brinards bags - 1 avail
Brian's bags are pretty good, and conform to the usual mini size that most players play with. I actually haven't found many people who really like playing with bigger bags though. Plus, I've made and played with smaller, so take my words with a grain of salt.

you can always empty it.... just put a pointed straw thru the bleedhole, and take some out.
i try to make bags like i like, and i ipersonally play everybag to make sure its not lopsided or too light/heavy on the foot.
bags breakin and expand just a little, so if you get one thats smaller than golfball, it ends up about golfball.

they are small but you can fit a straw in them, i used a standard(iunno what size) straw to see how small the shot was, then added more cause it was a bit too light.BenRea wrote:the bleed holes are way too small, i even tried a coffee straw, still too small.brinard wrote:you can always empty it.... just put a pointed straw thru the bleedhole, and take some out.
Ben, the bag I made for you had tighter bleed holes. No need to complain.

hahahahahaha, i was just thinking about this and somehow i knew you were going to say that. i actually have compared both bags bleed holes, brinards is a lot smaller, you want a picture???? i swear his is just about big enough for a grain of salt to get through.
EDIT: in no way am i saying that brinards bags are bad footbags...at all.

Get a pen or something that tapers and first insert it into the bleed hole. This loosens the gather in the area to put in something bigger with less slant like a straw.
Small knitting needles work well too. I also use two lockpicks and pry the short sides of the hexs apart. I do this rare though because I don't want to cut or weaken my thread with the sharp edges.
I try not to use a pencil or a pen that doesn't 'click' the ballpoint into the pen. So I don't get graphite or ink on or in my bag.
Edit: Its not just Brinard bags I do this with. It works with any bags. In fact, I don't own a Brinard bag. Why am I posting in his for sale thread?

well i just got my bag, and let me start off by saying this thing is awsome and amazingly sexy. its pretty small (compared to a dirtbag) but so far it seems im going to like this bag alot better than any thing ive kicked around so far. stitching is awsome as far as i can tell. just thought i would give brinard the props he deserves for making amazing bags. time to go work on breaking in my new favorite bag!
EDIT: P.S. this thing is amazingly stallable also!

Im still very satisfied with mine.
I only have a brinard bag and an older footfighter that is too light for my taste.
so im using my brinard bag 100% of my shred time!
Me and brian must have the exact same taste for footbag cause if i had the patience to stitch my own i dont think it would differ much.
Bey brian how much of an advanced notice would you need for me to make a custom color request that you can bring with you to the chicago new years jam.
Screw mail and all that shit that would be right around the time i will be in need of a new bag so it would work out nicely.
and i always love leaving an event with a new footbag

bags by mail are in your hands in 2 weeks.
custom colors are always available, and if you ask 3 weeks before a tourney (that im going to) ill bring your custom bag, and you can purchase it on the spot. but if you dont find me the first day, you might be sorry, cause my bags always go fast.

i have a 3 month old abshire and a brinard stitch kit i made a month ago...
2 weeks ago the brinard bag was easily my favorite bag to shred with. the first week was just about breaking it in.. and once it was OMG it was amazing.
props to brinard for awesome material! (since i was the one that stitched this one...)... its facile right? or is it ultrasuede light... idk tell me!
