I'm considering going into multiball because i prefer palm spinning and isolations to all that body rolling stuff so I was wondering if you guys knew which would be better - 4 x 60mm or 4 x 75mm

If i got the 60's it would be cheaper by about £20 but I already have 1 x 75mm so it would only be about £5 difference.

Is it particularly easier to contact juggle with smaller or larger balls? Do you reckon my hands would be large enough for 4 x 75mm balls? Would like to know your opinions guys :) Thanks.

If you're getting into multiball, you'll also want to buy Drew's book "Multiball Contact". It is THE go to resource for learning multiball.

Amen to Drew's book. It's truly the bible of multi-ball.

Just about to buy three 75mm acrylics and drews book all with pouches for £50???

Seems rather cheap considering each acrylic individually is a minimum of £15 as is drews book so :) Yay.

I got a clear 75mm acrylic for christmas (my parents know me well) and now that the balls are the same size palm spinning is a lot easier. Can't wait to get drews book!
