I have only heard fantastic things about them. Allan Haggett gave them a great review and Henry G is an avid fan as well.

EDIT: I've played with one, and I am in lust

Don't forget that they are the perfect bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: ok, I'll make a good review.

Ok, so there's zero break in time, seriously I'm not exaggerating at all.
It is perfect size, a bit smaller than a golf ball, but that doesn't take anything away from its stall-ability, I personally think it stalls better than or Mr S., a fully broken in abshire regular, or any other bag I've ever used for that matter. I can put my foot in a clip position and drop it from shoulder height and it sits on my clip without me even moving my foot the slightest bit. Don't get me wrong though it's pebble/gravel filler makes sets superb, maybe not better than a small 32, but I personally like its sets better than the abshires (mini's & regs) or Lonn I usually shred with. I don't know exactly what the material is but it is for sure a type of synthetic suede. Supposedly it is more durable than facile, but I don't know why, it's SOOOO supple!!!!!!!!
It weighs 38 grams or at least mine does.

I'm probably never gonna buy any other bag, these are almost as perfect as you can make a footbag. I recomend them to everyone.
The only downside I could possibly conceive would be that some bags may be better at sets, but that would have to be preference (like everything else really :? ).

I got one and it's really nice. Practically no break in time and it plays like a 32-panel, though it does feel a bit heavier (not a bad thing). If you have a choice 32-panel, they make a great back-up bag in case it gets lost/busted. If you're still using Mr. Sandbags, they make a good transition bag to 32-panels, and in my opinion are just as good as a 32 (or at least almost).

lol. Whats funny is I logged on to modified just this morning to ask this very same question before work. I actually ordered one of these and it should *crosses fingers* be here today. From reading all this, it makes me even more anxious to get it as I have yet to see anything bad about them. Oh, btw, the filler he uses is aquarium gravel.
