For anyone who starts turning to one side while juggling, it could be that you're not keeping your wrists straight which makes you have to reach for the balls. Focus on keeping them straight and the balls in a perfect plane in front of you.
I've been working on 5 balls for like 5 months now and I can barely get a run of 50 catches. After like 30 or 40 my pattern gets really sloppy. Anyways, nice job. That's really good progress for two months of practicing.
After my first 7 days with lots of practise each day i average around 10-20 cathces and my record is 33 (although i cant stop turning to the right!) is this faster or slower than average?. Oh and im poor and therefore 3 of my balls are the same and then the other two are different so im trying this with 3 different balls (1 of which is taped up)
im at about 7 weeks now, and am getting about the same amount of catches as you a 7 weeks. Got stupidly close to the 50 catches barrier today. Got about 48 catches that run. One more week to go!
I have been doing the flash for about 3 weeks and have it pretty solid(every time after a bit of warm up)! I can do 6(throws not balls ;PP) pretty good but you had like 9 going in too weeks any tips ?
Great Video. And I agree Juggling Stein awsome. He has great practice methods for learning how to juggle 5 balls. Once you get used to regular four ball juggling you are used to not crossing the balls the four ball flash works great to give the feel of a 5 ball cascade. Once I had the four ball cascade and three ball flash down it took me about three days of one hour practices to get a decent 5 ball flash. I am still a long way from mastering 5 ball juggling.
It seems you have way more time than me... I've been doing this for half a year on and off and I'm more or less where you were after 4 or 5 weeks... Having more fun right now though so I'm practicing more.
Also, the tips of watch?v=2nkkQNFvJUQ helped me, especially to go for short controlled runs and not for "until something drops" :)
Hey there, as a fix to the unintentional turning thing, I tried standing either with my back up against a wall, until I could feel that I was actually starting to "push" myself straight, or try practicing while standing parallel to a sliding glass door or a wall. That helped me keep my pattern straight left - to -right, and fixed my turning.
Btw, OT, cool vid! Great, great job! I'm very similar in progress. Have been doing 5 ball for about 7 weeks now and have so far managed a few runs of 40+ catches.
@danceallday7 No. If you want to end your routine with a 5ball qualify, that is possible. But don't expect to be able to do anything more than that very consistently.
The date today in December 28. Do you think that if I already am solid with the flash that I will maybe be able to get good at five ball for a talent show that I am in on Februart 15?
i have been trying unsuccessfully to juggle 5 since i learned to juggle a few years ago. i can do 3 ball tricks like mills mess, and 4 ball, with some tricks, but 5 ball never solid. i need help
My learning of 5 balls is like yours, but than I´m brake my 3 fingers, and later just when I´m started to juggle again I´m Brake´ed my Thumb... It´s not fun.
about how how much did you practise a day in those 6 weeks?
i have practised on 5 balls for almost 2 weeks but i have just started to get the flash without dropping too often. i dont practise more than about one hour each day.
been practicing on and off for 2 years and still cant get past 7 catches :S what the hell is wrong with me. Trying to practice every day now at least 20 min just on 5 balls. how can it be so hard its only 5 objects. *rageface*
i bin juggling for a while now im just starting to learn the 5 ball im still working on the 5b flash i cant catch all 5b sometimes so and thank you for giving me the insprition to juggle man and i like to play guitar too
How long had you been juggling when you started this?
I am about as good as you are in your first "Some Plain Old Juggling" video. And I have been learning the 5 ball cascade for only 4-5 days now and I can do about 20 throws consistently.
I figured it out. I think the main reason you were having trouble with the five ball cascade is that it needed to be higher. You were doing it very low.
The transition from 5 to 7 definitely takes longer, but I think the transition from 3 to 5 is more of a shock to the system. Also don't forget to learn 4 and 6 balls :P
i feel like six balls would be harder than 7 just because its a fountain pattern.. idk man i dont like the fountains just because i dont like having my left hand not be able to be helped by my right hand haha
@eMretsiM hi, just wondering how long did you take to really consistently master the 5 ball flash and did you take on 5 ball cascade form there? becoz i am struggling that now. thanks :)
gave up juggling because I could NEVER get the 5 balls.. I get depressed watching this simple video.. . wish I had help... but nobody near or cares.. Congrats to all the jugglers who can co numbers..
