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 footbag. Quote from the footbag article:

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.

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.

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 ( Footbag talks about the game brefly and list of circle kick variants doesn't mention the original game at all.) The vocabulary of moves and external links useful in understanding and playing the game, no other article has that. -- Superman=) lets talk 22:00, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 13:42, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
Hacky Sack → Hacky sack – Footbag was merged into this article today after a proposed merge timed out with no comments. Since it's now an article about the general subject of little bags and how they get kicked around, it should either be moved to hacky sack or footbag. It looks as if "hacky sack" has gone the way of frisbee and become a genericised trademark, 40 years on, with WP:COMMONNAME press coverage favouring "hacky sack" 2-1 over "footbag" (and the latter cases often explaining "aka hacky sack" to its readers). Press sources only seem to use "footbag" when commentating on Guinness records and events like the U.S. Open Freestyle Footbag Championships, where the event organisers are presumably deliberately avoiding the use of a trademark.

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.
