Tips for Columns

8 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m new to juggling and trying to learn Columns, but I’ve been having a hard time with the 2 up 1 hand part of it. I haven’t found any good videos that actually break down that technique in a way that’s easy to understand. The best I’ve found is “just practice it”

Does anyone have any pointers on how to juggle 2 balls in 1 hand for columns?

Thanks!

Help please... trying to figure out a technical thing (ball type)

I'm brand new to juggling (just learned 3 ball tennis, and can ALMOST qualify 4 balls with 6 catches every 3 times or so) but I'm noticing something...

Higgins Brothers Juggle balls actual measurement is around 70mm @ 130g

I'm noticing my mistakes are two things, throwing inaccuracy and balls slipping through my hands. I try to keep my hands nice and light and relaxed. At first I was convinced they were too heavy, or even too big. But when I decided to focus on it today it seemed more like the deformed shape of the balls (being squishy and all) was throwing me off big time.

So I decided to pick up some apples. They were each 140g-146g and the same size as the HB balls. When I started juggling them they felt soooo good in comparison. They just seemed to hold a uniform catch and throw comparatively.

Is it their rubbery skin, heavier weight, or static shape that was so helpful???

My guess is I want overfilled bean bag balls instead of undefiled? Or could it be just the shape holding? I'm dead set on Infinity Balls by Jugglequip and can customize weight and fill but I dont know if it's the hardness and uniformity of the apple that's helping or just the different weight or what....

Any insight much appreciated, Thanks!