I'm juggling since January of 2009. I've began practicing 5 balls in May. My personal record is 4 minutes and 33 seconds. I can now already do the 5 ball cascade with a ring spin on my foot, the 5 ball reverse cascade, the 5 ball half shower, the 5 ball shower, the 5 ball multiplex shower and 5 ball (6x,4) and I am attempting now the 7-4-4 and the 5 ball statue of liberty. All you need is time and passion!
Cappy thinks your video is really quite spectacular--as elegant as a flower blooming in time lapse photography. If you can learn to juggle 5 balls in 8 weeks just imagine what else you can accomplish. Carpe Diem!
Short and controlled runs about 20 catches and try tom make them without turning and then slowly add throws. After a while you don´t turning anymore :D
I pretty much gave up after the flash. I think I lacked the determination to REALLY practice the full cascade well, even though I BADLY want to be able to do it.. I'll have to pick it up and start trying again I guess.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaah nooooo don't give up. i can't stand it when people do that. you can do it... you just have to be nice to yourself and keepplowin through. you can do it man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did my first successful 5 ball flash almost two weeks ago (after 3 days of failed attempts) and now my record is 21 catches and I usually get, on average, 13 or so catches. Is this a good learning speed?
Well Skeddels you're certainly doing better than me. For some reason I really hit a wall at 7 catches - found it so hard to get the 8th catch. I've been learning for about 3 weeks now and the best I've had is 9 catches, so either I'm really slow or your really fast - or most likely probably a case of both!!
lol thanks. About a week ago I made it to like 29 catches. But then I stopped for about 3 or 4 days and now I have a hard time getting to 15 =( I'm being counter productive.
@eMretsiM Hi, I'm a massive fan! About 2 weeks ago I decided to start learning 5 cos I had 3 and 4 solid, I got a couple of lucky flashes but nothing that good, it was only today I realised i needed to slow down on my throws and in 1 day I went from being able to do barely anything to about 10/11 throws
@rowlm i am indeed stuck at 7 - 9 throws now. i used 3 right white balls n 2 left black balls to monitor the end pattern as to how many catches did i get.
I think once your able to do a 5 ball 5 up cascade thats when you masterd 5 balls. It pretty tough though. Have you started on 6 balls yet? I can only get maby 40 catches of 6 balls.
Wow! you're good and when I practice I practice almost all day but I can only do 3 balls and a few tricks and I only practiced for a half of a year but once you get good it becomes fun.
About an hour a day. By the way, the clips in this video are just the best runs I got each week. I could still only get a decent run of about 15 to 20 on average by the end of the 8 weeks.
I have been learning for about 2 weeks now and can do about 7 catches perfect ugh. So annoying but each time I try and do more than 7 catches/throws, 2 balls seem to collide in the air and I drop them
you seem to progress quite fast. i've been practising the cascade for a few months now (one month actively) and i can get around 5-10 catches almost every run. congrats
Great video. Just goes to show practise makes perfect......i guess. I wish I was learning as fast as you. I can do about 20 catches but its taken me at leats 3 months. I also turn to the right!
Don't worry, it took me like 6 months to actually learn it. This video only shows the best runs I got during each week of the first 2 months (i.e. they were lucky runs)
cool thanx. Do u ever throw one of the balls in the completely wrong direction and u cant catch it because it's to far away? I do that alot. do u have any tips to make all the balls go the same height and wipth? my balls go everywhere.
I'm learning 6 right now and I often have the same problem. What I would do is just practise short runs between 5 and 10 catches until you're more comfortable with it.
very good, this video can inspire a bunch of people. Frank Sinatra song really goes well with the jugging. How many catches can u do now??? June 5, 2008
dear eMretsiM, i hope u will pay attention to this comment, iam working hard on 5 balls, i can do flash perfectly, and 7 catches all the time, but its like i get bad, sometimes i can and sometimes not, i pratice 20 min everyday, but i just dont get further, i juggled it for like 3 months! any tips mate?
If you can get 7 catches nearly all the time then you're ready to move on to 8 or 9 catches. There will of course be 'bad days' where it seems like you're stuck or find it more difficult then usual. Just make sure you can do a number of catches almost all the time before you move on.
Finally, PATIENCE is the key! Just try to make sure you practise a bit every day.
Yeah, although the 3 ball chase is probably harder than 5 balls. And if you decide to do 4 ball exercises, make sure you continue to practise the 5 ball cascade as well!

