I wont say anything but....good numbers!

anymore?!

for all ya'll who say that 12's are worse, how could you say that if they have bigger surface area per panel? flatter landing on the foot=easy stalling=better skills!

the only 2 things 32's have on 12's is that they look cooler and they are weight adjustable.

I also don't think that a really good 12 pannel can compare to a really good 32... I first started learning on a 12 pannel, but the lack of bleed holes makes a 12 pannel bag infinately less awsome than a bag (such as a 32) that has bleed holes. It's more than just adjusting the weight. It's also for repairs and for changing the filler itself (if you preffer something other than what's already in there). And, I'm pretty sure that "flatter surfaces" also means "less round."

It would save everyone money, time and effort if you did convince us all that 12s were better. 'Tis a noble, difficult, quest upon which to embark, other Ben R. Good luck.

I've been using a ben rea 12 panel for all my sessions lately, I'm loving it. as for bleed holes / changing filler, I don't really see it as an issue. If you know that you like a particular kind of fill, fill ratio, or fill weight, find a stitcher that provides it, and get it. don't wait until the bag has been shipped to you. The bag I have plays just as well as all my favorite kinds of 32s.

thanks for this cool contest, ben.

One question....How are we to know that you have preselected the number?
What's to say that you don't pick a number close to one that a friend guessed?

That said, if you'd like, you can tell me the number ( excluding me from the contest of course ) that way we can insure a fair contest. Not saying that you're trying to scam anyone , this would just be a safety precaution.

Tell me what you think.

and the only 12 panels i've ever played with were either the hemp ones from wfa, or store bought jester bags lol, so i really have never played with a truly quality 12 panel bag.

hmm 119?

Is the 12 made of all pents or what? I wanna make one now.

Theoretically, a 32 panel is rounder than a 12 panel because it has more panels. I think this causes it to stay rounder while in the air, leading to straighter/truer sets.
But i cant prove any of that, its just what ive been led to believe.
