I just got seven 2-5/8" ultraleather juggling balls from www.sportjugglingco.com. They are really good. My last unltraleather balls were 2-1/2" GBallz. The difference is mainly in, well the size, but really more in the way their made. The GBallz are 4 panel (although, I think they make a 6-panel one now). The Sport Juggling balls […]

I made two 7-ball flashes today. So, that means I’ve made three 7-ball flashes since the dawn of time. I’ve been working on 6-ball in 7-pattern since the last 7-ball flash I made and it’s really helping to get comfortable with 7. It’s really tiring. But it’s the only exercise I’m getting these days, so […]

Yup. First time ever, 30 seconds ago.
[EDIT: Sorry, not enough enthusiasm in this post… woo hoo!!]

On my way to learning 7 balls. Skipping 6. Did the same when going from 3 to 5. Learned 4 after 5. 4 was easy then. 6 seems really hard right now, but 7 seems almost doable. I can do this pretty frequently now: 7777770 flash

I’m finally feeling like I can control a 5 ball cascade. It sounds obvious, and I’ve heard it before, but the key (currently, for me) is to focus on making each throw to the same height.
4 club singles is really going well. I feel like I can do it until I get tired, which happens […]

It’s back to trying to do 5 clubs again. I’ve been working on 4 for a month or so now. My plan was to be able to do 444455550 in a run to work up to 5, but 4 is progressing too slowly for that. Besides, I learned 5 balls before 4 balls. 4 balls […]

Just received my new set of Ultra Leather "Elite Series" beanbags from Gballz. They are black, 2.75" @ 125g, got 7 of them. They feel really nice. They seem like they need to be broken in a bit, seem a little stiff, but we’ll see. I had the same feeling with brand new Ultra Suedes […]

Just made 103 catches of a 5 ball cascade (siteswap 5). Today it felt so easy to do 5. I think I’m over the hump. I now consider myself a "5 ball juggler". I passed my last record of 75 catches and thought "cool, goin’ for 80," but it was going so well I just […]

Today I made 52 catches of 4 clubs! It’s starting to really feel 2nd nature. And I only had to walk across half my front lawn this time.
I also matched my 5 ball record twice! 75 catches. Just couldn’t manage to keep it together enough to pass it, but it was nice to […]

Today while practicing 4 clubs it felt really comfortable, but I always ended up in a synchronous pattern. That’s no good.
5 balls is getting much more comfortable too. I can get about 40 catches on average now, but I always start to fall apart soon after. Not sure if it’s just a mental thing with […]
