7 Ball Flash Achieved

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

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

18

Monday, June 12th, 2006

I watched this then automatically became a better juggler.
Made 18 catches of 5 clubs today.  I got too excited to keep going. 

Some Stuff

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

I’m up to a record 15 catches of 5 clubs.
I was watching some WJF videos and realized (before, but this time a lot more) that Vova’s arms are always at like a 90 degree angle.  I bet that makes for really consistent throws.  Mine are nearly straight out on every throw!  I’ve gotta keep my […]

5 Clubs, 10 Catches

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

But I dropped the 11th, 12th and 13th throws so I guess that’s not a true "qualify".  But anyway, my current record.

8 Catches of 5 Clubs

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

I did that a couple times today.  One run was going so well that I almost qualified.  But I just couldn’t hold on to the last 2 catches.  Not far off now!

New World Record…

Thursday, June 1st, 2006

…in the parallel universe where I’m the only juggler!
My last record of 5 clubs was 6 catches.  Man, I’m so past that now.  New record: SEVEN CATCHES!
I decided to not concentrate so much on the flash and do the typical hobbyist thing of just trying for as many catches as possible with the inevitable all-clubs-on-the-ground […]

New 5 Club Record

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

And the record isssss…
6 catches.
I was working on my 5 club flash.  I switched back to using my Delphis after proving to myself I could do it using the thinner-handled PX3’s.  But I really do prefer a wooden dowel.  I like the stiffness.  Wood really is better than plastic.  Ever see a drummer using plastic […]

Mr. Clean

Monday, December 5th, 2005

I just made 80 catches of 4 clubs in singles.
I have a wall in the basement with a bunch of black marks on it from the ends of my clubs hitting it.  I try to buy white-ended clubs now because they don’t leave marks.  BUT… if you just get Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, they clean […]

Did I Mention?

Monday, November 21st, 2005

I made 64 catches of 4 clubs in singles.  That’s 12 catches past my doubles record.

4 Clubs in Singles Record

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

Personal record of 44 catches of 4 clubs in single spins.  Did it with my Henry’s Delphins.  I’m finding that by the time I’m in the 40s, I’m getting tired and that’s the biggest factor for why I’m not going any further.  After about 20 minutes of warm up doing 4 club singles, I feel […]
