I would flip out knowing that the minute I open a book, footbags come pouring in.

Yes, one would have to flip the pages to receive their footbag.

My friend gave me a phone book with a bow on it once. I thought it was a joke until he made me open it and there were 2 dvds inside.

looks too thick and pilly

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 17 Jun 2007 14:11

its not thick, no thicker than facile. it is pilly though, but if you have no problem with ugly looking bags then your good.

thanks for posting those ben

.

to answer a few of the ensuing quips ...

"it looks too thick and pilly"
you got a densitometer built into your eyeball or something chris? even if it is ... thick also means more durable! and if it is soft enough to still be lush and shreddable ... win win!! i guess ben is the one to listen to here ... seeing as he has one

.
and as i've already replied to a previous negative post of yours about a photo of this bag, there is another colour option that does not pill ... i repeat, the choice is yours!

"it also looks like a washcloth"
i like this observation much better ... a bit of creativity with your criticisms please

Lotus, what fabric is it? Maybe it pills so much because you use the wrong side of the fabric?

This black bag with spikes looks sick, though!

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 19 Jun 2007 18:32

Someone should make a spikey 32 like that, just for fun.

Here are some new bags I picked up while in Montreal.

Julien Cote, beautiful bag, plays great, hard to put down: Thank you Julien!
Golf ball
Matt Cross # 77. Has a spiral of alternating colours, killer bag
Street Fighter from Kolo. Great bag, I love it. You should buy a few.

i traded andrew banewicz (jrstubs) for this bag:

its sweet. i'll do a review of it and repost this in his for sale page

the stitching is quite consistantly even and doesnt seem to have any weak points. the 4 stitches per side make it very squishy and dank. its a little bit bigger than a golf ball, which is slightly large for me, but definitely well within a good range. i've kicked with it about 3 times for extended periods of time so far. its a little underfilled for my taste (definitely a little less than half full) but that meant it was very mushy right out of the envelope (a big plus imo). nice poofy panels. i actually like the filler he used, but like i said, not quite enough for my standards, and the bag was a little light so i'll probably add a little shot to it tonight.

as further proof that its a real nice bag, i hit food with it without warming up in a 15 minute session as soon as i got it out of the bag. my second session i hit a 34 contact mostly unique guiltless string and many other highlights for me.

i'd say the bag gets a 7/10 from me. there are many bags made by many people that are decent, but not worth the 20-30 dollars that most people charge. this is NOT one of those bags, if you are looking for a decent bag, stubs is definitely capable of providing you with one, but if you want it heavier than 55 grams or smaller than a golf ball, make sure to tell him.

shipping was pretty quick, the envelope was well addressed and sealed.

New Cleaver bag:

My girlfriend has expressed interest in stitching. I'm going to get her one of those kits. Crossing my fingers she gets into it
