Hi all.

I saw a guy do this contact juggleing and was amazed.

I really want to learn myself as you guys are amazing when you do this.
I read somewhere to practice with an orange, but i dont think im going to get anywhere with my lumpy oranges lol, so decided to get my first ball.

Im going to go for the "Sil-X" ball, color unknown at the moment, but my main worry is getting a decent size. People say use 100mm but im worried it be to big.

A rough size of my hands are:

Length 17.5cm (middle finger- wrist)approx
Width 8cm (Palm of hand) approx

I know you get hundreds of what ball size questions, but i really want to make sure :/

Thankyou everyone

Welcome to the addiction, Marshall

100mm will be fine.

I'd recommend a regular stageball over a sil-x, they are cheaper and better balanced imo, plus when an onlooker asks to handle your sil x and hears silicon sloshing inside they will think you are cheating. It's personal choice though, some people prefer sil-x.

Hi welcome to Dotorg. I also suggest a stageball over sil-x. So where you from?

Hello,

So a stage ball. See thats why i needed to ask, or i would of got the wrong thing lol.

Um im looking on "ODDBALLS" website and have found the following:

Juggle Dream Stage Contact Ball 100mm

Is the above correct? They always say huge stage balls. I kept asumeing they were "HUGE" lol

Thanks for the replies btw, oh and im from southampton ( UK )

I've never used the Juggle Dream ones but it looks okay.
Looks like they have a good old reliable Babache for just 45p more. I think I'd go with that one:

P.s. don't stress too much about your first ball. If the bug bites you'll have ten more by years end

Yeah ok. So you would advise on the Babache

Il order it up tomorrow.
1 Orange, 100mm, Mr Babache.

Thanks for the advice.
