This is a HackySack containing a small
digital counter. It acts as a pedometer,
counting up a running sequence of non-
stop hacks. Other settings could
calculate
maximum height attained (from the
period), give a score based on your
ability
to match a preselected rhythm, and
record
average
hacks/minute. Maybe it could
calculate calories burned.
This idea probably missed its window by
about 15-20 years. My main concern is
that it runs a little counter to the laid-
back
'tude the game engenders, but I do know
players who have competed for both
height and duration.

Not a New Jersey city. Not the latest internet trojan. It's a footbag...I looked it up. [jurist, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

[l3EA], the counter is fully inside the
Sack and is removable, through a
Velcro-closure slit, for reading and
setting. |

I don't know how it would work, but perhaps some kind of touch-sensitive device inside the hacky sack that sends a signal to a remote machine displaying your hacks. |

This would also be good for soccer keepy-uppies. Personally, I don't lose count (because I can only do about five), but I'm sure it would be popular. |
