Has anybody used this footbag before?

Post by Brian »

I need a bag with my new Rod Lavers as well. Since I will be ordering my shoes from worldfootbag.com, I wanted to knock two coconuts down with one stone, and pick up a good footbag while I was at it.

In the past, I have been more fond of pellet filled bags than sand bags, so I came accross the "Juice Elite Pro" which looks relatively decent to me.

Has anyone used it before? I'm sure I've tried the original juice in the past, but I remember it being quite large. I never liked the extremely small ones either, so if this fits a happy medium that would be great.

I'm more concerned about how it breaks in though, as some of the synthetic suede bags took quite some time for that if I can remember.

Let me know what your thoughts are, or if you know a better place or person to get a good pellet filled footbag through, post here as well. Thanks!

These days sorta everyone just buys bags from the stitchers on modified. You could get someone to make one just how you like it I bet.

Yeah? I was wondering about that. Who should I contact about stitching a 32 panel medium-ish bead filled facile footbag! :P (if it's nice and round it doesn't need to be 32 panels)

Let me know. :wink:

I e-mailed Randy from World Footbag about the "Juice Elite Pro" a month ago. Here's the conversation we had:

[quote]1. What colors do you have of this bag? Please specify what colors are the pentagons and hexagons for further clarity.
R: "Please call us for color combinations. With revolving large inventory I’m not going to write out all current color combinations." (Wtf? You can't tell me what you have in stock now, at this moment? :?)

2. Does this 32-paneled footbag have "bleedholes" (holes between the hexagons to allow refilling of the bag)?
R: "I’ve never heard of “bleedholesâ€

those people dont know anything about footbags... lol.

their job is to sell them, they probably dont make them or use them...

they are probably made in some fucked up sweatshop in tiawan...

god, I hate footbag distributing companies!!!

except for Freedom, cause atleast they sell quality stuff...

and I bet the "juice pro elite" or whatever the hell its called, sucks TOO!


{im not angry at the moment, I just hate when companies think they no what they are talking about, but they know NOTHING! about there product)

:D
