Jr. Sanbag

Post by Chema »

How many of you would like a bit smaller Mr. Sanbag?
I was shredding with the Freedom Crew at the Freedom Footbags Headquarters, and found a really small freedom bag laying around. I actually really like it, I proposed to Daryl that they should make a Jr. Sanbag (which is what we have dubbed the small reject freedom bag).
It stalls just as nicely and sets about the same, but it's smaller size is pretty nice.

So basically what do you guys think?

btw: I just got a new Matt Emmings bag and it's perfect!!!!!
better than any bag I've ever played with. Does Matt have a modified account or something I can contact him on?

Yeah, when proposed the idea to Daryl he said most people who bought them wanted them bigger!!!!!! So the chance of them making a smaller on eisn't the best, but...

Agreed!
A larger bag would result in a reduction of control in the case of a Mr Sandman.

Daryl is aware of that, but the reality is that many of his sales come from 'hacky slackers'

But they're too light as they are now. Smaller freedom bags would be nice though, but only if they had more weight to them. Has anyone tried pellets or bb's in their freedom bags?


I would REALLY like to see some different designs for the Sandman. I think that an 8 or 12 panel bag made with Daryl's material and a mix of sand and pellets would make for a seriously awesome shred bag. It would keep its shape better and therefore would be easier to control and set nicely. It would be cheaper, last longer, and shred as good as a lot of 32's out there. I'd buy three.

hey chris, ive tried putting sling shot pellets in my old mr.sandbag and the result was that after a day of shreddin n kickin it , it fell apart, the bb and just too heavy and they put a lot of stress on the material which in result doesnt last long long enough.

Freedom footbags are fine just how they are. If a Bigger or smaller bag was available, I'd buy it even if it's just for novely's sake. I kicked with one of those miniature 32 panels. That was neat. I'd imagine a small 4 panel woulg produce the same effect, right?

They're cool the way they are, but I was wondering what a 32 panel would be like? It'd probably be a pain to stitch, but it'd be neat to try out. Those zig-zag patterned Mr. Sandbags are kinda neat too.

I'd assume it would be just like a regular facile, but without any bleed hols and tighter stitching. That is if they existed.

a slightly smaller Mr. sandbag would be nice. Id like to try it out

Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.

Yeah, my Jr. Sandman plays really nice I've been using it a lot lately; its my primary school bag, mostly due to my fear of someone being too harsh on my Matt Emmings bag which is by far my real choicestly bag.
