Review on 🀹 Enhance your Juggling Skills with US Games Juggling Ball 3 Pack by Sam Thorpe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great quality but too big

These are good juggling balls for the price (very cheap). They feel good, have a good grip and are a bit light, but have a good balance. These balls don't bounce much, but they do bounce back (hey, they're round). I would highly recommend them to adults who want to learn to juggle or who need bigger, more visible juggling balls to show their friends when they have some juggling skills. I deducted one star because these juggling balls are too big for beginners, women with small hands and children. Also, for experienced jugglers (like me) they would be amazing if they were a bit smaller because for the price they are a great way to have a whole bunch of number juggling balls (4, 5, 6!). They're still a good juggling ball, but at a full 3 inches, they're difficult to control in large numbers. I know the size is in the description (I expect at least one comment to let me know about that fact), but it's hard to know how well an object will juggle based on size alone without a reference point. For what it's worth I'll try to give some references here. Three inches is the size of a baseball, larger than a tennis ball, and also on the big end of the scale for high-quality (expensive) juggling props. In general, a three-inch ball is considered "large" Juggling props catalog or website specializing in professional or better props. high quality props. Everything shows that I keep my 4 star rating. The balls juggle well and they are great value for money but you really can't beat the feel of the more expensive stage balls out there. I think they are the best as a starter kit for adults or as a performance or show prop for the casual juggler who has his patterns after relentless practice with beanbags or smaller props. Likewise. The size is far from ideal when trying to create an economical all-in-one starter kit. UPDATE - 10/2016: I still use them and they are holding up very well. I have to admit that I've started using lacrosse balls more than these for practice. Lacrosse balls are really affordable, bounce a lot, and are the best size (smaller than this). Sure, they're heavier, rolling and bouncing all over the place. not suitable for indoor juggling unless you want to train endurance and strength with models that don't lead to many falls. Not ideal for working on new trains. 4 stars for these balls but also look at lacrosse balls if you like practicing outside or want something heavier and smaller than these.
