deserved that kind of response no matter how stupid his statement is. Why sit there and point out when someone says something stupid when you could take just as long and tell them why it's stupid?

Anyway, this is getting really off topic (like Pete said), maybe if there is still an unresolved problem here it should be resolved through private messages or in a new thread.

Here is a Toby bag with several photoshop effects applied, this is a good demonstration of how to make something perfect look ridiculous

And here is the actual bag (it's one of his early ones):
