Does it matter if you have fingernails? does it make it easier or harder? or does it not really affect it? Im just curious :) I am determined to know how to spin a ball by the next time I see you at a festival Bri :D

@TheOmnipotentJuggler Hi! Yes, fingernails help a lot! When the ball spins on the nail, there is less friction and you can obtain longer spin time. My nails are kind of weak so I get acrylic nails installed(?) when I'm really into practice mode!

Where do you by gertie balls?

[britree99]

@TheCosmicOwl

I usually see gertie balls at independent toy stores. I got mine at Toy Safari in Alameda, CA

is the purple ball a gertie ball? also, do you know what size it is?

[britree99]

@rootbeer1226 The purple ball is a random ball I found at Target (chain store in US) about 7 or 8 years ago. I have not seen them anywhere since!

Is it possible with a basket ball

[renardmigrant]

small point, you'd of course spin it clockwise viewed from above if you were using your left hand.
