Wouldn't a one color 32 panel footbag be the best break in type bag? Since is it using the same color?

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 12 Jul 2006 16:04

i would say the same or maybe better than a soccerball. both are even, thats why. no other patterns are consistant as the two.

edit: colors make a large difference tho. a solid tulip bag would get holes in like a week. where as a tulip/white soccerball would play probably about the same, it would last longer i would imagine, as white is a nice light medium.

Is white a thin color?

What about an all white 32 panel?

in my opinion white is kinda stiff. i prefer country cream. it's soft and pretty thin plus it doesnt get holes to easy.

Field Fabrics did note that the white ultrasuede light comes extra supple. Country Cream is a much better investment in my opinion, unless you want a softer white with a faster break-in.

How about the Bag Lon won at SCI?

THAT'S THE ONE! Very sexy, and one of the most amazing bags I've ever played with. Right after he got it it was shredable. Not even kidding, the next day we had a sick f'ing circle with it. The santa Cruz video that Funklovesfootbag put out, that first circle was with his bag that was ONE DAY OLD! any way, there is my shameless plug...

Man, the stiching there is fansastic. The circle I play in uses crappy guatamallan's. I'm not gonna use my 12 in a cicle filled with inexperienced shredders.

Are Flip Flop and 5 Claw the same?

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 03 Aug 2006 17:24

nope. but theyre close.

edit.

yeah, i accidentally labeld that one wrong. those are both flip patterns. a good 5claw is on kfm's main sight. i think its red and white.

vettehunter123 · Post by **vettehunter123** » 03 Aug 2006 20:17

Ah, now I see the difference.Well I'm halfway through my flip-flop so I'll do a 5 claw later. I love that pattern!:)

Heres the real 5 claw;

From my experience, white is pretty stiff(quite alot more than country cream). it's also pretty thin. it doesn't seem to work very well on hexagons, but when i use it for pents, it lasts as long as Atlantis.

It's probably a bad choice if you are into making non soccerball patterns.

I have been told by a number of shredders/stitchers that white is bad. It's thin and it pills real easy. I have had one bag with white on it. There was only 1 hex white and it was noticably thinner. The rest of the bag felt like it would last forever, that hex felt like it would get holes soon.

Country cream all the way.

Toby · Post by **Toby** » 05 Aug 2006 01:29

White pills very easily if you face the wrong side outwards(same as every other colour), the problem is that it is quite hard to tell which sides is which with white.

Like i said, it's thin. but from my experience, it actually lasts longer than most other colours.

i love using white as a pent color. its my fav. ive actually made about 10 bags with white pents. they last just as long as flash red. ive never seen red get a hole.

white is underrated.
