Well, if you continue the pattern you won't have to bother with catching two in one hand. I used to mess up the last catch all of the time, too - basically, as long as it just hits your hand or something, you know you could have caught it, and that's what matters. If you do it over a bed or couch, you can just pick it up again and keep going. |

I think it took me about a week or so to be able to do it continuously. Progress is exponential, I think. |

It took a while to load up, but here's my second tutorial video. |
|
Would you mind if I post these videos onto another forum? There's a thread about juggling going around right now. |

PM sent, they can be pretty harsh though, it's a Free for All there, so be prepared for the possibility of getting ripped a new one lol. |

Right on gnome, thanks. I slept on it, picked the balls up this morning and instantly got a good ten throws in. Then I got back from school and went even longer. One day and I'm already getting better. |

Haha, that's alright. I've already managed to teach at least one person to juggle, so it's mission accomplished as far as I'm concerned |

You can! That's amazing. |
|
Very nice 5 ball! Is that hard to do? It looks amazing. |
|
Thanks! Five balls is very hard when you start trying, it is very fast-paced and your throws need to be REALLY precise, otherwise the balls all hit, or you have to reach too far to make a catch, and the pattern breaks. It's quite tiring to make such high throws at such a pace, too, your arms take a bit of a beating if you practice it for a few hours. |
|
Alright, so it's my third day, and I can do the three ball cascade with ease. The overhand is cinch (both left and right) and I just did a couple successful attempts at the jugglers tennis. I can do the two ball one hand for a while. |

Great job, CB! I was a little worried about the underhand throws, because I didn't really know how to explain them too well. The only thing I can really think to add is that you should make sure your strong hand throws the ball from under your weak hand at the same moment as the ball your weak hand just threw arcs over the middle of your body, then dart back to catch it. This timing scheme holds true for almost all three-ball juggling moves. Good luck with that! |

I've always wanted to learn this. Thank you so much. |
|
There is no real-life, there is only AFK.
I think ill try too |
|
Such a shame this has to end, things are out of his command.
I've been practising for a couple of days now, but I can still only manage the three ball flash. When I try to do the fourth throw, I totally lose control. I can do the three ball flash no problem, and I don't think practising it any more will help. |
|
Keep practicing. I thought the same thing before, but eventually you'll just toss the fourth throw and go, "Sweet!" Then it'll be five, then six, then you can go for as long as you want. |
