Sweet!
I was a soccer player for a long time, and I've done a little bit of footbag here and there, with a pellet filled bag, which I thought was no good haha. But, I just got it about 2 or 3 hours ago, and my record is 15 kicks, and I can already do an "around the world" (I think that's what it's called). It's a very great product, AND it's got a good price to quality ratio!

durable and functional
I have owned several SandMaster footbags, along with many other brands, over the years and what I love most about my SandMasters is that they work great right when I get them and last for a long time. All sand bags leek. That's just a part of life. But these hold up well and don't have that annoying "breaking in" phase associated with many of the more durable sacks out there. Thanks for your great design and quality production!

The best ever
I have been a juggler for 12 years and have tried sets of equiptment ranging from large to tiny. I find for the average males hand this is the best ball to use. The weight is perfect. It comes to a dead stop when caught or dropped. The best piece is the ability to make numerous catches per hand when collecting as they are not crowding for space. These juggling balls are the best! hands down.

Great for ...
For new jugglers and those that prefer larger equiptment the 2.55" juggling ball is excellent. The weight is that of the smaller equiptment allowing the juggler to use bigger toys without wearing themself out. The feel of it at first can be hard to get used to as it bounces a bit but when breaking in the ball gains a more "dead stop" quality landing. If you like Russians but want a softer grip these are the ones you need.

Excellent for show
The hybrid metal studded balls are amazing when you are performing. They add the visibility to a relatively small object. The green star in the center also afford the ball another layer of showy quality. The weight is without compare for performers looking for a techical juggling ball that is easy to control. Buy these if you like to juggle and show off.

Gotta Try
I have been juggling the 2.55" firm Hybrid juggling ball for a month and a half and I have to say I love it. The grip on it feels nice in the hand and it comes to a dead stop. All positive for jugglers. The fact that the ball is firm makes consistent catches easy as well. I would highly recommend trying these if you want an "overfull" ball.

Phat tyre review
This is my review of the phat tyre foot bags I've had these bags for a few weeks now and they're perfect. the weight is awesome it's a mix of shredded rubber and metal and it is a great mix it makes for  a cool texture and the best performance from all the bags I've tried  they come in two different panel sizes a 9 panel and a 32 panel they are both great but personally I like the 32 panel it has more control and is more round in design overall I think these will be the best preforming footbag you can buy so go buy your own phat tyre from FlyingClipper.com

Heavy-Weight Awesomeness
I have played with this footbag for 2 days now and I totally love it. Stalls are very simple with this heavy-weight footbag. My girlfriend complains that the weight actually hurts her ankles, and I reply "then don't let it hit your ankles". haha. It is a great, quality, heavy-weight footbag. Just don't get it if you have weak ankles.

Must handle to believe!
Everyone I hand these too is surprised to find them weighing nearly as much as a standard ball. I tend to use these most when doing balltimates with someone as they really make life easy when you are passing 11 or more!

These are a must-have for all multiplexers, numbers soloists, or numbers passers! Try some today - you will be very pleased! :)

For scale, they are 20% larger diameter than a golf ball, and twice the weight. All with the joys of a Tossaball!

I'm extremely happy with my purchase.
I purchased 8 of the Harlequin Color Tossaball Hybrid 2.65" Ultra Suede Soft Juggle Balls in Mid-December 2011. The website says that they are 130 grams. I weighed them on my digital scale. Three of them weighed 129g, another three weighed 130g, and two weighed 131g. I am very pleased about that. (By the way a DIME weighs 2g).

I can only personally juggle 5 beanbags, and 3 of these are a gift for a family member who recently learned to juggle.

The Ultra Suede's texture feels great, and these beanbags are intentionally underfilled so they are just slightly soft, almost feels like they are pre-broken in for you.

I couldn't be happier with my purchase and encourage others to try these.

And this may not be a big deal to other people, but I like the fact that they are NOT filled with birdseed.

I am in my mid 40s and I've juggled since my teenage years both professionally and for enjoyment. I wish I would have looked into a quality juggling ball/beanbag like this in the past, and I guarantee you that I will be purchasing some of the other types of beanbag/balls they offer.

Christmas is coming and I almost can’t wait to give my family's newest juggler their three, but I've already been juggling 'my' five and there is something amazing about these wonderful beanbags.

My only regret is that I didn't buy these a long time ago.

I give these my highest possible recommendation.

