I've played with a Mr. Sandbag mainly for more than a year, I guess, then switched to a 32 earlier this year with an abshire a910. Then a Docbag and a plethora of others afterwards. I'm pretty sure I'm sticking with 32s now, and with Mr. Sandbags its only on some off-chance occasion really. Like, when I'm feeling really lazy or trying to recover from a hangover. :wink:

Ive found that people that play mainly with mr sandbags have sloppy styles. This isn't universally true, but it's often the case.

32's all the way baby.

Tom, have you ever taken a psychology class?? Correlation DOES NOT EQUAL causality!!!!!

Most people who use sand bags are BEGINERS so of course they won't have outstanding styles.
Genzu shreds sand and his style is the opitamy of sloppy. Pretty sure Jim likes them alot, and I seem to remember Jorden getting a big smile on his face when we switched to sand at SJFF. Ricky Morans section in Forecast is ALL with sand and that section OOOOOOOOOOZES style. I know you said its not always the case so I'm doing my best to have alot of cases... AND there are plenty of sloppy styled 32 players out there (raises hand).
WEIGHT is only the reason I use panels. Plus they look pretty.
This is by no way a dis tom... just my psy teacher said she'd be proud if we used that term relivantly in meaningful conversation....
Correlation does not equal causality... realy, it's in a book.

Correlation != Causation, you mean? :wink:

Causality doesn't seem like a proper term to be used in a phrase like that, especially in Psychology. That's just me I guess. :P

i played with sandbags from about 01 to 03. I liked how inexpensive, accessible, and stally they are. I started playing with 32s again, and had a hard time for a while, but I soon began to prefer them because I liked how they tended to stay rounder and more controllable. I also prefer the heavier weight, smaller size, and superior aesthetic value of 32s.
BRICK!

I started playing freestyle with the 4 panel sandbag on worldfootbag.com. That one was really decent, but had a short lifespan. It was nice because it was small and pretty stally, plus grippy due to the nice synth suede they used.

I switched to Mr. Sandbag, and I really enjoyed using that for a while. It's a nice bag for learning singular tricks, plus it seems to set slower and it's fairly forgiving, however the material is a tad rolly. I was using a 32 back and forth with the Sandbag, and that went well for a while. I started customizing some of the fill in the 32 and that was neat.

I got a lesh bag, and that was pretty sweet, although a tad heavy for my taste. I didn't bother removing any of the fill though, cuz I liked the feel of the bag over all. Then my friend started getting into stitching, and while doing research for it, I noticed how cool it actually was. So I started making my own 32 panel bags. Now, I can't see going any other way.

My current bag is one that I made, and it plays exactly the way I want it to. The fill is awesome, and because of a few techniques I use, the bag played well as soon as I was finished with it. It's a good feeling let me tell you. It's like being a jedi and making your own lightsaber. 8)

It takes awhile to break in a 32-you're better off starting with a sandbag
