different types of foot bags.


Sand Hacky Sacks

Sand footbags are heavier and denser and much softer than their predecessor -- the plastic pellet-filled footbag -- notes Flying Clipper, a hacky sack supplier. But the softness and weight of the sand allows beginners to stall the footbag, which makes the sand hacky sack more ideal for stalls and delays -- moves more common to advanced players. However, because the sand absorbs the thrust of a kick, the sack becomes less "kickable" and less buoyant.

Metal Hacky Sacks

Metal footbags are filled with metal pellets to allow added stalling ability and control. These bags are, however, the most fragile and need more care to prevent unwanted wear and tear, according to Dragonfly Footbags, also a hacky sack supplier. As the heaviest of the three types, they have the highest level of control and are therefore preferred by top footbag players.

Other Variations

Hacky sacks come in a range of colors, designs and styles, each made to suit anyone's specific needs. Many companies sell different types of hacky sacks or footbags, and they can be made from almost any durable material, though professional hacky sacks are usually made from especially durable material called ultrasuede light or facile, according to Flying Clipper.
