I’ve never ever attempted 7 balls before. It’s been my goal to learn 7 by the end of this summer, but since I’m still getting comfortable with 5, I now know it was too ambitions a goal. But tonight I tried to work up to a 7 ball flash. I started by holding 4 in […]
So since I’m so obsessed with juggling right now, I actually went out and spent $300 on "juggling glasses". I have these smaller-framed glasses for my every day work (sitting at the computer) and I was always crunching my nose up while juggling to get the lenses high enough so that I could see what […]
New presonal record. I found the trick is to relax more, not throw as high, and catch lower so my arms aren’t so outstretched and there’s less room for error. And try to throw each hand exactly like it can when it does 2 clubs by itself. Sounds simple. Oh, and when I say "4 […]
First off, just made 75 catches of 5 balls. New personal record.
Okay, since practicing numbers juggling can get frustrating, and I want to see improvement on every practice, sometimes it’s not possible. So I’ve decided to track some other records that are easier acheived. I’ll start with 3 ball record. I just made it. […]
Who can come up with the "funniest" siteswap? Here’s my entry: 800000001202020202012020202020 (try it in the animator).
Toast posted the siteswap 22 (or just 2) in the last post, that’s a real contender.
I will be the judge as to your entry’s "funnyness", which is completely objective and obvious, and the only thing you’ll win is the […]
New personal record for 5 ball cascade: 64 catches! Type 5 in the Siteswap animator to see what this looks like. Then count 64 catches, then stop looking.
I made 26 catches of 4 clubs today. Very unclean, though. 28 throws, dropped the last two, barely caught some of the others, moved around a lot. But 3334440 is helping a lot. I try to do the run of 4440 over and over, then back into 3. I figure, I have to be able […]
Made 18 catches, clean, of 4 clubs. My average is around 8 or 10 catches, so it’s getting more solid.
Here’s a good technique to build on 3 clubs up to 4 clubs. Do the standard 3 club pattern, then throw in a siteswap 4440, then back to 3. Try it in the animation applet […]
New personal 4 club record: 19 catches of 20 throws (dropped the 20th). Did that 2 times. This beats my previous record of 17 catches, but that was clean. Still haven’t beaten it drop-free.
Still working on 4 balls as a warm up to getting 5 solid. Starting with straight 4, then doing 444455550, then doing straight 55550, then moving on to 5 balls. I made a couple good runs in the 40s today. My record is still 60 catches, but even on that day, I broke my previous […]
