The Tale of the Tape on the Two BAGS Heavyweights

The Champion

Sobe Name: Steven Sobe

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 175
Hometown: Arlington Heights, IL
BAGS Style: Flop shot with the palm
Highest BAGS score: 104

Steven Sobe is a man who defies definition. A three-time Golden Tee national champion; a superb athlete in all arenas; and a magician with a trackball, Sobe is a legend in the video game universe. Cool, calm and collected, there is no one who handles the pressure of a big match or handles himself with more poise as a champion.

But don't let his Southern-bred laid-back demeanor fool you - Sobe is a die-hard competitor. No one hates to lose more than the champ, and when he sees weakness he exploits it! Just ask the thousands of challengers he's left in his wake.

Utilizing his natural touch and unparalleled trackball accuracy, Sobe is a daunting and unflappable master capable of going on runs that leave opponents gasping for air. And with his warrior-like instincts, once he smells blood it's all over.

He's the complete package. The very definition of the word champion. And come January, he says he'll be more than ready to defend his title.

"It came down to the last bag in our first meeting," said the Champ. "So I expect nothing less than another tough match. He's a machine… but machines break under pressure. I've been there before. I've handled the pressure. I'm the real thing! That's why Timmy is going down like the Titanic."

The Challenger

Mims Name: James "Timmy" Mims
Nickname: Thumbz
Age: 28
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 220lbs
Hometown: Sumter, SC
BAGS Style: Flop shot with thumbs
Highest BAGS score: 114

Accolades:
- Owns highest recorded score in BAGS
- First and only Hole-Shot-Hero
- Over 80 career 100+ games
- Once hit a hole-in-one on a Par 4 in real golf

Few knew this southern boy before his bout against the champ in Atlanta back in August. But they sure know him now!

Perhaps the premier BAGS player in the world, Mims has stormed onto the scene. In the short time since his coming out party, his no-nonsense attitude and record-breaking scores have gained him a strong following that believes he's the rightful owner of the title.

Bringing an intriguing mix of rapid-fire motion and machine-like consistency, Mims not only intimidates opponents but demolishes then on the scoreboard. He's capable of sinking every bag he tosses and scores 100's almost at will!

But unless he beats Sobe, all the stats and accolades mean nothing. Which is why no one has been more vocal in an effort for a rematch than Mims.

"I can't wait. I'm ready to go right now! I know he handles pressure well and he's been in this situation before. But if I get in a rhythm who knows what will happen. I could toss a 120!"

The road to the throne goes through Sobe. And this January, Mims is putting himself on a path towards BAGS greatness - and the $500 winner-take-all purse.

ON JANUARY 12 REDEMPTION IS AT HAND!
