Hi Jochen!
Just finished a bag a few days ago and wanted to enter the contest with it's design. Damn, too late

. Couldn't take a photo, and still can't, but whatever.
I hope to shred someday with one of your bags (and of course with you), just have heard good things about 'em.

The Docbags of the first and second edition are filled with lead .

Nowadays I am working on a third edition and maybe I will offer different types of filler - we will see .
I have to admit that the relaunch of the third edition will take time because I am very busy right now to spend enough time to do some research in improving the current 2nd edition .

Summing up there is no need to wait for your orders because I guess the relaunch of the third edition will happen in about 3 to 6 months.

Thanks Tom I appreciate your comment , and of course I am happy that you and some other guys liked the docbag.
It is always cool to hear that kind of words about docbags especially if another stitcher talks like this - thanks .

I hope Ben is satisfied with the bag too because I was

the docbag i used at KICKASS was definitely an awesome footbag! good bags, jochen.

I too recommend DocBags. I've been playing with a super soft mini for a couple of weeks. Break-in time: 0 hours. That's right. It was plush and non-rolly out of the box (so to speak... it doesn't really come in a box)

A good investment

The only bag I used at Funtastik was my Docbag. I think it was given much praise by most freestylers there.

Beatrice, Daryl and I played with Bea's new DocBag yesterday. And we all really liked the bag

I just write down some things I like and dislike about the bag:

+
+ No breaking-in time, you can shred right away
+ The stiching is quite good
+ Totally stalllable (is this a word?), it is really easy to catch the bag
+ Fast shipping
+ Jochen is very friendly and I'm sure he will help everybody how has
questions about his bags

-
- No breaking-in time. I just love to see my bags go from golf ball to choice
- The filler, there are only very few big lead pellets in the bag. So you can't really break-in the bag and therefore it will take a very long to for the fabric the get thin (<- wich would make the bag even better)
- This not really a bad thing, but I think some of the panels are not exactly even, so that e.g. one side is longer then the other

Again this just my personal opinion! I'm used to another kind of bag but playing with a Docbag definitely is great fun! If I ordered one for myself (like Daryl is planning to do), I would ask for a Mini. I post a picture as soon as my pc stops making annoying sounds.
I hope this review was helpful for you guys

After some "shipping disagreements" (I wanted to pay the bags as soon as they arrive and Jochen sends the bags as soon as he has got the money

)
the footbag club "Madbags" from Switzerland has now been equipped with new docbags

...

Well I've already posted my thoughts of his bags but I have to say again that Docbags are just awesome !! Great looks, super nice to shred with and they are quite cheap (for such decent bags

)

Just great

I would post pictures if the bags weren't already gone to their real holders

greetings Julian

That bags got a crazy add count on it by now...

justin41 · Post by **justin41** » 03 Dec 2005 08:57

well..

i´ve finally played my bag for some time so i think i can judge it by now.

first off: the design - its all babyblue with one orange panel. thats how i wanted it and its so sweet that i don´t show it to girls anymore... they just wont give it back. really, girls can´t let go of this bag.

the stitching is close to perfection... very round and soft. no irregularities or anything.

the filler... well i already knew that jochen and me have different opinions on that. its way too heavy for me and it makes curves in the air that drive me crazy. so i added about 300% of volume with plastic-pellets to make it more round... sorry jochen. you will have to remove some of the lead sometime. but now its round and flies straight.
but its even heavier now and thus a bitch for spinning tricks. it comes down with speeeeeeeeed. anyway, its very nice to play. at the moment i use it for training. whey i switch to my older bags they feel like slo-mo and i can double dex them without effort.

its perfect to play from the beginning, no break in required.

the size is exactly mine.

not to forget about the service. jochen did already replace some bags i got from him earlier (they were not for me though). you can trust him. really. you can pay him in advance without any risk.

from left to right: mr.,footfighter04,footfighter05,docbag

thanks again jochen. if you make it a bit lighter i may never use any other bag again!

btw: i did not find that card reader yet. i´ll get you one as promised!

You can make the bag lighter by bleeding beads out via the bleed holes between each hex.

justin41 · Post by **justin41** » 04 Dec 2005 07:05

yea, i know.. but its stiched rather tight, so i dont want to take any risk.

putting those rather small plastic-pellets in was hard enough, i dont want to stretch the material too much.

Yeah my doc bag doesnt have bleed holes. The hexes are sewn together and i really really want to add some more volume like justin. Jochen what do you recommend?
