Wow!
The first time you hold a Phat Tyre, you'll have the urge to say that because you'll be hard pressed to recall ever feeling anything quite like it.
Functionality of a juggling prop, however, is obviously more important than feel.
Once again, one catch is all it takes to realize the confidence a Phat Tyre will give you in catching.
If it lands in your hand, it will almost certainly be a catch.
Its resiliency will keep it from bouncing out, its grip will keep it from sliding out, and its weight will keep it right where it lands.
The Phat Tyre is loosely stuffed, but still has sufficient density to make throws right on target.
Its contrasting colors (if that's your preference) allow for great visual spotting, and they are washable so that won't change.
I've made hundreds of my own beanbags to get that 'just right' feel for multiplexing patterns.
The Phat Tyre is unique in that it not only has that 'just right' multiplex feel but is also well suited for numbers juggling - or for any other pattern.
I've hit some of my personal bests shortly after using these, and I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens with many of you.
Regardless of your juggling style, you won't know what you're missing until you've tried a Phat Tyre.

Great performance
Greatest Product Ever!!!!
Like Butter
Can't wait to get my new set in the mail. I've misplaced my previous set and found that nothing can replace them! Everything else seems clumsy after juggling these for some time. You drop them and they stop, ready to be kicked up into a fantastic stall. You can catch them with your fingertips or tops of your feet. These bags are smooth as butter.
Phat Tyre 90
Awesome bags!! Phat Tyre 90
These were my first set of "professional" juggling bags and I researched and asked a lot of people what is the best and it down to these and another company and honestly I can say that sponsorship works. I learned both my cascade with balls and clubs from Lund's youtube videos and seeing that he uses them sold me and I couldn't be happier.
These are not fully filled and that makes them very forgiving to poor catches it also makes them soft on the hands, the fabric and filling combination just feels so right when you hold these, I don't know how else to explain it. Just hold one you'll be sold.
Great.
Happy with quality and service!
Just received the new Phat Tire Pro Juggling props. Wow
Awesome! I hope you continue to manufacture these props. They feel
great and I can now juggle tight-low patterns much easier. Thanks for
the FAST shipping! Dan
Phat speeder bags
Plush Puppies
Just got my shipment of Plush Puppies juggling balls, along with a handy little carrying bag. I love them. The weight is good, the colors bright and fun, and they're easy to manipulate. Time to get my chops up once again. I've bought juggling balls, footbags, and twiddle sticks (back when Flying Clipper still made them {AND THEY WERE THE BEST!!}--Please make them again). I've always had great luck with Flying Clipper products, and their service is outstanding. Jim is a great guy. Highly, highly, highly recommended!! Did I say highly? I meant it.
Plush Puppies Rule!
I've now owned 4 sets of these bad boys. They are the longest lasting beanbag I've used to date and you can even wash them! They are great for 3 ball, numbers, and passing and are visible from a distance. People always think I'm juggling tennis balls and are surprised to find out they are squishy when they hit the ground. Will be a plush puppy juggler for years to come!
Great but noisy
In the past I learned most tricks (3ball cascade,reverse cascade, windmill, shower, mills mess) with hard balls like baseballs/lacrosse balls, and occasionally tennis balls. These "plush" juggling balls have been a lot easier to use as they don't break things when they go flying across the room, or fall on your toes... They are also a bit bigger than I thought (a little larger than a baseball) but are easily caught because they are "squishable". However, they make a lot of noise when juggling as if you are throwing a bag of rice up and down. Besides that, these are a great set a balls that I will recommend to many people in the future.
Great for children or small hands
I purchased three of these balls to help my 7 year old daughter learn juggling. They are a good size for her hands and easy to catch as they are somewhat squishy. Like other Flying Clipper balls they are also machine washable and have a nice dead drop.
1 week review
I've been using theses balls for one week. They are great for juggling. They feel solid in your hand, they are not to baggy or floppy. The weight makes them feel vary solid in the hand witch is great. The fabric is vary stong and the colors are bright. They are resistant to dirt and stay fairly clean. The stitching is vary strong. The size makes it very easy to hold up to 7 balls in one hand. I have the pro 90s and the PT 12s basicly feel like a mini version. I highly recommend them for learning to juggle any number of balls. They have greatly improved my juggling patterns.
Awesome juggling balls!!
I've had PT 90 Pros for almost 3 years now, and they're absolutely amazing juggling balls. I saw that Flying Clipper is discontinuing the PT 12s, so I decided to order some while I still can. The PT 12s are basically the same as the PT 90s but they're smaller in diameter (the PT 12s are 2.5 inches and the PT 90s are 2.75 inches). They weigh about the same (PT 12s are 120g and PT 90s are 125g). They feel really similar to juggle as the PT 90s, just smaller.
I hope Flying Clipper keeps making the PT 12s!! The PT 90s are a bit big. Although I have small hands (about 7 inches from the tip of my middle finger to my wrist), the PT 90 size never really bothered me because they’re so squishy. In any case, I think that it's good to keep having a mid-size PT juggling ball. That way kids and people with smaller hands can juggle them!
