Can anyone post a picture of what a footbag should look like

When it impacts on a stall? Everyone's been complaining about thier footfighter being too puffy like a bubble and mine seems a little puffy, but i really can't see just plain material collapsing on itself all that much. BTW i am very new, so that's why i'm asking. Only footbags i've owned previous to the footfighter have been those 5 dollar messes you can get at any headshop or hot topic. I usually just cut them open and drained 70% of the beads.

it should look something like this:

just keep breaking in that footfighter. after you've had it for a few weeks with lots of kicks and squishing, throw it up in the air and catch it on the back of your hand. That's what it should look like when it stalls on your foot.

one of the best tests I've found for seeing if your bag is broken in is to wash it in warm water with hand soap, get all the soap out, let it dry. Then, round it out in your hand by giving it a quick shake, then blow on it as hard as you can. if there's a big indentation made by your blowing, your bag is broken in.

right click on the red x and click properties and look to see what the url is - copy and paste it and then you can see the picture, for some reason it won't link the picture from the site

That's what Matt Cross posted

The best description of a pancake bag in action is Vasek breaking the vortex record and bailing to ripwalk. Unfortunately flipsider's media is down atm, I'll set you up with it later if possible

The blow test is definitely a great way to find out if your bag is choice or not. It does sometime fail to tightly stitched bags, though.