I have been learning for about 2 weeks now and can do about 7 catches perfect ugh. So annoying but each time I try and do more than 7 catches/throws, 2 balls seem to collide in the air and I drop them

you seem to progress quite fast. i've been practising the cascade for a few months now (one month actively) and i can get around 5-10 catches almost every run. congrats

Calm down. Just practise shorter runs and you'll be fine provided you are patient enough.

Nice vid. Am now learning it just over a month and have a record of 45 catches. Slow, but steady progress. ;)
I wonder how you do these days.

how good you were with 4 balls when you started to practice with 5 balls?
ortto69 3 years ago
Pretty much had a perfect 4 ball fountain. You need to be at that stage if you want to start 5. It's MUCH harder than 4.
eMretsiM 3 years ago
I'm turning to the right to, how did you improve it?
kallfil 3 years ago
Just make sure your hands aren't throwing too far forwards or backwards. Try to correct it by only doing short runs of 7 or 8 catches.

thanks bro

Great video. Just goes to show practise makes perfect......i guess. I wish I was learning as fast as you. I can do about 20 catches but its taken me at leats 3 months. I also turn to the right!

Don't worry, it took me like 6 months to actually learn it. This video only shows the best runs I got during each week of the first 2 months (i.e. they were lucky runs)
eMretsiM 3 years ago
cool thanx. Do u ever throw one of the balls in the completely wrong direction and u cant catch it because it's to far away? I do that alot. do u have any tips to make all the balls go the same height and wipth? my balls go everywhere.
flippingfo0l 3 years ago
I'm learning 6 right now and I often have the same problem. What I would do is just practise short runs between 5 and 10 catches until you're more comfortable with it.
eMretsiM 3 years ago
thanx
flippingfo0l 3 years ago
I've got that turning problem too.. :S
how did you get out of it? Just practicing?
gebboo 3 years ago
Yeah. Try shorter runs and make sure both hands are throwing in the right direction.

RagtimeJuggler 3 years ago
Try throwing the first ball high, then doing a 4 ball cascade flash thing underneath it.
eMretsiM 3 years ago
Tried it, couldnt do it, but afterwards i could do the 5 ball flash. thanks a bunch:D

eMretsiM 3 years ago
dear eMretsiM, i hope u will pay attention to this comment, iam working hard on 5 balls, i can do flash perfectly, and 7 catches all the time, but its like i get bad, sometimes i can and sometimes not, i pratice 20 min everyday, but i just dont get further, i juggled it for like 3 months! any tips mate?
ChristianEskelund 3 years ago
If you can get 7 catches nearly all the time then you're ready to move on to 8 or 9 catches. There will of course be 'bad days' where it seems like you're stuck or find it more difficult then usual. Just make sure you can do a number of catches almost all the time before you move on.
Finally, PATIENCE is the key! Just try to make sure you practise a bit every day.
eMretsiM 3 years ago
Thanks man, and btw, could u doo the 3 ball chase/trail excerises? and 4 ball and stuff?
ChristianEskelund 3 years ago
Yeah, although the 3 ball chase is probably harder than 5 balls. And if you decide to do 4 ball exercises, make sure you continue to practise the 5 ball cascade as well!