Anyway, if Flying Clipper does discontinue the PT 12s, then the PT 90s are a fantastic option. If you have smaller hands, then try out the PT 12s while you still can! The PT juggling balls have a really unique feel to them that I haven't seen anywhere else, and I love them.
My second favorite
These balls are fun too. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars, is I have to have some way of ranking other balls here higher. I bought these balls before I got the Irish 120s, and I mostly like the dependable performance and stalls of the Irish's better.
First, our new jugglers always like these better than the Irish's (when they have an opportunity to compare) because the rubber-filled feel so soft, squishy, and comfortable in the hand. I still love them for this. I also like to use these when watching TV or if someone's sleeping in the room because they are quieter than my Irish's
These are also good because I like to do a little foot and knee work with them while I juggle for fun and for exercise. They work admirably this way, but I think the Irish's are technically better because Irish's don't have any bounce any in them.
I think these balls are very versatile, and used to stock up our university juggling club with these before I saw Irish's.
Unusal yet pleasant to juggle!
I ordered five PT Pro 90s to practice five ball juggling. While they have a somewhat unusual feel - they've been described as something like marshmellows - I find them very nice to juggle with. As they're partially filled, they seem to be more "forgiving" when they collide on the air and they stall rather nicely. Also, they have a dead drop which makes it a lot more efficient to pick them up. They're machine washable, too, which is an added bonus.
Wow, These Are Awesome! : )
Got them in the mail today, juggled them for about 30-45 minutes and I just ordered more, just now, I think that says something.
I've been juggling off and on for about 25 years, so I've had all kinds of beanbags, both from custom prop makers and from larger juggling supply stores. I'm not going to say these are the best because it's a preference thing, but for a soft and forgiving bag, these have to be on the short list for the best out there.
These are softer than expected and I got the PT90s, so I can't imagine how soft and floppy the PT70s are, which I guess are more for stalls and foot juggling.
With the super soft marshmallow bag, there's a little wobble, but that's offset with the forgiving catch, so no issues there unless you're trying to juggle a really high pattern and even then, it's not a big deal. I originally wanted all white bags, but the solid red looked so true and vibrant in the pictures, I ended up getting a mix of 7 red and 3 white, then my new order today fills that out with 3 red and 7 white (I like to have beanbags all over my house!). The ultra suede has a such a terrific feel, I wish I could shrink myself down and take a nap on these!
Lastly, I'll add that the shipping was a little pricey, but they showed up two days after I ordered them (tracking was included) AND they sent a free carrying sack : ) Thank you!
UPDATE: Wow, These Are Awesome (er)! : )
Ben again, I left a previous review in which I mentioned at the end that the shipping was a little pricey (keep in mind, not a big deal since it was quick shipping and included tracking). Same day I left the review, Flying Clipper reached out via email, had checked their shipping costs and realized a mistake had been made and adjusted the shipping costs for me!
In addition to the PT90s being awesome, I've never received such great customer service before.
Thank you!
I'M IN LOVE WITH THESE JUGGLING BALLS
I've been juggling nonstop ever since I got my PT 90 Pros two days ago. These are my favorite balls I've ever juggled!! They feel squishy which makes them really easy to catch, but they also feel really solid at the same time, which is a really unique combination. Jim is great and he was super helpful at answering my questions before buying the balls. Also there's fast shipping so what are you waiting for? Go order some PT 90 Pro's and you can be juggling these beauties in the next few days :)
These balls are AMAZING
these are some of the best balls I've ever used, they are perfect for learning new tricks. I recommend everyone get them a set!
Phat Tyre
This footbag is fantastic. Its got a pretty decent weight, definitely a heftier one than the classic DirtBag or typical sand footbag. The rubber pellets inside cushion the metal bb's and also provide a good bit of spring, bounce or pop off of the user's knee or shoe. Great for groups. I'm super happy with this one and it's my go-to for the time being.
My Favorite
The PHAT TYRE PRO kicks like a springy rubber ball, but also stalls like nothing else out there. The weight and size is great because it's forgiving, giving me my highest consecutive kick count and also perfect to use in groups. I got the fluorescent/orange combo and love the way it looks, the tire marks are a nice touch. Props to Flying Clipper for continuing to innovate and come up with this winning fill. This is my favorite footbag of all time.
Marshmallows
I've had a set of the LD Pros for a few months now and while I really enjoy those for working on 7, 8, and 9, they feel a little small in my hands for certain other tricks. So I decided on trying a set of these.
Pros: -The quality of the craftsmanship is top notch. -Customer service is always wonderful. -Fabric feels super soft yet durable. Also has great grip. -Size is absolutely perfect for what I'm wanting. Big enough for regular 3-5 ball stuff, while small enough for numbers as well. And they fit magnificently into multiplex patterns. -These are my first balls using the rubber filling, and I gotta say... it's AWESOME. It's probably the softest and smoothest filling I've ever felt. I understand why people have compared juggling these style balls to juggling big marshmallows.
Cons: (kinda) -This is barely a con and I'd give 4 1/2 stars if I could. They were definitely saggier than I assumed they'd be. The site lists them at 90% filled, but looking at them and feeling them it sure seems lower than that. However, I think I'm really liking the way they turned out. There's nothing really wrong with them; they just weren't exactly what I was expecting (not necessarily a bad thing). So for anyone looking to buy these, remember they are a little underfilled.
