CURRENT MODEL

All are very close to golfball size, some a little bigger, some a little smaller.

All filled with zinc plated steal with a few poly pellets.

if you have never experienced a 12 panel footbag you really should, they are high quality and im not just saying that to sell them. they are truley good footbags.

All play great, just like a 32, if not better.

NOW TAKING CUSTOM ORDERS!

I accept trades and money orders and checks and paypal

NEW BAGS ARE ON THE HORIZON!!!!!!!

remember, we are using something that is supposed to be catchable. By nature, it's not supposed to retain all it's roundness. it's supposed to give a little and become misshapen so it can sit on our feets. I would say that the roundness that a 12p offers is plenty round enough.

some people think that 32p is better than 12 because it has bleed holes, and you can change the filler.

Well, that's true. You can change the filler on a 32p, and if you really really like being able to do that, that's great, but remember: we're talking about footbag stitchers here, they do custom work, and they can fill a bag to your specs. If you know what you like about your fill, you can tell the stitcher of the 12p what you want, and get it in there from the start.

12s are cheaper to purchase and faster to stitch, and I think they play wonderfully. The one I got from ben was playable immediately. Less stitches = faster breakin, less stiffness. Thanks to Ben for providing good, cheap bags for us to use.

Those look like very sexy bags buddy!

I like the color combinations too! The red and lavender one is really eye catching. Keep it up!

Ben, if you can hold the Orange 55.6 gram one for me for a week or two I'll buy one from you.

What payment method do you use? They do look splendid, I'm just tight on cash right now.

ok, i can do that, thanks for the info. i can understand that. thanks for the compliment.

I take money orders only.

or you can trade if you make bags too.

Money order works. 8 ) So it's $12 with shipping right? $12 without shipping? Heh, I read to much into it.

I do make bags but they are ore along the lines of large balls of metal heh, that and they are heavy, 1/6 of a pound usually. I can send you one with the money order if you want to try it. I don't think it would be a fair trade though so I'll still send the money order.

yup, 12 including shipping

REVIEW:

I bought one of Ben Rea's bags a while back. When I see deals like this I just can't resist them

We had a little mixup with the transaction, but eventually got everything sorted out

I've had mine for a couple weeks now so I think it's OK time for a review. Break in period was fairly minimal. I think because there are less panels or because they are bigger they break in easier? Maybe. I'm no stitching expert, but I do know what a bag should play like. But anyways the bag got choice pretty quick.

At $12/bag shipping incl. these things are a steal considering the playability is close to or as good as most 32's. They are definitely comparable to many 32s, though not good as good as the handful of top tier 32's I've played with (subjective, I'm not going to get into who I think stitch the best 32's because I haven't played with everyone's bags although I will say my man Zeb Jackson is at the top of the list

).

So I would definitely recommend one. Although he may have some stiff competition from those Sidekick 14p bags, I'll be test driving those at MFJ this weekend.
