trying to decide on filler for my leaking sandbag

DUBBZmagic · Post by **DUBBZmagic** » 08 May 2009 19:39

hey guys im new to the sport and i have an alright crocheted pellet filled bag i just use for kicking warm ups and circle kicking, but i also have a sand filled sandmaster that has run into a bit of a leaking problem and i like it but i have a hard time kicking with it since it isnt all that bouncy so im thinking of putting some bb's into it. i have like literally thousands of bb's that would use for a bb gun and im wondering if they would be good to use with the sand to make it a bit bouncier

Are they magnetic? Heavy?

I say go for it. I've had a lot of Mr. Sandbags and other sand-filled bags made with thicker fabric refilled with copper BBs or steel shot. I even have a small crocheted bag that is refilled with plastic pellets and BBs for casual freestyle.

yup there magnetic and r 1.4mm steel bb's i put some in earlier today, not my bags at about 65% full id say and the sand/bb combo is rlly good it can stall like a sandbag but has pop like a pellet filled and it wont go flying 20ft in the air. definatly seems to be a good combo

thinking of new fillers, i have a 32 pannel phobia dragonfly footbag, if it gets low o filling am i able to re-fill it?

and if so is there a correct way of going about it?!?!?

Here's a filler idea for you... fill it with lighter fluid, drop a match on it, and get a proper 32 panel bag or Mr Sandman from freedomfootbags.com.

or better yet, get both! you'll thank me

though bizarlly i thought i would let you know i am having a 32 panel made for me by a stitcher on this sight, AND just to make you happy im getting a mr sandman too!

(actually it had nothing to do with you, i just needed a new bag, but if it make you feel better you can think that!

Hey, I didn't wear my cup today, so if you're gonna break my balls [edit: bollocks], go easy.

props! hope you like your new bags. you might understand my perspective a little better once you've got some proper bags. who did you order from?

Dragonfly footbags are horrible. Enough said.
