READ HERE FIRST!!!!

see the bottom posts for new info!

Please do not post bag requests! PMs are far, far preferred

It will help keep this thread (and modified, in general) uncluttered.

Reviews, however, are more than welcome. The more honest reviews, the better, positive or negative. ESPECIALLY the negative. You guys can help me get closer to making the best freestyle bag out there by letting me know where I fall short.

Thanks to everyone who's written a review so far. You rule.

gotta love it. that's many footbags to come.

Here's a 2-stitch experiment.

New model

it will only get better.

$20 for this style. This is just the prototype. Better pics to come.

$30 for 3-stitch.

Um, I forgot to write something about this, but your Frank Sinatra envelope arrived the other day.

The bag is sick dude... I'm just a beginner, but out of the 4 'proper' bags I own - this one has the perfect balance of weight/softness... The filler is intense, makes the uptime feel longer/more stable somehow than other bags. I am really learning how to set this one more precisely.

Nothing negative to speak of yet, sorry.

Definitely going to point people in your direction if anyone around here asks where to get one.

EDIT: Judging from Richard Abshire's, Hania, Footfighter Mini, and this one -> MC bag is definitely the heaviest filler! Hania is sorta close though, but hers feels way different as well, both unique in their own right. I'm not sure which one I love more, still getting used to them.

I love my mc bag.
This bag is the reason I added 5-10 grams on my bags.
The stitching is wonderful, and the pattern is original and awesome.
It took a little while to grow on me, but it is now second only to an all microsuede mini i made. I bring it everywhere with me, and imagine it will start getting holes soon (after 5 months it still has ZERO holes).
I will be purchasing/trading another when this one dies.
thanks for the awesome bag!

Today i bought 2 bags from matt, 258 and 259 a three stitch and a two stitch, i am just starting out into freestyle and by just starting out i mean really really just starting out amd the two bags i bought from matt are already eaiser to hit it, to stall it, and not only are the quality of these bags top notch, but Matt, friends and myself learned much from matt and will use his insights and tips to better my game. not to mention the great bags i bought from him A+ is my graded review.

I'm an idiot.

I just PM'd Matt about who to get in contact with to get my hands on a serious bag. Matt makes them. Once again, IDIOT.

A word to new people, READ MORE FORUMS to prevent such stupidity. Lol.

mc · Post by mc » 06 Aug 2009 10:02

While I was making a pizza earlier I decided to go check the mail.

AND BAM

There she was, inside an envelope waiting to be rescued from its paperish chamber. (im a freak)

I destroyed the envelope to find the coolest footbag I've ever seen in my entire life! Shes fricken beautiful.

Number 302, I'm in love with it, its perfectly round and sets like jesus if he where a footbag. I feel as if my stepping and atomic have improved just by using this footbag. The weight is absolutely perfect!

Dont ever stop stitching footbags.

I just received my order of three MC bags because we go through a lot of bags here in the Steel City

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eW_Ad_C ... rofilepage[/youtube]
and the world is lucky enough that Matt is available to make them (take advantage of this while you can everyone.)

Here is the pic that Matt sent me:

Their weights are perfect.

These bags were made as quickly as a machine might (if they existed) but with impeccable handmade attention. At first I couldn't figure out how it was possible but then I remembered his guitar skills.

I suggest that people consider stocking up on MC Bags while you can. Matt Beall and I have been using them consistently for the last few years and the quality improves with each one.

i just wanted to say that i have owned 5 MC bags in my day, and evey time i get a new order, not only does the quality increase but the playability increases as well, its like the greatness of these bags gets better with every one. I won't stop buying these any time soon and anyone from a beginner to past intermediatary can use these footbage to further their game to the next level.

If you look at the history of footbag there have been some amazing stitchers that have stopped stitching and we have all missed out. This is one stitcher that no one should miss out on.

wow, two posts in a row of people suggesting people buy my bags before I stop stitching... a harbinger of doom perhaps?

just got a new facile order...

***YELLOW AND GREEN ARE ONLY GOOD FOR PENTS, AND NOT GOOD TOGETHER - TOO THICK***

Here's all my colors right now.

I also have brown scaley microsuede from brian, and disco-ball material coming soon... pics of those to come soon.
