Abshire Mini, or just Abshire?
I have an Abshire Mini. I'm no where near the skill level that most people are when they first start using Abshire Mini. But I bought it anyways. I'm not extremely loaded with cash, so I was wondering if I should buy another Abshire for $32 or whatever it is now, or just continue with my Mini. I find it harder to stall with my Mini, actually, alot harder, than with my Mr. Sandbag, so yea, I kinda figured, I should take a step back and work on just a normal Abshire. Any suggestions and/or comments are welcomed. Thanks.

My Abshire Mini is broken in. It's been broken in for... about 2 months now. I'm extremely comforitable with my Sandbag, and it's too easy to stall with actually now. I need to move up from the Mr. Sandbag to something more... I dont know... "up there" if you konw what I mean. But I know I'm not ready to shred hardcore with my Mini yet. Any other footbags I should start trying out? Trust me... My Mini, is DEFINANTLY, broken in. Josh Anderson, if any of you know him, had it for about a month, I was missing it, and he gave it back about 2 weeks ago... It's broken in.
just dont get abshires. Get a 12 panel from Jeremy Mirken, Senor Grommet on modified. They are only $20 and they are better than ANY of my bags. So nice. If you want it to be the BEST BAG ON EARTH ask for all zebra print. It wont last too long, but it will be amazing. Any other combination will take about 1 week to fully break in and will last a long time. They are amazing also.

alright heres the deal.
when richard abshire himself invited me to play with him and aaron and the SD crew i was indeed honored... and scared too because i absolutely am only a beginner.
i owned like 3 sandbags that i had been playing with up until that point.
sandbags are super super stallable, in fact, way more stallable than i like to play with, to be honest. you get to a point where that stickiness is no longer more important than a consistent set. with a truly broken in 32, especially one as fucking beautiful as an abshire, you will soon find your game will improve immensely, even only if based on the fact taht the blatant rolliness of the thing will allow your skills to stall the bag, not the sand.
you mentioned your mini is broken in, if so then it should be QUITE stallable!!!--- and your sets, if practiced well, should become exponentially straight and dependable.
my mini that i purchashed from richard that day, immediately replaced even my most choice sandbag
>
at first it was rolly, and a week later when i picked up a sandbag again i almost threw up at how easy it was to stall, but i could TELL it was too sticky to set like my abshire already would.
mines still not broken in completely, and i prefer it over ALL sandbags just because personally i believe its improving my game to stray a little bit from the sandy stickiness. it sets like a champ, and in a week after getting it i hit whirl, torque, and toe drifter all for the first time. like i said before, im a beginner and all those moves represent pretty much my progression in the game thus far.
we played with several of richies bags that day and last weekend too, hes testing different fillers/sizes etc. and from everything ive played with, ive enjoyed the mini's MUCH more than the standards, in my humble humble opinion i think a truly broken in standard is a bit too floppy for my liking, floppy meaning sandbag-esque, real sticky.
but maybe thats what you prefer... id say get a standard just so you can decide for yourself...
i dont plan on straying from minis, as they are prime
