Mini Abshire v.s. Regular Abshire

richardabshire · Post by **richardabshire** » 12 Jul 2004 12:37

That is where a clipper rail comes into play. Since footbag doesn't have their own shoe, we have to build our own. The laver is a great starting point, but there are players that want more out of a shoe than just good stall spots. I have quite a few mods to make before I use them. I build a clipper rail to limit where I can stall it and I also make my toe box as small as I can. I use a mini and that makes my stall spots smaller and more defined.

Rich, are you going to make a new website like blurryworld?

richardabshire · Post by **richardabshire** » 16 Jul 2004 08:52

My new site will have a custom build, but will be filled with tested color combos and 3 and 5 bag deals for the people who want a consistent bag all the time. It will be aimed at the performance side of the sport. Avid and open players are my focus. A few years ago that market was small, but now its global. I want to cater to that market first. I will leave the intro sales to larger companies that can handle several thousand orders. I will have about six different type bags for sale in the price range of 30 to 75 dollars. There are several new levels coming in right now and the products should meet the demands of those levels in order for progress to continue. Hope this helps,Richie

So are your 32 panels going to cost less?

Shaun · Post by **Shaun** » 16 Jul 2004 08:57

There all going to be just 32's. Just the more expensive ones are more customizable and will be made for a high level of performace.

They start at 30.00, plus shipping. The quality of the 30 dollar bags is worth 30. The increase in price for the other bags is time, labor and the cost of the materials to make the bag. Mixed with that, the more expensive bags will have a more specific performance that may not help a new player or hacker. A floppy bag is good for somethings until you reach a level where that changes and a better bag is required that has the performance value needed. There is no limit to where this sport can go if we just push the envelope a little.Hope this helps,Richie

I'm just wondering, for those who have played with the Mini Abshires, and Abshires 2004 model of regular footbag, which one do you think is superior?

What are the main differences in weight, break in time, durability, delaying, setting, etc etc. I have a mini, and I'm basically just trying to find out if I would like to invest in a regular Abshire as well.

I'm looking for opinions from anyone here, but Richie may as well step in and say his piece too, since he'd probably be the best one to compare the two.

EDIT: Changed the title, it was supposed to read Mini Abshire v..s Regular Abshire, not Regular Mini.

Well I have owned every model Richie has pretty much ever made, and I have to tell ya that the Standard size is easier to stall when it is broken in, but they do tend to get floppy after being fully broken in IMO, but I do still pull one out from time to time. I like the Minis, for they stay smaller, even after being broken in. The Minis start off small, and break in to be about the size of the brand new un-used Standard. When I am tired, I like to use a Standard, but my New A910 Minis with the Newer Filler are just the Bomb, for they set, sit, stall, and just play better. Tricks just seemed easier the last time I played, and it was the first time I had used one with the Newer Filler. Richie always delivers Performance Bags, hands down. Check out my other recent posts, for I show a lot of Richie's Footbags that are in my collection, and some unusual Footbags as well. You can tell which ones are the Minis, for they are just so God Damn Small when new. Take care all, and I hope to be as good as my Bags are this coming weekend, and that is gonna be hard to live up to. Cheers, Michael

Here is a pic of a A910 Mini compared to the Standard, and for reference of size, I put both on a regular size business card. The below pic is of a brand new A910 Mini, and a very well broken in Standard. The first two have on the top row on the left have been used a little, with the red and white seeing more time than the green money bag, and the rest on the top row are brand.

The bottom row consists of two broken in Minis from left to right, and at the far right on the bottom row is a very well broken in Standard. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/ ... c07044.jpg

To my knowledge, a standart one is bigger, A910 is smaller and heavier.

Но я бы не купил бы ни тот ни другой.
