A Tutorial Request: How to Balance While Juggling

[m4n52k10]

great tutorial do u prefer Renegade's to the px3 clubs

[SKExotics]

Hey there.

what type of clubs are those?

[rowlm]

it does not look like he is answering so i might as well tell you... ime about 90% sure they are Renegade 85mm's hope it helps.

[cldball]

great tutorial,I love ur vids

[chazmagic1]

I look at the bulb of the club. I guess it would be the tape line of the top of the bottom decoration....if that makes sense..lol

[mordkontra]

Thank you for this great tutorial, with your help I've learnt balancing in a couple of days. Keep up the good work!

[cophmaster]

Does the shape of the bottom of your club matter. Mine are round like knob. I have seen clubs with flat bottoms. Does this help with the balance or does it not matter? Thanks in advance!

[oscarexpress]

I've learn balance watching this video.

Now I got to try with 3 clubs.

Anyway, great video!

[azenkcor]

2:20 - 2:25 haha, so true.

Thanks for awesome tutorial!

[5tuntman99]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, now i know what to do to balance the club properly

Thanks again

[ctjuggles]

Very glad I could help. Thanks for watching it!

[wozzers2]

dude heres one for you form the balance juggle 2 or 3 and then kcik flip one of them im think difficulty on this is way up dere becuase your gonna have to kcik up the club much harder than you normally would hit me back with a video if you can do it im not a jugglar i do sum of the same tracks ith a basketball and with a soccer ball

[jugglerjoe43]

Do you have a flat club head or like a ball shape one?

[HenryBicknell]

He has flat knobbed clubs. They are 85mm Renegades. It isn't too much harder with round knobbed clubs like Henrys Pirrouttes (what I use) or PX3's (What Jason Garfield uses) as it is all in the length of the object balanced. I have tried weird Australian made clubs with monstrous flat knobs, and found them no easier than my clubs.

[NateandJacob]

awesome thanks especially the keep it straight when you put it on your face. cuz i fullmed my self balancing my clubs and i was putting it on at an angle.

[ctjuggles]

YEah, a subtle thing but it makes a lot of difference.

[badocircus]

you speak a bit too much but it does get there in the end

[ctjuggles]

Agreed.

[pclynes77]

All your videos are great, any chance of a backcrosses tutorial? Cheers, but don't worry too much if you can't

[ctjuggles]

Yeah, I'll make a note of it!

[smirnoffda]

Tnaks, I was blocked and my balance fell. Now I have the way. Greetings

[ctjuggles]

Greetings right back atcha!

[casperov]

excellent video! i've been struggling with this. i will take the 'never let the balance go' thing to heart.

[IUAlan1]

Excellent, This should help a lot. My favorite quote:"We're not break dancing here!"

[ctjuggles]

Excellent--I'm just impressed you watched it that far! Hope it helps.

[bknobbs]

Another great tutorial from CT =D The thing that helped me the most is using a longer object for the balance. Balancing is much easier with a longer object, giving you much more time to adjust. So start off with say, a broom, and work your way down to a club.

[parapsycho84]

thanks for posting the tutorial!

I think you should do an instructional DVD.

[ctjuggles]

THAT'S a very nice comment. Many thanks for that. Question is... how would I get it sold.... Hmm. Thanks for the inspiration, though.

[RUBENKNEX]

may i ask you something?

If your flashing 7 balls (what im doing now :D) and you catch the last ball between 2 hands or between one hand and you body.

Does this count as a flash?

[ctjuggles]

I think so, sure. As long as it doesn't hit the ground. I saw a video of Olga getting her first 7 club flash-- she did what you just mentioned. Well, done, by the way.

[jcrjuggler]

Even though I've already known how to do the tricks that you have tutorials for, I think you have EXCELLENT tutorials. An interesting corollary to this video is that juggling 3 clubs while idling on a unicycle is learned the same way (ie ignore the juggle and pay attention to the idle). Anyway, keep up the great videos.

[ctjuggles]

Thanks for the compliments. I figure the reach of any tutorial is limited to just those who want THAT particular trick, but let's face it: I don't have enough skill myself to fill up one post per week for 2007 with just my own skill videos.

[thegoheads]

i totally don't plan to learn this (it hurts my neck to look straight up like that) but i still really enjoyed watching!

[ctjuggles]

My next post for next week is was inspired by one of your vids.

[zxq12]

thanks im gonna need this

[OrphanEater1]

May I give a suggestion? I think it would greatly add to the video if you opened with you doing the trick (like in the flourish video), so the people who want to see what it looks like before learning it can see it without searching throughout your video to see it.

[ctjuggles]

A really good idea. I actually did do this, but then edited it out due to time.

[superswifty]

Best.Tutorial.EVER

[ctjuggles]

Ever-- cool!

[pats4patrick213]

what kind of clubs do you have? would you suggest a certain type of club for balancing? i have dube european style clubs and the knobs are more cylindrical than spherical like something like the airflites that wes peden uses. thanks for the vid though i havent actually gotten a balance on my face yet.

[OrphanEater1]

(just in case he doesnt reply) He uses renegade clubs. I personally own dube europeans and some PX3 clubs. I LOVE the dube clubs for balancing, they are perfectly made for it and I would definatly recomend staying with the dubes.

[mistersampo]

thanks for this. Lots of good tips. I guess I'm going to have to learn it now :)

[ctjuggles]

Have at it!

[Yomay]

I got 6 catches of 3 balls.
