Open call for Clavens Bags Views and Opinions

david · Post by **david** » 02 Feb 2007 17:06

Hi,

Over the past 6 months I have been selling several bags at every tournament I go to and several online. I am constantly playing with my own bags to make them better and better.

I wanted to email everyone who has every purchased one of my bags but I don't have the time nor email addresses.

Basically, if you have one of my bags and hate it please pm me or post here. If you love it, go for that too, but I am mainly seeking out people who are unhappy with their purchase so I can replace those bags and learn from my mistakes. I stand behind every bag I've made and consider them of a high level of quality. If anyone is unhappy with their bag the problem will be corrected.

Thanks,

David Clavens

I have one of your bags. I like it a lot. The one I got was something like you're 2nd or 3rd steel-filled bag, and for that, the filler is very, very good. It's as heavy as I like bags, and doesn't take up the entire inside.

Of the three bags made by you I've played with, I've felt like roll-off almost never happens. I haven't played extensively with the bag of yours I have, but I've played with it enough to know I like it a lot and am glad I bought it.

Your bags are absolutely the best bags I have played with (not a very extensive list, but they're still good!)

I also have a steel-filled bag, and it sure confused me when you told me it was steel. (We've talked on AIM about that)

Overall, I can't really find anything wrong about your bags, even if you do think they're aesthetically unpleasing, who cares? They're not.

Very durable too, it's gotten stomped on multiple times and still shows no signs of getting a hole.

I've played with your bags at all the jams I've been to in the past few months, they've all been great bags. you have really high standards for yourself, and it shows in your stitching. props.

I have one of your 'earlier' bags you could say, but i think its the best one from that era, everyone seems to like it alotttttt. especially you, lol. remember the one?

I have an earlier model and it is very plush and quite stallable. however, it seems a little wobbly sometimes, in kicking or in setting. But it could just be me who sucks.

it's also very durable, as I've treated it pretty rough compared to other bags and there's still no sign of pilling or holes or even any wear at all. Good colors.

I love my C-bag. I have an older one. My bag is very nice, about the same quality of some of my other bags. Very good break in and everything, stalling, roundness, consistency. I'd love a new one(cough cough), cause im sure it would blow the one I have out of the water.

you really shouldn't keep your footbags in water.

Where can I get one of your Claven bags?

I've had my Clavens bag since the Cornell Jam, and it's still very plush and super stallable. Pretty good fill, but I share in Stephen's post that it felt kind of floaty. Probably a bit too underfilled? I still love the bag you sold to me a great deal (at a great price too).

I have yet to see how your steel-filled bags feel. I'll see you next tourney.

Your hard work definitely shows, in stitching and in your game. The next Felix Zenger?

yea, i agree with that, i wont give away the price i paid for mine but it was practically a steel for the quality of the bag.

For the record Clavens bags can be bought at tournaments I attend or by sending me a PM. Bag waits depend on my school work load at the time.

thanks,

Dave I enjoy playing with your sack.

I've played with my Clavens bag in a session with 3 other people, we all hit tricks like super nemesis first try. Cleaver bags own.

Seriously though, very playable from the get go, though I can say nothing about durability yet.

Does your bag i bought from funtastiks count?

david · Post by **david** » 05 Feb 2007 21:00

No I have totally changed my style since then. I think I gave that to you for $13. I mean it was a nice bag, but I have learned a lot since then.

I remember, I put my footbag in a bottle of mountain dew one night, because I thought it would help break it in. Off subject, very sorry, but Davids bags look better than some of mine
