footbag makers challenge!

I love how great the modern 32 panel bags break in and play. Back in the 1990s facile bags were filled with light plastic beads. I remember the first Abshire bags I played with and how great they wee because the seed beads were heavy- 32 grams or so

I wonder if the modern bag makers can make a great light weight shred bag like Abshire can?

Yeah my old Carols are 24 grams!!!
Kids today have no idea what that was like. They all want 60! It's certainly easier to play in the wind these days...

they are nearly like that, but they have heavy 32gr

I still have all of my old ones lying in my collectors box!!!

I can take this challenge. I can make the best playing 32 that requires very little break-in and isn't filled up to 50+ grams.

I remember an old NYFA member had a really big white/red/green abshire. It weighed about 24 grams. It was pretty ace.

Although, facile colors would be somewhat limited, as I don't have much instantly broken-in facile. I guess I have about... 6 colors or so (off the top of my head).

'DiRty Juice Bags'and 'juice Facial' are what all the footbag players, played with back in the day... i think.

Personally im one of those kids Erik is talking about that like 60g or heavier

. Erik played with 'Juice Facial" back in the day.

I forgot to ask, but is there any interest for 32s made to be extra large, extra light, and extra supple for freestyle play? I am 100% confident that I can make a bag that out performs a Juice Facile, in comparable terms.

well , my word to this is "no thanks"

1. u have to wait ages for a 30g facile bag to become playable..
2. light weights are just unusable when windy days occur
3. the physics of a plastic filler is just not right..
4. light weights just tend to be rolly and rolly..
5. the positioning of the above mentioned bag /finding the right spot in the window/ is very very sad..

but if u like it... what can i say..
