Footbag

1. Is a loosely filled footbag (hacky sack) better and easier to use?

Ultimately the amount of filling in the footbag depends on the style of play. Another factor is weight, if the bag is heavy but loosely filled that would make it good for the stalling style of play. around 40-50 grams and 40-50% full is preferred for this style of play. There is a great guide here: http://www.footbagclub.com/FreestyleEquipment If there are other players in your area you might be able to try some of their footbags and make a decision based on that. You can find other players by going to the clubs section of www.footbag.org.

4. Does anyone know where in Del Amo I can get a hacky sack/footbag?

By Del Amo, I'm assuming Chino Hills, CA ? If so, I used to work for WalMart, and we carried them in a variety of colors, designs, and styles. There is one relatively close to you. Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #3464 3943 Grand Avenue Chino, CA 91710 (909) 364-1968 I would assume Big 5 carries them as well being a large scale sporting goods retailer. I've included the phone number for the El Segundo store...Tel: 310-297-7777...Give 'em a call. For reference, the original Hack-Sack is manufactured by Wham-O.

Don't know of any stores except maybe a True Value,Ace, Do it Beat. If they don't have them in stock,they can get them. Usually takes a few days to get the order.

16. How do throw a left hook without ur shoulder hurting?How long should I wait to start amature career?

Hi Nard! First of all always make sure that when you're throwing a left hook that you keep your shoulder limber and relaxed. Make sure that the Twisting of your Hips is what actually is throwing the punch! Practice Turning in to the target with your whole body! Try it slow at first, paying close attention that you are NOT TENSING UP that shoulder. Focus on exploding your entire uncoiled body in to the hook. Remember the key words are Limber shoulder, Twisting Hips. Now go work on that dynamite hook Nard! EDIT to ASH: Hello Ash! You still have a great deal yet to discover about the fighting arts I see Unfortunately if the only outside of western boxing experience you have is the controlled points sport of Tae Kwon Do{which is very foot emphsis}, then there is alot that you still need to learn. That's totally alright though. We all are on different levels in life's journey of learning the fighting arts. If I may make a suggestion to you Ash, I would encourage you to try to find a qualified Muay Thai or Jeet Kune Do instructor in your area. It will help you a great deal in your learning of boxing! You will be shocked and pleasantly suprised at how much knowledge there still is for you out there in the growing process. This new knowledge incorporated in to your technique will help you to become the very best you can be. I would also suggest Ash that if you have a good bookstore near you that you pick up a copy of Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do. It is one of the best most comprehensive books that you will ever read on the Art of Fighting INCLUDING Western Boxing. You should really enjoy it! Good luck Ash, on your continuing journey of knowledge and learning in the fighting arts!

20. is the fearless 55 footbag worth it?

Well, this depends entirely on the style of play that you are doing. If you are really comfortable doing clippers and osis moves then sure go for it. If you are still working on your bag control you might do better to use a footbag like the mr sandbag from freedom footbags. Another option is to get in contact with some of the lesser known stitchers and get them to make you a custom footbag, you can find some of the up and coming stitchers at the modified.in forum.
