The 3-6-3 Stacking Sequence
What is this you ask?
Why it's the wonderful world of "Sport Stacking!"
These metal cups are used to increase one's stacking speed--much like one improves one's bat speed by warming up with a heavier bat.
This, unfortunately, is no joke!! There truly is a "sport" called "Competitive Speed Stacking." Those competing in this sport have their own pad (as seen above), and the goal is to stack one's cups in a particular sequence faster than one's opponent. As goofy as this sport is, a university study by Dr. Brian Udermann, currently at the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse, confirms that stacking improves hand-eye coordination and reaction time by up to 30 percent. How interesting! For more information on this exciting new sport, go to SpeedStacks.com.
There are also mini cups for dexterity.
A "mini mat" for "mini practice"...
There are also full-size mats. This one is a "Generation 2 Model," which sadly indicates there is a Generation 1 Model as well.
One student named Jason Counts said of cup stacking, "It changed my life. Before then, I was kind of going down the wrong path. Since I got into cup stacking, I've changed tremendously." -Come on, bro., you can't be serious?
