SportJugglingCo

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

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 […]

7 Ball Flash, again

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

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 […]

7 Ball Flash Achieved

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

7777770

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

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

Same ol’

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

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 […]

5 Club Practice

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

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 […]

Ultra Leather Gballz

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

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 […]

5 Ball Goal Achieved!

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

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 […]

New 4 Club Record! (again)

Friday, October 14th, 2005

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 […]

Mr. Sync

Tuesday, October 11th, 2005

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 […]
