Bag builder

Post by richardabshire »

I would like some input on your thoughts about using a bag builder. If you like it, then do you want to see it back. If not, what would you like it to be replaced with.Richie

The bag builder was great. The only thing I would love more is if the colors chosen for a bag would be shown on the bag, and then the bag would spin around (like a globe) offering a 360 degree view of the "completed" footbag.

Its hard to visualize the complete bag when you only have 1 view, its like the dark side of the moon.

I liked it and it was very helpful, but it had its cons. I would definitely like it back though. The only thing I didnt like about it was alot of colors were unavailable and didnt leave you with a huge color combo selection. Getting a 360 view of the bag would be cool...Or even pictures of REAL footbags instead of digital previews..just a thought. Good luck with the subject

I loved the bag builder... I would suggest

1) 360 View
2) Suggested color combinations and their functions (break-in, last-ability, etc.)
3) Size variation picture comparibility
4) Weight options??
5) Design your own pattern?? (Some people might want to do this, who knows... like have the 32 panels, and then let them make their design... since it's 3D they could put the colors on whichever panels they wanted)

What would this service be worth to you. What I mean is the custom aspect really slows down production, but if the price reflects this service, then it is viable.Richie

I loved the bag builder just because I like looking at footbags, and it was great to see the different color combos. If nothing else I would like to see it put back up just as it was. But all these other suggestions sound great as well. In fact just today I was wishing I could play with the bag builder, because I wanted to know how a color combo would look...

I couldn't put an exact dollar value on how much this would be worth it, but if someone was using something like a custom pattern or... something more than a soccerball style pattern, then I could definitely understand paying more, and would support that.

The price will probably be 35.00 for the bag and 2.00 for shipping.37.00 total. That is a pretty good deal. I will also be coming out with Pro sets of three. Richie

Is that $35 for the custom pattern like dave was talking about? Also the three bag sets sound nice. Any price set for those yet?

I will deffenatly be willing to pay 35 dollars for a bag, or more if I get to pick the color combos... actually I have been wanting to order a bag but have been waiting for blurry world to start back up, because I love picking colors and such... I know I could just e-mail you but...

I think the Pro set of three will be 95.00. There is a little discount in that deal. Deals will get better as things get going. Richie

i'd totally be in for one of those pro sets of 3. they would be like 3 identical bags right? i think that would be excellent. slowly break one in as you play with an other! you would get really used to the feeling. i love that idea! i'm sold!

I was really not sure where to post this question but this looked like an ok spot... ok I am thinking of buying an abshire of of monster hack, but the thing I am wondering is do they have the "high performance" colors for bags that are supposed to perform better or do they only have those red, white and blue ones that are in there picture...

Performance colors. I only sell good color combos to the sites that carry my bags. Richie
