This is going to follow the same format as the one ball follow the leader.

We are starting with 2b palm spinning (see video below). For week 1 you will do 2b palm spinning followed by a move of your choice i.e. 2b antispin or 2b palm spinning with 1 ball isolated.

Everyweek after you do all the tricks in the leaders video followed by a new trick of your choice.

You will have one week from the day that a leader is picked to post your video. Thom (PorcuBrine) has agreed to judge this so I think the leader will be announced on Tuesdays or at least once a week anyway.

The Rules.
*Maximum of 4 balls, Minimum of 2 balls :D
*One ball can be added or removed each week.

Here Goes....

'Ello, so I'll be judging this and by extension judging you also ;) But I like the idea, dotorg is often very 1b focused so it will be good to see the multiball getting some attention.

So you can follow this at any level, for the start at least I will be considering touching and separated palmspinning as the same thing, not everyone is at the click free, separate spinning level after all.

Getting the balls out of the palms is strongly encouraged, but remember you have to follow the whole routine so pick your props carefully. Sil-X may be perfect for toss/contact fusion but if you can't do a separate 3b palmspin you may find life difficult.

I'd also really like to see interesting morphs, formations and interesting additions/subtractions (Multiplication as well?) so go nuts with the creativity, try it and it might just work. I'll follow along to see how the routine feels.

Good luck :D

I think more versions are needed, for different amounts of balls.

I think it taking ages will be good for people learning or just practicing basics again.
I Also think a four ball and up game would be good too. I'm just not sure how many people are interested at the moment
I'm really curious to see how many people are going to participate in this game first.

I hope to disturb not with this message...

At this moment I own four 4'' balls that I bought during my endless research for the best ball available for single ball playing. Though I ordered 4 3'' balls and they should be here in three weeks or so. I don't think I'll compete, but it will be great for me to learn from your videos, since I've never practiced multi-ball (excepted a workshop I assisted at the Italian Convention). So...props to this new game!

You can join in anytime you feel ready. Like LTC said this will probably take ages.
If your one ball progression is anything to go by you will be up to speed in no time. :D

I think I'll enter this when I get home today. My 2 ball is very bad and I know nothing. But I guess the point is to learn and get better. :)

*EDIT*

Okee, here we go.



1. 2b palm spinning
2. Reverse 2b palm spinning (Is that what it's called?)

Here is my vid. Following with 2b isolated.


my understanding of the naming is that if the front ball is going from index finger to little finger then it's inward palmspinning and from little finger to index is outward.

So inward is counter clockwise for your right hand and clockwise for for left hand.

If I'm wrong can someone correct me. :D

Sounds good, thanks for the info. :) And thanks for that angle for your vid. Now I can tell what I need to make it look like. Awesome. ^_^

I'll give this a try, even though I just recently started multiball. I followed with a 2 ball ratchet.

Okaaay, so it's friday which I do now declare is the day that the leader will be announc-ed. I'm recovered from food poisoning and ready to do this. This weeks winner is Mark's Ratchet, play around with isolating different balls and moving it through space.




Try and film all of yourself when you're entering these videos, multiball is as much about movement and posture as 1b and the point of this is to think routines. Go to it people
