Mr. Sandmans...

Post by marc »

Is it me, or do people agree that they are pretty big bags to play with. I think it would be better if they made a smaller version of it. Does anyone agree ?

they are not big in my opinion. there doesnt need to be any modification to them.
There is always a bigger trick.

They're not big... at least not the 10 or so different ones I've kicked with. They don't need to be smaller in my opinion. I'm a beads fan anyway though

Maybe I'm getting used to my mini... or maybe mine is a little stretched out.

yeh if u use a mini, everything else seems too big haha i have a mini too which ive had for about 2-3months. when i play with someones sand bag or whatever, they seem to big and i have trouble with pixie sets and stuff

its just what u get used to dude... im thinking of getting a Sandman cos my mini gives me the shits (cos my ankles suck) and sometimes its nice to not have to stress the stalls all the time

actually i agree with you marc.... i like to play with sandbags... but i also like mini bags... so my boyfriend started making sandbags that were a bit smaller then the ordinary Mr. Sandman, but not quite as small at the mini 32's. they are amazing and i love the feel of them, you probably would as well.

I don't understand the need of a mini, really. If you're doing the move correctly, you can play with juice sized bags. If anything, I would get a mini after developing my game, then using the mini to shred hard. It seems like learning with a mini would develop poor habits. Could be wrong.

Hm. Is it possible he would sell one ? I'd like to try it out. Also: Pictures ? Tell me more about the bag.

Actually, I would disagree. Since mine isn't broken in yet, I think it will help develop my stalls and make them better, because the bag tends to roll.

There are other 32s that are just as roly when they aren't broken in when you first use them and are also larger, but that is a point in their favor.
