thanks andrew ... the buyer certainly got a bargain imo ... it was a great range of bags to suit a broad range of abilities.

NEWS ... here are the brand new mini 32-panel freestyler (mk3) bags i've been working to improve again and again ... these ones came in late last week, so nobody has one ... yes, you can be the first Wink

38mm (same as mk2) and 40 grams of 2mm steel ball bearing filler (5 grams heavier than mk2) ...
improvements made to this new batch are; (a) the use of upholstery thread, (b) 2mm ball bearing filler (instead of 4mm), and (c) a little more gather in their stitching.

i have 10 of the multi-coloured ones and 15 of the all red ones (the softest).

price is as it was (i dare not say) ... so e-mail me if you have any questions or would like to place an order.

and here's another pic of a new mini 32-panel freestyler ... sitting atop some random, not-at-all interesting 182-panel kickers bag that i'm considering stocking at a later date Wink

.

i'd love some of you to try out these new freestylers ... but i promise to not go on about it Rolling Eyes

Yeah, I know I quit, but I'd still like to have a new footbag.

not much response to my new mini 32's, so i'll just keep plugging away.

this is one after a couple of brief sessions and a little hand-rolling ...

any feedback and/or review from those of you who have or have used one of these new models would be very much appreciated Rolling Eyes

I'll be shredding with mine tomorrow for sure and will be able to review it after that! I can't wait!

OK here's my review:

I've now had the chance to have a bit of a kick with elemental footbag's
new freestyler bag (mark 3) and am very impressed. This bag's predecessor
(the freestyler mark 2) was an excellent value bag - its biggest plus was
its price, and this next generation freestyler represents even better value
because not only is it cheaper than most established freestyle footbags out
there it is just as soft and shredable if not better. To say that this bag
is simply a good value bag would be to sell it short, it is also soft and
playable to a very high standard.
Straight out the envelope it was just as soft as the new footfighters
and abshires I've bought in the past, and stalled with almost no roll.
Size-wise it will suit players who like a small bag with a bit of weight -
think around 50grams. I don't like to spend a lot of time hand rolling my
bag and prefer to just play them in so I need a bag that's soft from day 1
and this fits that description better than most bags I've bought.
I've played mostly with fascile bags except for the footfighters I've
used, but I've found that footfighters have always stiffened up after
washing and needed to be hand rolled again before becoming playable. After washing this freestyler it remained soft and playable. It also looks like it will be durable (although only time will tell).
I think a good measure of a bag is to ask yourself: would I use this bag in competition? The answer with regard to the new freestyler is definitely yes
- and its cheaper than any other bag of comparable quality.
Having received bags from Lotus a few times now I've always found him
to be completely reliable, and impressively fast in terms of delivery within
Australia.

just to let you all know that these are still here Wink

... that's the beauty of making a mass produced bag (if you can call 20 mass production) ... people can buy them and they are still there Very Happy

.

the red materials pills, but is beautifully soft, durable, no thicker than most facile (yes ian, i've tested it with a guage), and after player feedback, is now also being produced in a 50 gram option too.

bag size: 38mm (slightly smaller than a golf ball).

bag weight: red colour - your choice of 40 grams or 50 grams,
grey with multi coloured pents - 40 grams only.

note: the old version (mk2) is still pictured on my website because i still have stock of that. but don't worry ... just mention that you want the latest version (mk3) when ordering ... price is the same as on the website.

now includes the NEW mini 62-panel FLIGHT (right of golf ball) ... weighing in at a hefty 65 grams.
