Get a mr Sanbag and a bag from one of the sewers on the stitching list - my two cents !


Find a place for indoor shred too !

Wow alot of reviews of the Mr Sandbag are extremely negative. Like some say they split open after 2 weeks or even in one case 4-5 days. I expect my bags to last me at least a few months, that's just crazy.

I doubt some of those reviews are credible in a way. Rarely did I ever find a bad bag whenever I ordered a huge batch. Some stitched extremely unevenly, but rarely busting open.

I've had 4 mr sandbags and I can only say good shit about them. I consider them my MOST durable bag, not my LEAST.

those reviews are from people who chicken scratch the bag all day long. Doing that to a footbag is like banging your tennis racket off the corner of a table constantly.

mr sandbags are good bags that should have a decent life span if you take care of them. The material is a glossy velvet so naturally if u let it get too dirty, holes will appear and sand will leak out. The same goes for facile.

If you just want to KICK with your friends and not freestyle, then i suggest buying a crotched bag, cheaper and more durable. However, for freestyling, the best choice would be sandmans, due to their cheap cost and no break-in time.

^^^^EXACTLY

mr. Sandbags are a very durable bag

say they split or whatever after 4 or 5 days is the same thing with EVERY bag you use if you toe scratch it everytime you play with it

love you bags than thou shalt love thee back =)

I have owned about 3 Mr.sandbags and only 1 of them got a hole in, but it still served me well for quite some time.

I just got 3 Mr. Sandbags and one of them after 10min of kicking busted a seam and started leaking sand... I think it has to do with the consistency of the stitching for each bag, because the other two are great.

To the guy who's Mr. Sandbag exploded, contact freedomfootbags, (if you ordered from them) I'm sure they'll help you out, maybe even get you a new free one?
