Quick answer
Choose the Hacky Sack Strobe for light-up fun after dark, or the Plaid Series for a classic, stylish footbag that stands out during the day.
Daytime style vs. nighttime flash
The main difference between these two footbags is how they make your play visible. The Plaid Series uses eye-catching plaid patterns to bring personality to every trick during daylight hours. The Strobe, on the other hand, uses built-in strobing lights that flash as you play, making your moves visible after the sun goes down.
Both are built with quality construction to handle practice and nonstop play, so durability isn't a deciding factor. Your choice comes down to when and how you want to show off your style.
Which footbag fits your play?
- Choose the Plaid Series if…: You want a footbag with a unique, stylish design that stands out during daytime play. The plaid patterns let you express your personality while you practice and develop your own signature style.
- Choose the Strobe if…: You want to play after dark or enjoy a light show with every kick. The built-in strobing lights (batteries included) make your footbag visible and fun even when the sun goes down.
- Consider your budget…: The Plaid Series is priced at USD 6.99 (compared to USD 9.99), while the Strobe is USD 9.74 (compared to USD 14.99). The Strobe costs a bit more but includes batteries and the light-up feature. If you can only buy one, think about whether you'll play more during the day or after dark.
