I just looked at it now, and I'm not sure I understand the pattern that he uses. Either way, it's worth a try.

I've seen a design like that on another 8 panel. It looks pretty tight. I'd give it a shot. Considering it's crushed panne, it seems like it will be a good bag.
*edit* Also, take a closer look at the design. It's still the revolution design, just the panels were sliced into triangles or something. It's going to be a pretty cool bag.

The sandblaster isnt new they used to sell it on http://www.worldfootbag.com i have a few of them and i think they are pretty much the same as mr sandmans. they used to also have a 32 panel bag

I think I'm going to stick with the cheaper Mr Sandmans considering they seem to be pretty much the exact same bag.

I've had a sandblaster for a couple months now. They aren't worth the extra couple bucks, the only good thing about it is the interesting design. If you want a more playable,a bit cheaper bag, stick with the reg. Sandman footbag.

I agree... I messed with one for a few seconds... They end up elongating some as you play. Not to mention there is an awkward feel with it.

i remember someone telling me that daryl was working on a new design that he said would blow away the mr sandman. is this it?

i don't believe it's the sandblaster, because he had it up on the revolutionfootbags.com site a while back. I bought one, just because i was ordering other things from the site, and i wasn't truely impressed, it's a good bag though. Just not a breakthrough.

Maybe he modified it somehow?

I used one at east coasts. they are pretty much idectical to a sandman just a little lighter. someone at the comp referred to it as an old school freedom. hope that helps

I'm not interested in these bags, Sunny was showing me the ones they recieved, and personally, I believe they are sub-standard. If you notice, the sewing and panels isn't very even, and all they had looked rushed. You can even tell by the seams in the picture ( http://www.footbag.tv/show_product.php?item_id=12 ), all the wrinkled egdes, those should be tight like the mr sandbag. I may have a better review when I see a good shipment of these bags, but from the ones I've seen, they just aren't put together well. If I'm not mistaken, they are not going to sell most of the order as they themselves don't feel they are reliabe enough.
Look at the picture Solid posted, the bags don't even have a consistant shape, they are bound to fly wild mid-string. I don't mean to sound so harsh, but the quality of the bags I saw just wasn't there.

I would like to retract my last post concerning the Sandblaster footbags. The ones I was exposed to were defects. I'm recieving a standard one on Sunday for full review, and I checked them out last night and I'd say they are pretty awesome. Look for my Sandblaster review as well as other bags, coming soon!

i had one ofthese before a mr sandman and i think that they lose less sand and stay rounder.

the 32 panel one on revolution was like 100 dollars tho. or is not that the one?
