Top 5 bags for someone thats interested in circle kicking...

Post by jspan1013 »

there's no need for a "top 5" circle kicking bag list.

the thing about circle kicking bags is that they don't have to be perfect or perform amazingly to be functional.

just look at what you've already used, and what your friends have used, and pick one of those.

you do not need special help or advising to find a good circle kicking bag. basically, anything posted on modified is going to be fine for circle kicking.
BRICK!

Ok got it , i didn't know whether it was the same bag wise as freestyle.
How long do you think one of your reg. sized MC bags would last i'm gonna be getting a couple mr.sandman's plus a bag from a well... good stitcher my lat bag was a benzilla bag which was my first bag from a stitcher and it was ok with you i feel I'm going to get an amazing bag from what i've heard.

I look forward to doing business with you.

P.S - Also would you say your spiked footbags perform just as good as your regular sized footbags you stitch? If so i might get both a reg. MC bag and a stitched one. Thanks

Based on your description of what you want in a bag, I'd go with a stitcher that makes a big bag if you're looking for a 32. Abshire regulars are good for this, (though on the pricey side of things) and since you're hacking, you'll have a better time breaking it in.

Josh Raye bags are a little bigger than most, as well as Osh bags. Bigger than most only because most of the intermediate and pro footbaggers these days prefer really small bags that aren't very good for hacking.

Check out the Bags I've Made thread in this Forum, and flip through the last 10 pages or so. There's a couple of other stitchers that do varying sized bags, and some sell for pretty cheap. (I think Fool sells his for 15?)

If you're not in the market for a 32, Worldfootbags.com has a decent selection of bags. Their 8 panel bags are great for kicking and stalling, and they're cheap at around 10 bucks. If you get one from there, pick one WITHOUT green, it's a pretty bad color for the fabric they use. Hope this helps.

Elemental footbags has put a lot of effort into having the best circle kicking bags. I'm biased because I play with Lotus regularly, but I also have to listen to him talk about the differences in a 62 panel and 48 panel for kicking all the time :P

www.elementalfootbags.com

His range is just about to change for the better, including the introduction of some cool leather bags. He also has bags that are aimed at people who do a mix of freestyle and kicking, or are beginner freestylers who might not treat their bag very well (so are more durable than a genuine 32 panel freestyle bag).

I kicked with him yesterday and at times we played with one of his 32 freestyle models, which I could easily play genuine (ie. no bails) with.

yeah,
i can definitely recommend his bags!
if you are a freestyler or circle kicker, you'll find a bag there, that matches your style.
and they are extremely cheap. (prizes in Aussi Dollar)
