hey buddy... this question should have been in the thread you already started.... not in its own new one. but in my opinion, i love both. id go with whichever one is cheaper for you to obtain, since they bot hmake awesome bags. richie's are pretty small, and i have a clavens trhat is small and a clavens that is big.... although i know richie has "regulars" that are big. most stitchers are pretty flexible when it comes to custom orders and what you want. so really neither are better than the other, although richie has been around loads longer than david.... but david's are skilled. just choose already man. when it comes down to it, its the player, not the bag.....

Abshire's are really durable. If you're new and plan on dropping a lot, get one of his.

How very noble of you, Dave. ;)

My vote is for Clavens. I'm sorta biased though.

i agree.

although, as I told you in the other thread, all the people you're considering getting a bag from make good bags. They're all different, and as a new player, they're not going to be big differences to you. Just get one and keep playing!

also, at your stage in the game, you might consider going to www.freedomfootbags.com and getting one of their Mr Sandman models. It's inexpensive, and it's a great footbag to use as you explore the first steps of the game.
BRICK!

Word to that! Getting a Mr. Sandbag would be the most logical choice. I remember when I first got mine I was very surprized with it's quality. It was solid blue and held together for a verly long time. I leaned a lot of tricks with it.

I will take one of everybodies please!!! And if I like it I will take another ........ Right now I have eight maybe nine bags that I think are choice. But.... I love them all, like lil' children of mine. It is all about how I'm feeling. Sometimes I need a floppy bag to make me feel good about my game. Sometimes I need a new bag to warm up with. But I aways love playing with my minis. I have small feet. You know what they say about people with small feet.........................They wear small shoes.
My girlfriend thinks I'm a dork.............:lol:
But she loves me anyways.

concur. :)

I was wrong, get a Mr. Sandbag and new shoes. New shoes are much more important than a new bag. Maybe ditch the crocheted one, though.

Abshire and Clavens both make GREAT bags. Lately the only bags I'm using are Abshire amaretta fearless 55, Clavens amaretta, and an Erik Chan bag.

I give Abshire and Clavens a 10/10.
for their bags and customer service.

We sell Abshires at www.freedomfootbags.com

I'd recommend the amaretta or facile fearless 55.

We have fast shipping.

I put "richard abshire footbag" into google, and this was the first result.

http://www.freedomfootbags.com/shredsho ... -p-29.html

you wouldn't have to apologize for asking so many questions if you did two things:

1. read and comprehend the answers to the questions you already asked (because people have been telling you that you can't go wrong with a purchase from these stitchers since early in your last thread).

2. work on these questions yourself a little bit before asking (being that the answer to your last question was found by putting less than 10 seconds into doing the most obvious solution, that being "use google").

if you do those things, it will drastically reduce the amount of questions you ask, and then you'll have nothing to apologize for, and everyone is happy (including you).
BRICK!
