Best Lightup Footbag/Hacky

Post by Tee H See »

I am considering buying a lightup footbag for some nighttime circle kicking and was wondering what people's experiences were with them.

These are the ones i am considering:

32 panel phosphorecent footbag (not powered)

more info on those here:

the glowmaster:

and my personal fav, the night hack:

I've never actually used any of these and would prefer to buy based on how they perform and look in real life. One that could stall would be a plus.
Thanks

I've played with the last two -- they are impossible to do tricks with unless you are Lon Smith. The funnest are the kevlar fire bags.

Yeh I have one, and they are awsome, they make this cool woshing sound when you kick them. They sell them at http://www.firefootbags.com I think.

i have a night hack with a red light in it, it is not that different from a regular crocheted bag...unless you are playing in pitch dark (like a basement)) then it is really tough to even kick it :)

I got a glow master for christmas, it is pretty good for kicking (not stalling) its bright and has a changable battery.

the 32 panel snake one i think is like a regular sack but it is covered with that type of paint stuff that glows in the dark if you leave it out in the sun... just a guess.


Also i have a fire hack that expired (finally burnt through). Its heavy as fuck but I pulled off some fire pendulums. Follow the instructions to make it last longer if you want to use if for a while. Its good fun.

I really like the flaming footbags except that mine died so quickly we used it about 4 times and it got a hole, we stitched it then it got another hole so we gave up. But they are hella fun, a bit dangerous if you have long hair or wearing sandlesm :P :lol:
