ready to move up?

Post by Vpicone »

I've been playing with a sandmaster for a bout 6 months and have masterd all the 1 add and I am pretty decent with a clipper stall. My question is, Is there a certain skill level you should be at when you purchase something like an abshire or a footfighter. What is that level?

There is no line that once you cross, a 32 should be bought. In fact, I suggest you don't buy a 32 for a while. Get a couple Mr. Sandbags and when you're at least strong tiltless, that's when I would go for a 32 panel.

my opinion: It's never too early to get a 32. Order one, and request a large size, because they stall better. It will make the transition into guiltless easier.

Tiltless - your strings are made from 2add or greater moves.
Guiltless - your strings are made from 3add or greater moves.
Tripless - your strings are made from 4add or greater moves.
Fearless - your strings are made from 5add or greater moves.

and here http://www.modified.in/footbag/viewtopic.php?t=8979 this is where I got it from. Also you dont have to order a Richie Abshire there are plently of other stitchers out there that are just as good, check out this link and good luck. :arrow: http://www.modified.in/footbag/viewtopic.php?t=6747

be careful, abshires take a while to break in, though i heard that theres a special pre-broken in abshires with no damage whatsoever on Abshire Bags Here

I finally got a 32 when I was getting sick of playing with sand. Sand is great at first, but for 9 months I totally got sick of it. If you do get a 32, get a bag that has easy breakin time.

There is no time when you are suddenly ready. You are ready when you feel ready.

I am still barely genuine tiltless but I have a couple of 32s, and I wouldn't swap them for anything else.

There will come a time when you become sick of sandys
