footymatt-
dont mean to be rude, but why guess on the size when you dont know? its clearly bigger than a golf ball.
and im not positive, but your weight seems like a guess to me as well...

jrstubs-
i would just make my own 4 panny design...i think it would actually be easier than trying to reproduce someone else's based on the size and weight

Ok yes the size was a guess, we (my wife and I) sew footbags all the time, 4 panels, 32, whatever. Anywayz i'm forever sewing different sizes to see how they play. I gave Peter Irish (he picked it) a super small one about the size of a quarter (US). We also experiment with different weights, which I have a gram scale for. I own 4 sandbags and they each vary slightly in weight, one is 19.5g and my biggest is 20.9g. They are at least a year old (and still look new!) so they may have lost some filler and weight. So with the process of experimentation we can safely asume that if he is building new footbags, his weights will differ. So yes I "guessed" at it. It's only logical to assume as much. I have many footbags my smallest is like 15g and my biggest is 90g. To have alot of footbags gives me more options for schoolin tricks, example: toe stalls=big bag for added controll; atw=small bag for tighter dexs. when we play we mostly play with sandbag size bags with different weights depending on moods. ok I hope this makes since now.

p.s. I got the scale for like 20 bucks and it's got an LCD display, looks sharp and is very consistant. Found it locally at a small private shop so I would imagine there super easy too find everywhere. And boy do they help out!!!

I just weighed a brand new Mr Sandbag and it weighs 38.8 grams.

I think experimenting with size and weight is fun! Try it!

yeah i would have guessed 20 was pretty light...
around 40 seems correct... anything less would be soooo light
