It depends on where you want to take your footbagging to.
From my own experience and other opinions I've read, Whamo bags are of low quality and are not recommended. However, if your footbag interest is mainly kicking alone or with friends, and NOT freestyle or net, this bag will probably do. Otherwise, search these forums for a recommended bag for the type of footbagging you're interested to get into.

I'm not a fan of leather bags but dpending on the user, they are alright. It is definetly not the best bag for a beginner; Mr Sandbags are the best. I think it's safe to say im past the beginner stage but I still love my my sandbag. If you havnt ordered already, i'd get the deal of 3 for $6.50 each (if they still have it) just incase something happens to the one since they are not all that durable. Your money will not be wasted.

After you become good with that sandbag, i'd suggest upgrading to a 32 panel. FreedomFootbags.com is great to order from. They show you info such as: durability, stall rating, set rating, kick rating, the approx weight of the bag, the fill, size, number of panels and even customer reviews.

goodluck with your new bag and hope you enjoy the difference. Be sure to post back here to share your first experience with the Mr. Sandbag.

Yeah I also always carry a few mr.s on me when going to play outside, in case someone asks to try out footbag. I wouldn't want to hand over my precious (and expensive) 32's Smile

I have not ordered yet, but my mom said that if i get A's and B's on my report card she'll get them for me, if not, i'll buy them with my own money.

Word to the post above me. Wham-o is footbag suicide. Go with the Mr. Sandbag, then move on to something like the Juice Facile Dirtbag Razz
