WHICH FOOTBAG?

Footbags Have Personality!

Some are zippy and springy, others are slower & more mellow.
Some footbags can be a bit of both.

Types of Footbags

  • Freestyle Footbags – Good for stalls and tricks
  • Kicker Footbags – Designed for circle kicking, casual skills, and recreational play.
  • Hybrid Footbags – A versatile, all-round footbag that combines the best of both worlds.
  • Beginner Footbags – Easier to control for new players.

    • Stall Rating: 4-6 / 10
    • Fill Gauge: 50-60%

    Filling Type

    Our footbags are filled with either plastic beads, sand, or metal pellets.

    • Plastic pellet is the lightest filling, great for adding volume.
    • Sand is slightly heavier and has no bounce.
    • Metal pellets are the heaviest filling and take up the least amount of space.

    Pop & Stall Ratings

    Each footbag has a Pop Rating and a Stall Rating, both are rated out of 10, e.g 7 / 10.

    The Pop Rating is an indicator of the footbag’s speed and spring off the foot.
    The higher the rating, the faster, springy-er, and zippy-er the footbag will be.

    The Stall Rating is an indicator of the footbag’s capacity to stall.
    (Stalling is when the footbag stops, or its momentum is delayed, on a part of the body; usually top of foot, neck, chest, and head.)

    The higher the rating, the greater the capacity for stalling.

    Fill Gauge

    The Fill Gauge indicates how much filling is in the footbag, e.g. 65% Full.

    A higher percentage is likely to result in a faster and poppy-er footbag, though this is relative to the filling type.

    Size

    My footbags are between 50-65 mm in diameter.
    The larger footbags can be easier to track, smaller footbags help with more intricate tricks.