Extremely happy again with this purchase.
(Please see my review of the Tossaball® Hybrid 2.65" Ultra Suede Soft Juggle Ball if you are looking for a slightly looser packed ball)

Posting this review Christmas Eve, 2011.

I was so pleased with the others I had to order 6 of the Tossaball Hybrid 2.8" TX Juggle Balls. I personally can only juggle 5, but bought 6...most of the time I just pass clubs with friends, but just in case can't hurt to have 6 of these for passing.

I decided to go with the White Star / (Black, Orange, Blue, Red, Green, Gold) mix of colors and they are just as visually pleasing as the others I reviewed.

The interesting thing about these, is that the color along the seams highlights the stiching. It makes each ball look like a very expensive style pro sports ball. I'm not eloquent in describing what I'm thinking here, they just look great.

Also that pattern is wonderful because it really reveals spinning of the ball in the air, so if you are trying specifically not to spin the balls in flight you can very easily see how fast they are spinning.

I would love if Flying Clipper would make some balls like this with alternating black/white panels but that is for another day...

The texture is very different than the suede bags, soft yet really 'grippy' (I know that isn't a word)...not really a leather feel, but still feels like it helps you catch them.

They're glossy and have a tight feel in your hands, with a little give, but are very easy to catch.

Near perfectly round, they are also quite adequate for contact juggling and body rolls.

Like the other balls I bought from Flying Clipper, these are quality. I'm just as happy with these.

If you want something with a nice tight feel in your hands, get these. If you want something with more of a slightly broken in beanbag loose fill get the 2.65" Ultra Suede Soft(s) instead.

And like the other ones, these are not filled with birdseed, and the weights of the balls are about as spot on as humanly possible. Five of them weighed 131g and one of them weighed 130g.

I give these my highest possible recommendation also.

2.8 Ultra Suede Hybrids Review
I was looking for a hybrid ball after going through several sets of stretchy vinyl bean bags. So I did a bunch of research and came across the tossaball Hybrid Juggling Balls. I ordered a set of 7 2.8 firm ultra suede balls and was extremely surprised at how sturdy and "ball-like" they were. The quality and craftsmanship of these balls are immediately noticeable. After juggling with them for many hours, I can honestly say that these are by far by favorite juggling balls! I have sets of stage balls of all sizes, bean bags, glowballs, etc, and these are by far the most comfortable and enjoyable to juggle. The colors are surprisings vibrant, making them highly visible. And unless they are launched at a horizontal angle, they tend not to roll very far, making them excellent practice balls. They also fly perfectly, making learning tricks and patterns with higher numbers far more easy.

As far as customer service goes, Jim is extremely responsive and he genuinely cares about making sure you get the best product and the best experience. It is nice to deal with someone who cares about you as a customer and appreciates your business.

I rarely write reviews about products unless I absolutely love them. And I am in love with these balls! They are unique in design and quality and are made by a fantastic company. I cannot recommend them enough!

purchased a set of 5 of these as a replacement for a smaller set of balls, and was a little concerned that the "firm" aspect was going to be an issue. However, when I received them i couldn't have been more happy! the flight is perfectly predictable, the size was larger than i was expecting, but exactly what i wanted. Am now ordering more to complete the set!

Perfection (For lack of a better word.)
I was never able to juggle 5 objects until I tried tossaball hybrids. Each ball is exactly the same; I have never been able to find a juggle ball that even comes close! Size, shape, weight...all stay perfectly uniform even after a year of use and abuse. Not only that, but I could just sit there and stare at them because they are so beautiful. To top it all off, along with a product of top-notch quality, Flying Clipper's customer service is unbeatable. Unfortunately, there is one downside; I can no longer blame missed catches and drops on poor juggling equipment.

2 thumbs + 2 toes up
I got 7 of these in March 2012 and work with them 6 days a week. They are great. The only other juggling balls that I've juggled with are by Mister Babache. Though those are good bean bags as well, these ones are on a whole different level.
I still cant get over how they maintain their shape and the way they feel in my hands. They are an absolute pleasure to juggle with.
I have been working on foot stalls and elbow stalls and these bags make it so easy because of their dead drop.I am much better juggler thanks to these ones.
I am from India and I wrote a million mails to Jim who was kind enough to promptly reply to each one them. It gave me a lot of confidence and made it very easy to buy these because of his commitment and experience in designing and making juggling balls.
The only issue that I've faced is that one of the ball stared fading and giving off color(blue). Apart from this the remaining ones(6 red + 1 yellow) look brand new every time they come out of the drier.
I am going to buy from Flying Clipper again and already have my eyes fixed on the 3 inch Plush Puppy.

