Hewitt Footbags

Post by professor »

Stitcher: Kyle Hewitt
Type: 32 panel

Simply the best bag I've played with.

Evan Gatesman and I have shredded one of Kyle's bags for a few weeks now and we both love it. The weight is perfect, the stallability is off the charts (better than any sand bag I've played with), it sets straight, and it stays round in the air. It almost feels like cheating when I play with this bag.

The weight is heavier than most bags I've played with, but I like heavier footbags. This bag isn't the prettiest bag I've seen, but when it performs this well, who cares what it looks like? I'm not sure about the durability or break in time because we've only had it for a few weeks and it was already broken in when we got it.

Kyle will be at the US Open selling these bags and I will definitely be buying some. I suggest at the very least trying one out.

Here's one Kyle recently stitched:

Y'know, I think Kyle still owes me a bag. :wink:

It's in the past.

The size is about the same as your average 32 panel. I don't know the price, you have to ask Kyle about that. He gave us the one we have now for free.

Wasbi:I gave you that Facile remember? or did I forget some of our trade?

Peng:Got my facile today and will be making it tonight hopefully

Isilwar:Not quite sure yet, but I know I'm going to focus on bags for Peng Kickass and B_man (Thanks for the dinner man!). I think they are going to be 20 + shipping but, I will trade with anyone who wants to!

EDIT:The bag in that picture right there is with Jim Penske and he told me he loves the bag

EDIT2: Thanks for writing this Ben!

I got the facile, but it was the wrong type of colors you told me. :P

Don't worry Kyle. I'm just messing with you about getting a bag.

I own the bag in the picture. It's a great bag. I've been shredding it a lot.

I shredded with a Hewitt bag at the US Open. They are dope! The one I kicked with was on the large/heavy side, but I like that. For me it was just the right size and weight. A lot of people who kicked with it thought it was a Felix bag, but no, it was a Hewitt bag! The bags are sweet, this kid's got skills.

Where is the thread on the Zeb Jackson bags? I wanted to leave him a comment too.
