Dragonfly Footbags

There is one question that plagues the minds of all those that attempt the sport of footbag – plastic or sand? If you are new to the sport, you may be wondering if there actually is a difference … there is. Ultimately, you will have to decide whether plastic or sand is right for you, but here are a few key differences to set you on the right path.

Essentially, all players should try to maintain a perfect symmetry between balance and motion … with a bit of “stalling the bag” in mid-air thrown in.

First time players may want to choose a sand filled bag, since this type of bag will provide an easier transition between stalling and kicking. However, bags that are filled with plastic balls are generally easier to control, though they may be harder to stall.

Confused? Well, you aren’t alone. Most seasoned players will agree that the best way to find out whether you prefer sand or plastic is to simply start playing.

You may find, after a few games, that one type of bag is much preferred over another … and you can start shopping for your ultimate bag from there.