best kept secret in juggling
This is going to be the first review of this product that i will submit i got a set of seven in the mail today about three his ago and wow as soon as i held one in my hand i was captivated the weight is perfect they manage to keep there shape very well the feel of them is UN like anything I've ever juggled before the ultra suede feels heavenly in your hand and when you squeeze them a fist full of marshmallows comes to mind.
I have juggled more variations of juggling balls than care to remember and this is the first one that feels like it was made to be juggled, this is as of right now the best juggling ball I've ever touched.
After a few hours of juggling with these i am very pleased when you drop one it doesn't roll away from you, every time the ball lands in your hand it feels extremely stable.
On to of all of this i can fit all seven balls in one hand then violently shake my hand around with out one of them flying away.
There will be another review soon once i log some real practice time with them but right now i would ofbeen happy if these balls were selling@$20 a peice knowing that these are only $14 a peice blows my mind!

Great Juggle Ball
I discovered the Phat Tyre juggle ball about a month after I began to learn how to juggle. The Phat Tyre ball is very forgiving of mid-air collisions. It has allowed me to be more confident in juggling. They fit nicely in the hands for catching, tossing, and exchanging. Everyone comments how the (white/black) bags look like mini-soccer balls. I liked the product so much I have gone on to purchase a few other colors of the Phat Tyre.

Very forgiving
I am the world's most pitiful 5-ball juggler. The Phat Tyre 32-panel bags are exactly what I needed! They float up into the air, and you can basically catch them with one fingertip and correct your pattern. Really, really nice. I'm getting many more throws in before my pattern totally falls apart, and can recover more easily when it goes slightly awry. I bet they're even more amazing for actual good jugglers. Seriously, I love these. (They do smell like a tire store though, if you stuff them in your face and inhale deep. Which is kinda hokey and cool)

These balls are great! They are soft, easy to throw and catch and need absolutely no break-in work done to them The size and weight are near perfect! I bought 5 orange and yellow balls and the colors are very bright and vibrant.

best beanbags
i can strongly recommend this ball for any beanbag users.

followings are not pro and cons, but just matter of preference.

the outer material does not stretch so much as other leather beanbags such as SportCo sports beanbags.
and the inner material is bigger than birdseed used in normal vinyl beanbags.

the ultra suede gets dirty a little too easily, but the balls are machine washable.


thanks to 12 panels, it keeps the round shape well, but still easy to stall.
it is roughly as soft as well-used SportCo beanbags from the beginning.


personally I prefer large size, so this 3 inches ball is　nice.
white colour, which i ordered, is now out of production. what a pity!

Best prop ever, period
I recently received a set of the Phat Tyre Pro 70s...this must be what it's like to eat filet mignon for the first time after a lifetime of Big Macs. I haven't been able to put them down. I never realized how much I had been compromising with my juggling props until I held this bag in my hand; perfectly sized, perfectly weighted, buttery soft feel, eminently catchable, eye-catchingly visual, even the sound is great (almost silent, as opposed to the loud swish of the plastic resin in my previous set of underfilled bags). They are very squishy, but they somehow still feel structured and substantial, and maintain a very round shape in flight. Tight patterns are a breeze because throws are so predictable; I've never juggled any bag where such precision was possible, let alone an underfilled one. Nothing is perfect, though, right? Okay, fine...they smell like tires. It's faint, and it doesn't bother me, but if the smell of your props is an issue, there you go. The smell might lessen after going through the wash anyway; I don't know. Another possible issue (and I stress possible, because it might not be a problem) is whether the filling will eventually leak through the seams; but the craftsmanship of these things is fantastic, and I trust Jim has done his R. and D., so I doubt it. In fact, the only real problem with these might be the fact that all of my other props are going to be seriously neglected from now on. I'm curious about the 90% fill version, I might get a set of those too. If you like underfilled bags, do yourself a favor and get a set of these immediately. If you don't like underfilled bags, these will almost certainly change your mind. My bottom line: these are my favorite prop ever. It's shocking that they are so affordable compared to some other bags on the market, so wake up and get a set now, before Jim realizes his mistake and starts charging what they are worth.
