Leaking footbag.

[KBizzle]

I bought a Josh Raye 32 panel off freedomfootbags a couple weeks ago and have been shredding a lot with it lately. Although I like the bag, it leaks like crazy. I know I didn't cause this because I have only played indoors on a carpet since I got it and I pick it up with my hands anyway. I remember when I first pulled it out of its package I heard a couple beads scatter on the floor, but I didn't think much of it. Now almost every time I play it feels lighter beacause of it leaking. When I looked at it closer it looks like there is no stitch at all between any of the hexagons. I don't know if this is normal or not (I've never stitched a bag in my life), but I'm pretty sure thats where the beads are coming from. What exactly should i do? Do you think I should try to deal with it or try to return/ exchange it? Any help would be appreciated.

There aren't suppose to be any stitches between the hex's. Those spaces are called bleed holes. If you have access to any kind of shot, lead or steel, re-fill it to keep it at a weight you would like.

I think his Josh Rayes brother is still on modified, Chim-Chim I think. I would try pm'ing him with any questions, for he can ask his bro.

Yeah, mine leaks a lot too. I don't care though. I bought more filler to refill it whenever it gets too light. I'd say to just buy the extra tungsten filler from freedomfootbags (or whatever filler you'd prefer). The bag just has larger bleed holes which is normal for his bags

Thanks a lot for clearing that up zeroman. I guess I'll just have to find some extra filler.

I contacted Josh about it and he offered to send me some larger lead filler that wouldn't fall out that often. Problem solved .

Crazy glue does wonders for any gaping bleedhole.
