I didn't contact juggle yet the last time I flew...but I did catch myself practicing headstalls in the car the other day when my parents drove up to visit.

I'm in Southern Cali near the LA area. I might have to be a stand-in for Bri. :D

Honestly, I'll probably be so busy being a tourist I'll hardly have time to visit anyone. >.<

I'll be sure to carry my CJ ball with me everywhere, though!

I too have been working on head stalls. I don't think you should look for some 'dent' or sweet spot so much as put in the time to let your brain learn how compensate for the eventual movement of the ball.

The reason I say this is, the longer I work on arm rolls, the more stall points I find. It is getting to the point where I can stop the ball almost anywhere on my arm. Mostly the wrist and mid forearm, but also a spot midway between elbow and shoulder. Obviously the elbow flat is easiest.

Likewise, there are two spots just on each side of the center line of the skull that are easiest to start from but the fact that I have a hard time on the left side is entirely because I start on the right side and practice most there. Time spent practicing is the key factor more than location.
