Disputed accuracy
This article should be merged with the footbag article because it describes exactly the same thing. Both the ball and the sport itself are adequately described at
- Stalberger and Marshall soon became enthralled with the game, which Marshall had been hoping to promote with the general public. The two designed a product, which they trademarked the "Hacky Sack", and began putting together a plan to market the product and the sport. At the same time, they decided to create a "generic" term for the sport itself, as opposed to their product, and they named the sport "footbag".

- I agree with Mr. Malchohol. --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 20:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree with both above, Hacky Sack is just a generic name for one type of Footbag. The sport is footbag, not hacky sack. This Hacky Sack page should just be a direct link to the Footbag page, the first paragraph of the Footbag page should contain information about the commonly known Hacky Sack trademark.

- These guys are the inventors of the original footbag, right? Article could be expanded. Many people call the game and the bag Hacky Sack, we shouldn't treat the term as a misnomer. If pushing for merge, put in top-level of footbag article, after introduction. --Knulclunk 13:07, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Merge Suggestion
I don't support a merge. I looked for the exact words hacky sack. I got this bare bones page. I support its being enhanced and a cross-reference to footbag article instead. Many, many people know the term hacky sack over footbag and it is quite enlightening to know it actually means that we're all talking about a proprietary name...

I agree, this is a well-known brand name. It would be like merging the Kleenex article with the facial tissue article. Or the Saab article with the automobile article. 68.9.253.26 18:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)JoshCatone
Games
The games in the Games section could be moved to List of circle kick variants.--Malcohol 09:21, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

over the past few days I have added to this page. I added the section of vocab and info about the game. I think that although "Hacky Sack" is a trademarked product owned by Wham-O, that the game "Hacky Sack" is widely used and so is public property. I was careful to talk about the game "Hacky Sack" as the game, and not use "Hacky Sack" to describe any footbag except the one owned by Wham-O. And by the way Malcohol, I think it is the other way around, footbag is the bag itself, hacky sack refers to the game (which is also called Circle Kick) I think this article adds some much needed info (

Hacky?
Could the article explain the meaning of "hacky" that the footbag is filled with?
I have just searched for hacky and can find no meaning related to this usage.

- Hacky is just the word hack with a -y suffix. It doesn't refer to what is inside, it just means it was made from whatever parts were available.71.63.160.210 (talk) 21:25, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