Overall, I'd recommend these for sure.
FLYING CLIPPER ANSWER: Keith got the last orange balls in inventory and they were a little softer in nature than the usual run but good balls in their own right.
Speeders great for juggling
Size weight and feel are great for juggling 5 or more balls. They dont roll at all and are vary easy to catch. They are perfect for juggling practice. The shipping was very fast and customer service was also very helpful and fast at responding.
PT Speeder Juggling Ball
Only once these were in his hands did my 10 y/o focus on learning to juggle. They feel amazing to the touch, and fit in his pocket so he can -and does- juggle anywhere! He's asked for a 4th for Christmas, but I'm getting 3 more so we can start passing...
Great balls
Very good quality of balls , they fit perfectly in hand. Very good material to the touch, the weight is great also. I enjoy practicing with them .
Excellent
Amazeballs!
P.S. I can't believe you're passing on the chance to name these balls "AmazeBalls" :)
Thanks again,
Yair
Juggle scarves
My interaction with toss a ball was very informative and helpful the package was delivered on time and I received exactly what I was hoping for I will definitely shop here again
WOW!! Amazing!!
I have been juggling for just over 30 years and I have never had a ballbag like this! The weight, the feel everything about this ball is perfect! Thanks Flying Clipper!!!
The BEST beanbags on the market
I've been juggling and performing professionally for more than 20 years, and these are by far my favorite juggling balls. They have a unique grippy texture that helps prevent them from sliding out of your hand while juggling, and the size looks great on stage. A+
One heck of a Juggling Ball
I have been juggling for 23 years. I love these balls. Great weight and balance. Feel solid.
Love the Ultra
This is an awesome juggleball
LD Pros
I've been juggling for around 20 years now and just recently got back into the hobby. I can do 5 and am working on 7. My old set of beanbags were pretty trashed so I decided to get some new ones. After trying a friend's set, I was instantly sold on the LD Pros. So far, I'm loving absolutely everything about them. They're very round and go exactly where I want. The filling is smooth with just the right amount of give. And the color is BRIGHT (I got orange). They're great for numbers and multiplexing.
Also, I should mention how awesome Flying Clipper's customer service is. One of the balls I received had a small sewing defect. I emailed Jim about it and he immediately sent me another and told me not to worry about it.
It's safe to say as long as they keep making beanbags, I'll keep buying them.
Top quality
They were shipped out the same day I placed the order, with a tracking code, and they arrived a day early which was nice - I am on the other side of the states.
My initial impression was... well I was impressed. The glossy finish really does look nice and the balls are very vibrant and easy to see. I was also very pleased as they threw in a complimentary juggling bag that perfectly held the 8 balls.
I was previously juggling a set of homemade balloon juggling balls filled with barley. They were a lot heavier, and I found the weight of these new balls ideal. It took a few minutes to get used to the balls grip as balloons are virtually slip free. But it wasn't long before I was very comfortable, and found that I naturally compensated by improving the accuracy of my throws. That was easy to do with the balls being so consistent in shape and size. Having said that, if you prefer more friction in your grip, the suede is probably a better bet; I myself enjoy the feel. The blue ball grip is slightly less slippery than the silver. The grip may also change with more use; time will tell.
I am very satisfied with the balls, and would highly recommend them. I will definitely buy from flying clipper again in the future - maybe an ultra suede style for the contrast - but would replace these if it ever comes to that... they seem very durable though.

The "Big One"
They are also amazing for contact juggling because of their size. They are good if you go street performing or do stage performances because they are eye catching and very visible. If you juggle with smaller balls like hybrids after juggling these they feels so quick and snappy. It feels like you have full control over them.
Great juggle balls
The classic Dirtbag 8
These are great!
Great product and Jim was very helpful with me. Fast shipping, great service. I'll be buying more!
Thanks!

Tossaball Hybrid 2.45"Soft Juggle Ball
I like the hybrids because you can wash them (if you have ever juggled outside, you know what I’m talking about), they don’t break-down over time like seeds do, and the weight of the pellets are always consistent with respect to the volume they displace in the bag. They have also proven to be very consistent with regards to flying properties, and overall feel.
I have purchased countless juggling balls over the years from a number of different vendors, and I can honestly say that these are with out a doubt the best I have ever seen. As someone whose hobbies include sewing, it was quite apparent to me that the quality of the material in addition to the craftsmanship were superb.
The material is of the highest quality. This translates to a long lasting product that stands up to numerous encounters with the washing machine. I must admit that I was hesitant the first time I washed them, but it is actually recommended. Unlike juggling balls filled with seeds, the fill in these bags doesn’t absorb water or break down over time.
This Company is obviously operated by people who love the sport of juggling and take pride in the service they provide. Simply put, they want their customers to be happy. This Company has been in business for many years, and the positive reviews speak for themselves.
Final thoughts: How good are these products………… Lets just say that I am in my mid 40’s and this is the first time that I have been compelled to write a review about anything. I think that says it all.
