The isolation where you hold the ball with one hand and it looks like it's floating and your hand is moving around it? It's a very very basic isolation and I read somewhere how to do it or atleast how to practice it but can't remember where. When I try it I get a lot of up and down motion to the ball. |

I am pretty sure that they cover that isolation in the "4 basic isolations" essay.
Meanwhile... i was once told that pretending to turn a door knob (your ball being the knob) that it helped getting that iso. That bit has helped me get it. _________________ accomplishments are transient |

I can do that. But you see some people who can not just turn it, but look like their moving their hand all around it, front, back, and to the side. I just have a hard time keepng it from moving up and down. I'm constaly looking at my girlfriend saying "can you see it moving?" |

The wonderful diagram found in this thred might help. http://contactjuggling.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.html?t=5457
Try to isolate the ball on each axis alone before combining them. |

I tend to look at the ball and pick up on the reflection of something static in the ball like a door or window, then move my hand around and try to keep the image static in the ball, there are a few blind spot moments but on the whole it works for me. |

I try this too. It seems that those when I get to those blind spots is when my hand decides to move. |
