The hacky or footbag bag is a small round bag containing dried grain (eg rice) or sand, which is kicked into the air as part of a competitive game or as an agility display. "Hacky Sack" was a popular footbag brand name in the 1970s (currently owned by Wham-O), which has since become a generic brand.
The hacky sack game is similar to previous Asian shuttlecock sports like jianzi . The most common game of the hacky sack consists of two or more players standing in a circle and trying to keep the sack off the ground for as long as possible.

Histori
Activities like bags have been around for years. This game is similar to traditional Asian games kicking shuttlecock, known as jianzi or chapteh. This game is also similar to some games of Southeast Asia, such as sepak takraw and sipa . This game is known as jegichagi (????) in Korea. Wu Style Practice Tai Chi Chuan dates back to the 1930s, and the police were seen playing shuttlecock in the 1955 American movie "To Catch a Thief". The same principle applies in countries that play football in freestyle football activities and keepie uppie.
The present-day Western incarnation of the sport was discovered in 1972 by Mike Marshall and John Stalberger of Oregon City, Oregon with their "Hacky Sack" product, the right now owned by Wham-O. Although Marshall suffered blood clots and a fatal heart attack in 1975, Stalberger resumed his business. It gained national popularity in the early 1980s, and Stalberger sold the title to Wham-O in 1983.
The hacky-shack game remained popular throughout the mid-1990s amongst hippy people, stoner and grunge, but failed with the turn of the century. Hacky-sacks are popular games that were played during free periods in schools around the world in the 1990s and early 2000s. It has also been used in various music videos such as Weezer "Say It Is not So".

Tools
To kick the circle, it is very common to use a hooked footbag, which is usually filled with plastic beads. Casually, footbags are often distinguished as usual (showing a pellet-plastic pellet), or as a "bag of dirt" or "sand hacks" (indicating sand stuffing).
In the discipline of freestyle legs, 32-panel bags are a generally accepted standard (number of commercially available pouches can range from 2 to 120 panels). Stitchers generally use Plastic Poly Pellets, sand, BB, steel shot, lead shot, bead seed, or tungsten shot as filler. Most professional tailors use different combinations of different fillers to make the bag play better. Bags usually weigh between 40 and 65 grams, depending on the type of filler and the amount of fillers used. The 32-panel bag is not easily jammed like a "bag of dirt" or "sand hatching", but is set more correctly than the legs, allowing more complicated tricks. Professional footwear is usually made of light, smooth, or amaretta ultrasuede cloth. While these bags can last a long time with proper care, they are quite fragile compared to the more common cousin link.
Discipline of the foot net using a different bag, characterized by a harder outer surface than any other bag. These bags are not suitable for freestyle, and vice versa.
There are also some new products available, including dark light, chain letters, and even fire resistant bags that can be burned and played. Footbag fire has been banned in South Australia.
Shoes
The most advanced freestylers wear various styles and brands of tennis shoes, the most popular are Adidas Rod Laver tennis shoes.
Some shoe modifications are common in freestyle bags. To make the foot stop easier, many players use a special lacing pattern that separates the sides of the shoe near the toe area, creating a wide and framed platform. Modified hantaman coupled with cutting stitches that join the rows of fish eye to toe. The area created by completing this modification is called the footbox.
Shoes can be further modified for the freestyle footbag by removing the fabric layer from the inside, outside, and the surface of the foot. This modification is advantageous as it allows players to more accurately feel the bag at their feet.
Games
Circle kick
Kicking a circle is the most commonly played game with a footbag, and often what people mean when they use the term "hacky sack". The player stands in the circle and keeps the bag moving around the circle, with the aim of keeping the bag in order not to touch the ground. There are various terms used by different groups of players to be noted when the footbag has been touched by each member of the circle.
The game starts when one player takes the sack and throws it into another player's chest, allowing it to fall to his feet so he can kick it, and the game begins. Play on until the sack falls to the ground, then the player takes the sack and the game resumes. The purpose of the game is to keep the sack from the ground for as long as possible. If every player gets a touch into the pockets before touching the ground, it's called 'hack'. If each player gets two touches before the sack touches the ground, it's called a 'double-hack' and so on and so on.
Circular kicks are generally accompanied by a set of unspoken etiquette guidelines designed to keep the game fun, friendly, and open to everyone including new players. The most basic rule is respect for all other players. Some other general guidelines include taking a foot bag after you drop it or kick it away, rather than asking someone else to take it; not serving the footbag for yourself; not spitting in circles; and do not monopolize footbags (often called jestering, or players can be called hack-hog) and make sure to pass bags to players who have not got them recently. Most circles are very open to new players and will not isolate anyone because they are less coordinated or well practiced than others. Some circles have an unwritten rule that there is no apology when someone drops a footbag. These guidelines are designed to keep new players feeling as if it was their fault that the game is slow, and it makes the experienced players always have to convince new players that it is not their fault. Variations on the shooting of the circle are many and spontaneously created.
Footbag-free style
A freestyle footbag is a sport in which the object does the trick with the bag. The final position of the footbag on one trick becomes the starting position of the footbag on the next trick. Tricks are made by combining various components between contacts with pockets (contacts can be stalls or kicks, though stalls are more frequent). Components include spin, agility (using legs to circle or crossing footbag lanes in the air), jumping, and ducks (letting the footbag pass several inches above the neck). Contact is usually on the inside of the foot behind the opposite support leg (Clipper Stall) or at the foot, however, many inventive possibilities persist and are used to create a list of endless tricks. A partial list of freestyle footbag tricks can be found at the Official Footbag WorldWide Information Service.
Various styles have evolved as the sport has become more popular. Players can perform choreography routines to music, alone or in pairs, performing movements that are difficult to tune with music - the result is something like a cross between rhythmic gymnastics and skating.
There is an annual world football footbag held every year. The current freestyle world champion in the single category is Milan Benda, Czech Republic, in doubles Tomas Tucek and Martin Sladek.
Footbag net
Although there is no 'victory' in the original hack-sack game, some variations have come into play in recent years. This includes three-hack-slap and hack-elimination. The rules for three-hack-slap are as follows: play begins the same way as traditional games, but after three players do sacking volleyball sacks, each player can slap a sack in an attempt to hit another player. If the player slapping successfully hit another player, the hit player will come out indefinitely until the next game begins. In some versions of the game, if a player is 'out', they may still participate in the game, but they may not be slapped or slapped. Three touches taken before the tampar must be taken by a separate player. For example, if a player is fed a sack, and kicked it three times, it means just as a touch. However, if the sack is kicked by one player, then another, but back to the player who kicked the ball initially, it counted as three touches. Basically, every time the sack changes the leg, it is considered a point to the three points that need to be slapped. Play as well until one player remains, the player is crowned the winner, and play back. In hack-elimination, play also starts as in the original game, and as the game progresses, every player tries to get a touch on the sack. If everyone has touched a sack except one, the player who has not touched the sack is ruled out. Play on until only two players are left, and they are both winners.
Another more aggressive variation on the slap-hack called 'killz' is ideally for a larger group. In larger groups, you may encounter players with varying skill levels and less skilled ones are at risk of not being able to complete the full hack. This variation allows 3 possible touches if it is with one, two, or three players out of the x number of participants, after which you can kick the hard sack you like toward each player to try to get it out. Defense is important because you are allowed to block, which encourages sneaky play: fakes, kiosks, and rebounds. This game has one winner.
