Bought or Made?

[JusticeKnuckles]

Most of you guys use home stitched bags or bought online or at a store? If you have a preference please explain : ) I use store bought because i don't trust my stitching but i'd definitely try to make my own sometime.

Home-made.

I get satisfaction out of playing with bags that I make.

Where's the "it doesn't matter to me" option?

People who buy footbags from stores are generally new players who haven't learned better yet. Everyone else buys from other footbag players (who are stitchers) or makes their own bags.

Your poll could be interpreted to mean either:
Are the bags you use store bought or hand made?
or
Do you buy your bags (from stitchers or stores) or make your own?

And the difference is important.

Agreed. I didn't vote because I didn't know which you meant.

My advice is: beginners should buy freedom footbag 4 panel bags. These are cheap, and good enough that you can learn all your basics with them.
Once you get to intermediate level (guiltless), then I recommend you buy a 32 panel bag made by a footbagger. Waylon Lew (Wasabi) makes excellent 32 panel bags.

ahhh, i see. sorry i wasn't insightful enough to look at it that way :/ i'm still pretty new to the whole game but i have fun. i got a crochet bag and a 4 panel sand bag made from some spandex like stuff i got off footbag.com in a free trail. i just made my own 12 panel sand bag today. posting pictures later : )

Crochet bags are hard to kick and break in.
It's really all personal preference and what you want in a bag

thats classic ^^

i ussually do my own bags, but i dont mind kicking around storeboght bags,ass well ass playermade bags that are not mine, eventho i would not buy them myself, exept they have something special to them, like boobyshape or something.

I just voted randomly by playing paper rock scissors with myself.


When I buy new bags I usually just go into the stitching forum and send a message to the most recent person to post saying they made bags or have them to sell and buy some off them. So they are home made bags that I buy.

My most recent bag is an Alf bag - which I haven't seen at all, but Lotus was getting some, so I tacked on an order. We play with one of his bags twice a week and it's one of the sweetest bags ever. I like having a variety of different bags - but all home made 32s (so actually hardly any variety )

Well I'm a beginner so I buy bags, but i want to start stitching. I think bags that are made by players are the best, i just ordered a haniabag and I'm waiting for it to come.

Abshire's fearless 55 ameretta is the bomb diggity!

[Yellow Watchbagger]

well i have a 8 panel dirtbag and a sandman but i really wanted to see what all the hype was on 32 panels so i have a Matt Cross bag and a Cale 'bomb' bag in the mail. i can barely go tiltless without dropping it after 4 or so tricks, but im hoping to excel with the 32's once they arrive. i hope it makes it easier to set from clipper etc.

[Radek Deko]

Hehe, Yeah I'm a beginner too. I Ordered a haniabag, but i have one 32 panel, its alright. So I really wanna try a haniabag, im so happy.

When I started out, I was using a truely "home-made" bag, and would stitch my own two panel sand bags (tennis ball/baseball design) with old t-shirts and sand.
