OK, so I got 3 footbags and I would like to know which footbag is best for freestyle.
<a href="http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w288/893165006/?action=view&current=Picture137.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w288/893165006/Picture137.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

The one on the left just bought ( Was a rip off) Very stiff.
Middle one is loose and stays sort of flat and right one doesn't have much beads in it and its pretty much flat when you squish it down.
So could some one tell me which one is best?

Hi Kaeman,
Welcome.

Since you posted this in the Freestyle forum, I assume you are asking which bag is best for freestyle footbag?

My answer is that none of them look very good at all for freestyle. Don't worry, most of the widely available footbags out there (crocheted, bead filled etc.) are usually pretty terrible for serious freestyle. Probably the best of the 3 you have would be the one on the right. If it's low on fill, there are guides on this website for refilling bags using a straw, which you may want to consider. I can't remember the link off the top of my head but you can search for it.

If you are looking to get into freestyle most people's advice would be purchase a Mr. Sandbag from www.freedomfootbags.com a website that is run by footbaggers (former world champ and a current US champ) for footbaggers. Also, since we're on the subject of freestyle you should also consider getting a standard pair of freestyle shoes such as Adidas Rod Lavers or Planet Footbag Quantums.

The right equipment will help you develop your freestyle game tremendously. Once again, welcome.

Yeah I know they suck but that's what I have right now. How do I know if my Foot bag has to many beads, or doesn't have enough beads?

And I am just begging so I think the bags I have right now are fine.

It's mainly preference but the bag should be about half full. The excess space provides cushion for a good stall. The amount of fill also affects the weight of the bag though. If it's too light, you may be interested in filling it with some heavier fill. The average bag is between 40-60 grams (if im wrong, correct me, but I like bags around the 50 mark.
