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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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+
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.
