Sandmaster, Mr.Sandbag or Mr.Sandbag facile

Rad · Post by **Rad** » 01 Apr 2006 12:18

I'm starting to get into freestyle and all I have is a dirtbag from worldfootbag.com. Sandmaster is about as expensive as I'm going to go at the moment. I'd like to get one of the sandbags, is the facile worth getting or is it better to just stick with the crushed panne sandbag? Or is the sandmaster actually better than both? Recommend me a bag under 15$ that would be freestyle enjoyable and easy to get into(somewhat).

Current bag:

In a beautiful dark blue and black.

I reccomend the chrushed panne Mr. Sandbag, but I haven't used any of the other's you mentioned apart from the dirtbag you already have.

I suggest picking up a Mr. They seem to be the perfect starting bag. You may want to consider The Dryden Footbag at Freedomfootbags.com

i think one of the raye's makes 6 panel for less than 15. 12$ i think. maybe 10. but that would be better than a sand blaster or whatev. mr. sandbag is the best out of 4 panels.

i would get the raye bag, but you do what you want.

cheers

I'd like a bag that's easier to set than a Mr. but has almost the same stallability. I think the facile fits the description but I don't want it as massive as a Mr.

Any feedback on a Facile mr.?

facile mr's are really good, but remember that they have a break in time, i would pick whatever makes the most sense for you

dude i was at hte same level as you, bought a mr. sandbag about 2 weeks ago, and havent looked back. i love my MR. and suggest it to everyone. plus it costs about 11 bucks (shipped), so you are under budget. get two!

I'm thinking about buying a facile MR. and maybe tricks of the trade 1. I'd like the added durability of the facile mr. as well. The facile mr. and the video would give me a solid entry into the world of freestyle I think. I'm thinking I'm going to buy the facile mr and the video from freedom footbags since it's only a couple states away from me. Is there a recommended retailer for the Mr. bag series?

ray, lately me and kyle hewitt have been diving into the art of 32 panel bags, if you want i could send you one possibly for free, because we want some people to try our bags

I would be willing to try one out, but I'm not very good. I would be good at testing at how 'newb friendly' your bag is though, if that's worth anything. I might be willing to send a few bucks if i like what I see.

when they are done they feel like they are broken in, and they are very sturdy. They weigh about 40-50 grams so yeah we would love to send you one.

Alright, I'll PM you my info and AIM s/n.

Right now I'd like some feedback on the facile Mr. bag though.

IMO they are bigger and very shitty..... just get the normal mr.

Really? I prefer the facile 10 to 1. I have 2 faciles and 1 regular, and the facile is easier to kick, stall, and is all around more flexable. Also, my regular started leaking right out of the envelope. I would DEFINATELY go with the facile, for 1 extra dollar. They are much more durable, and they dont even ffeel any bigger to me.

My facile was the REASON i nailed clippers, and I suggest them to anybody.

PS- Strobes really likes dirtbag's 32's, so maybe yours isnt so bad.

Yeah, I went with the Facile and I don't regret it. It has broken in well and I think it's better than the regular Mr. bag. My friend ordered a crushed panne MR and a Sandblaster and I like the facile better.

Hakker · Post by **Hakker** » 11 May 2006 16:45

Good for you. When I lost my first facile and started using my panne, I de-proved, but now i have more.

And the break in time is only like 2 hours for me

I dis like all types of sand most of the time..... unless I'm playing with Jims mr.sandbag other then that.... 32s all the way!
