World Footbag Glow-in-The-Dark LED GloStar Hacky Sack Footbag,Multi-Color

I was so excited for it to get dark so my son and I could kick this new sack around. It lasted about a minute before it started blinking out and then finally just quit. I was so disappointed. But I was not going to be deterred! I deconstructed the product and found a fix and now it works perfectly. I'm going to order a few more for my old hackey sacking buddies but make sure to fix them first.Here's what you'll need: Aluminum foil, rubber cement, small screwdriver (like from a glasses repair kit).Here's what you do:1) Take out the LED assembly (you may be able to skip this step, but it will be easier to see what's going on if it's out of the sack). Be careful to not let the beads spill out. You will need to carefully remove...it's held in by rubber cement, use that small screwdriver to cut the rubber cement away as you carefully peel the unit out.2) Unscrew and remove the cap, but leave the batteries in there for now.3) You will see two metal leads on opposite sides of the battery housing, but only one of them is necessary or "live." Take a small piece of aluminum foil and isolate which lead is the "live" one by touching the top of the battery and each lead in isolation. Only one of them will complete the circuit and make the LED light up. Mark the "dead" lead with a sharpie.4) Once you figure out which lead is "live," remove the 3 batteries (remember which way they were sitting in the unit!).5) You will notice the plastic battery housing is a small sleeve that comes out of the larger plastic housing, take this smaller sleeve out carefully (it should be loose enough, which is the heart of the problem).6) Take another piece of foil and fold it into a one inch lead similar to the size of the existing leads.7) Lay this foil lead along the outside of the "live" lead as you place the battery housing back into the larger unit, with a small amount of foil overlapping the top edge. It's important that this foil lays along the "live" lead. This will be a little more snug than when it came out.8) Place the 3 batteries back in the unit, positive side down.9) Fold down the overlapping foil so that it will make contact with the battery and the LED should light up.10) Screw the cap back on and test that the unit stays lit even as it is banged on the table or thrown in the air, as it will need to take that level of abuse in the hackey sack.11) If it passes this test, place the LED unit back into the hackey sack, noting the way it came out and reversing that process and using the rubber cement to ensure it stays place. Let the rubber cement take hold for a good 4 hours or so.12) Enjoy your new awesome (and hopefully functional!) light-up hackey sack!

Because of batteries and light mechanism, it's a little stiff when kicking. This item needs to add some more soft beads to absorb the impact better.

One of the best parts of playing with the GloStar footbag is the ambiance it creates, especially when set to the tunes of Pink Floyd. Picture this: it's a warm summer night, the sky is peppered with stars, and the psychedelic sounds of "Dark Side of the Moon" reverberate. Suddenly, the GloStar footbag is in play, painting the darkness with streaks of neon light, matching the rhythm of the music, and adding a whole new dimension to the game.

Unique footbag, cool, lights up. Thank you!

The concept is great and it is bright when it works, but the light just flickers a ton and won’t last during play. I guess they haven’t figured out how to have the light actually get kicked around and handle it? Either way, don’t get it. But please someone make one that works!!

The light is really vibrant, and you will be able to hack at night without a doubt. Everyone will love it too. But, the light will start flickering out after the first session with you friends. I mean, you are kicking around an electrical component. So its only a matter of time until you bust up the inside and something comes loose. Half the time the light doesnt stay on and it flashes on and of when you play. And the mechanism to turn it on and off is kind of a lazy design. That comes loose too. You just, tighten the battery lid to turn it on, and turn it opposite to turn off. Just like a screw. Not the best idea. Needs to go back to the drawing board in my opinion.

Got this for my fiance and he absolutely loves it. He use to have to play inside with a light on at night so he could see the ball now he can play anytime light or dark. Plus I love watching him play at night with it.
