Here's a video I recorded today....

You'll understand now why I'm a toss juggler and not a contact juggler!! jeje

I'd love to hear (read) what you think and what I could improve and so on....

Hope you like it!!

BTW!! Briney I'm sorry It's not nine balls or six clubs... I think I'll get those before I get good at contact!! jeje

Greetings

Fred

You've got some nice fluidity and that enigma was fun to watch. I'm not as good as you are, but I still suggest you remove whatever that is on your wrist if it's metal as it might scratch your ball and/or disrupt your moves.

Also, you might want to try slowing down your moves so that you learn more balance and control so that the ball has less of a tendency to get away from you. You seem rushed and a little flustered. Try for serene and magical.

Hey, if you think you're bad you're crazy! I think you're doing great...way better than me(though I never practice literally).

The only thing I have to say(other than keep it up!) is slow down a bit , it'll help you look more relaxed.

Argh...I hope you didn't only start when you joined this forum, that would make me...feel...really....bad.

No, you're gorgeous, seriously. As the others said, you may want to try it a little more slowly next time but honestly, I'm quite impressed.

Loved the music and the green background too.

You've got a really good grasp of all the basics, all you need to do is slow it down a touch and work on some control.

There was a lot of 'using the ball's momentum' in there, which for me gives the game (and the illusion) away.

Seriously though, good stuff. Stop toss juggling for a while
