any one of those is good. pick the one whose bags look nicest to you, and kick the shit out of it.

Seriously, any one of those is good. Someone might tell you one of them is better than any of the others, but that's bullshit. Good bags are EASY TO MAKE. Anyone can do it, and deliberating forever over a stitcher is pointless.

It matters how much time you spend kicking a footbag, not who made it. As long as someone's been stitching a little while, and they don't have their heads up their asses, they can make a good footbag.

All those stitchers have been stitching for a while, and none of them have their heads up their asses.

Please don't ask me to stitch you a bag. At least now.

I'll consider it in a year or so, though.

It'll be hard to find a stitcher that doesn't use some lead in there bags. Tungsten is really expensive compared to lead and steel. You don't need to worry about lead unless you plan on eating your footbag.

do you plan on eating your footbags? or feeding them to your pets or child? if you're not you shouldnt really worry about lead. i own many lead bags and have tons of lead for filler myself in my room. unless you bathe in it and start eating it and using it in your hands and not washing them your safe

A small toddler put my Fletcher Funk bag, mid-session, into his mouth two weeks ago. It was outdoors on concrete as well.

I didn't have the heart to tell his parents. :(
