Hacky Sacks & Footbags
A hacky sack is a small stitched bag you keep in the air with your feet. Filled with sand, metal or PVC. Players call it a freestyle footbag. Same bag, different level of respect.

19,99 €Sand or metal. That is the decision.
Sand sits still when it lands and stalls easy. That is the Starter Footbag - 8 panels, suede, about 55 g - the bag every player learns on. Metal is heavier, faster, predictable. That is the Pro Footbag - 32 panels, 60 to 64 g - the bag stalls, delays and full combos are built on. Most players end up with both. The Starter Footbag Set is both, for less than the two apart.
Shoes matter more than you think
Footbag is played on the flat of the foot. Quantum are hacky sack shoes with a light sole and big flat kicking areas, handmade in Czechia. They are in the Complete Footbag Set with both bags and a carry bag - the setup of someone who is not stopping.

Footbag FAQ
What is a good hacky sack for a total beginner?
An 8 panel, sand-filled, suede hacky sack. It is soft, it stalls easily, it sits still when it lands, and it costs little to replace. That is the Starter Footbag - the bag we built for basic kicks and your first footbag tricks.

Where can I buy a hacky sack?
Right here - the Starter Footbag to learn on, the Pro Footbag for stalls, or the Starter Footbag Set with both. Every bag ships from our warehouse in Prague to the USA and across Europe, and you can pick one up in person at the SkillAddicts store in Prague or find us on Amazon in Europe. Delivery times and costs are on the shipping page. If you are buying elsewhere, look for a sand-filled suede bag with 8 to 32 panels - a plastic-pellet bag from a general store bounces and rolls, and it makes the first month harder than it needs to be.

What is a footbag?
A footbag is the player's name for a hacky sack: a small, round, stitched bag filled with sand or metal pellets that you keep in the air with your feet. Freestyle footbag is the discipline of doing tricks with it - kicks, stalls, delays and combos - alone or in a circle. SkillAddicts makes a sand bag for learning and a metal bag for competition-level tricks. Learn how to play hacky sack step by step with the SkillAddicts app.
Sand or metal fill - which hacky sack should I get?
Sand to learn, metal to control. A sand-filled bag (around 55 g) is slower and more forgiving, which is what you want while your feet are learning where the bag is. A metal-filled bag (60 to 64 g) is heavier and more predictable, which is what stalls, delays and combos need. Most players own both: the Starter Footbag for kicks and the Pro Footbag for stalls - the Starter Footbag Set is exactly those two bags.
Panel count matters less than the fill. An 8 panel bag is simple and cheap to replace; a 32 panel bag is rounder and holds its shape through hard stalls, which is why the Pro Footbag has 32.
