worth of these pellets?

Post by noirdez »

hey fellow footbaggers!

here are some plastic pellets i took out of a crocheted bag. are they worth using? or are they too big? (by the way: the ruler on the pic measures in centimeters, don't be confused :) ).

and another question:
i don't know what BB's stand for and where they are used. and what's their size compared to those pellets?

thanks.

Ball Bullets !!! corect i used to be on a BB leg an i used to kick some ass. But are thost pelets plastic? they look like there shootgun lead bbs they work really well if u get high brass shootgun shells :) but ya they look pretty good just dont have different size stuff. becouse then the small stuff will sink to the bottome of the bag an all the biger stuff will stay at the top an make the bag go crazy when shreding. not balanced, but im intrested in how much they waigh. put them in a bag an waigh the bag plz with a letter scale or a diggetal scale an post the waigth in grams. i say any thing over 30 and below 50 is nice my one plastic 32 waighs 23 its ungodly to light but it works an my sand filled Dirtbag waighs 33 i find that to be perfect.

yeh I might say use small ones, and I always thought bb's stood for ball bearings? Oh well, bb's are used in bb guns so a gun store might cary them but I'm not sure and I think they come in all different sizes.

Considering I look at this section once a year, I felt compelled to point out that those aren`t pellets in the photo, they are grape nerds. Oh, and if that ruler was in inches and not centimeters, I would swear it`s a photo of Tony Robbins holding a palmful of giant size grape nerds.


Carry on. :oops:

Grape nerds with one random green one mixed in the middle?

Aaanyway, I had the very same things come out of a crocheted bag that I was leaking back when I had no idea what freestyle footbag was. I believe that they would be pretty bad in a 32 or something like it. They're not very heavy and they're a little large in some cases. I'd say stick to the clear plastic polythylene beads that most people use mixed with some glass seed beads, but whatever floats your boat really. Just saying, if you really have your heart set on using those, then don't fill up the bag with them. Use a few of them mixed in with more of a heavier/smaller filler.

Peace.
