Freedom Facial Bags

Post by Flippy »

I just checked out the Freedom Footbag web site And I saw two different facial Sandbags. There was a Dryden Footbag, and an facial Mr. Sandbag. I want to try them out but I'm not sure which one I should get. What do you guys think about these bags?

from what i heard drydens are better if you want to stall, meanwhile facile mr sandbags are good for the starter, theyre both cheap, so buy both and see how u like em....

LOL! SAM! These kids are young and impressionable! Don't give them ideas.

A sandbag is a sandbag. A normal freedom footbag is perfect for a beginner. Easy to stall and cheap so you don't have to hurt too much when you need to replace it.

I'm sorry I don't give my bags facials. That's just wrong.

Sandbags are a waste of time. (imo) Its cool to have them on the shelf, but honestly they are too floppy and just roll off my foot causing unneeded frustration while trying to learn new tricks. Grab yourself a 32 from one of the many talented stitchers on here

facial = lmfao

Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.

WEll, I've never been to big on sandbags, but yesterday I tried my Dryden out after giving it a so-so review a couple weeks before. It's definately not so bad as long as you have good style. Stalling is very easy, but it's sort of slippery, so it's not like you can stall a clipper at a 45 degree angle. It actually helped clean up my sets a bit, and all my downtime moves were fine. the only thing i had trouble with were triple dexes with double legovers. Plus, it is the ultimate dexless shred bag.

Mr. Sandbags are pretty decent bags for beginners, I'd say. I don't usually play with them too much myself, as I enjoy schooling with a 32 much better, but it's alright. i generally go for the crushed panne versions over the facile (facial = LOL!!) because they're not as sticky and made smaller in terms of freedoms go, but that's just me.

I haven't tried a Dryden just yet, but seeing the size and the material I can tell it can be an awesome hacky slacker bag. Not something I'd want to school with, but like Nathan said if you have the proper style than it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
