Rock Tumbler Pellets.

Has anyone experimented with these type of plastic pellets before? Do you think it might do well for filler in footbags? I'm trying to find a choice plastic filler along with the Copper/Steel/Lead BBs I have to experiment. Really, I'd like to find plastic pellets just like the ones found in Footfighters, but have no clue where to get such things. Maybe if I call up a company specialized in making things plastic to help me on this, but otherwise it's this or Walmart.

Judging by he picture and the weight of the packet i would say that those pellets are too big. If you want to get hold of some typical pellets go to a craft shop and get some poly fill used for stuffing teddy bears.

I'm thinking about something... and there is a very high chance it has something to do with footbag.

I use the plastic pellets for teddy bears. I don't like it though... I wanna find sumthing heavier and that works better! You have to put in alot of those damn pellets before the bag's sufficiently buffered. They look prrrretty similar to the pellets you showed us, Waylon.

yeah, I guess I'm gonna try Michael's. Cuz I need some good poly pellets. The small grayish/brown ones are perfect.

I suppose. I mean, what I'm looking for are small flat plastic pellets I guess. But really, something like those found in Footfighters would be ideal for me. I'll try to look into craft stores to help find what I'm looking for though. :/
