Hint: You’ll want the hacky sack to be at chest to shoulder height allowing for ample time to set up.

After hitting or throwing the hacky sack into the air prepare for the clipper by sliding your dominant foot backwards about one and a half feet. Simultaneously you will want to bend the knee of you non-dominant leg allowing ample room for the next step.

As the hacky sack passes your midriff this is your cue to move your dominant leg behind and across your bent non-dominant leg.
