Love seeing the closest player, forming a hoop with her arms both for receiving, and sending the shuttle back. Skillful!

u/Dry-Marsupial-2922 Jan 27 '23
Not a ball: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jianzi

I wonder if it’s easier to kick then a hacky sack

u/Ok-Disk-2191 Jan 27 '23
Once you get used to these things it's actually much easier to hit them. The best way I can explain it is, they kind of slow down a little because of the feathers.

Playing đá cầu (the vietnamese name for this game) for a few years, hacky sack was fairly easy after trying it recently, feels pretty much the same. More control with the hacky sack, but its easier to kick the đá cầu over long distance

We used to make them as children using a heavy coin (size of a quarter or nickle) and plastic parcel rope

Isn't this same as hacky sack?

u/PCSean Jan 27 '23
Similar.
The principal is the same but the object itself is quite different. It has a spring base to lift off from the kick and feathers or wings to guide it straight through the air

u/Ri8ley Jan 27 '23
Aah. Thank you for the insight. Must go check it out. We played endless hacky sack at school.

This is like super intense backside hacky sack. I can't even play regular hacky sack. Insane

There are typically a lot of different moves in this game, the behind the back one is considered the hardest none trickshot

Is she wearing 1 shoe and 1 sandal?

u/Practical-Ad-3073 Jan 27 '23
I guess if you start with 2 sandals you end up with 1 sandal and a law suit

u/GrandeOui Jan 27 '23
she takes the piss by putting her hands together like that before it’s launched. they must have been doing this for years to get that good.

This looks like freestyle footbag (an American game)

u/possiblyai Jan 27 '23
Yes america which has only existed for 245 years - must have be an American game clearly /s

u/Superventilator Jan 27 '23
I said it looks like the American game - I simply spotted a similarity.
Why does internet discussion always have to be like this...

My friend likes to say that if you go on Reddit and say that you like pancakes, someone will take that to mean that you must hate waffles.

I'm European so definitely not in the "Americans invented everything" category. Just made an observation comparing it to the game I was already familiar with.

Don't make the mistake of labeling. One American does not define us all... He's just a sarcastic smartass , rebel without a cause

Is it an alpha version of ping pong? No wonder ypu can still play pong with flip flops - built in backwards compatibility.

I could not even kick one of these back remotely in the right direction. And I would injure myself somehow

In the Philippines this is called takyan, you can actually make one with candy wrappers and washers.

did this twice during a hacky sack game many years ago as a last ditch move, thought it was a rare thing. Now I see there are people who do nothing BUT that. Got it.

When I (From the US) went to Beijing there were a bunch of 50-70 year old women in the park doing this. They invited my wife and I to play and we said, “no thanks.” Inside I was thinking that there was no way my confidence could handle getting schooled by these women who were 30 years older than me.

It's interesting to watch the woman in this game because she gives a us a clue about how you practice for it. She seems to create a hoop over her head with her arms through which ball passes and that's how she calculates where her foot needs to be. The man across from here is seemingly more seasoned and no longer needs the aid of his arms.

So Asian women are terrible drivers but they can do this. What?? Before a mod bans me, I'm Asian, I'm allowed to say things about myself

This looks so fun.. I want to do it all day long with someone who also want to do it all day long, on a beach somewhere warm.. Probably takes damn long to learn though

You know it's serious when you see the special shoe they wear on their kicking foot.

For anyone interested, it’s crucial to one’s ability to control a hacky sack that it be well broken in. Woven cloth sacks are better about this, but the leather and faux leather versions are awful until they’re broken in. You can accelerate the process by thoroughly rubbing an oil like Neatsfoot oil—or whatever they use on baseball gloves these days— into the leather to stretch and soften it. Rolling the sack across the floor under your foot while applying pressure works well Just be careful if the floor is slick. Concrete seems to work we’ll .

They are flawless at connecting in this game. Yet get them behind a wheel of a car, total disaster

Odd Chinese game? No. This is just Hacky Sack with the difficulty turned to Asian.

Asian girls are so fucking hot, even when you can't see them from the front.
