  • You got mad skills. I can only move it clockwise

  • @suspekt29

    Everyone has a favorable way of spinning them around. With a little practice I am sure you can also learn to spin them the other way around. Check out movies 3, 4 and 5 it should give you an idea of how you can build up to it. Good luck!

  • Hiya, i have some of these, however, i am only a 15 year old girl, with very small hands. i can roll them, but they r in contact all the time, if not, they will be a part for a couple of secs, then they will clang togetha agen. lol, does this matta? if so, any advice? lol xx

  • That is no problem, although I could advice practicing to roll them without ever coming a part. Check out movies #3 to #5 in my channel. If you feel the balls you are using are to big for your hands check if you can get your hands on smaller ones. That can be very helpful.

  • Do you know where to buy such balls?

  • @GregIrwin2008

    The hollow balls can easily be found online. It is however hard to find good ones. You want to make sure you get steel ones instead of brass with a chrome finish. I have not yet found a shop to have solid steel spheres. Most shops do not mention the composite used and you're left guessing.

  • Great video

  • WOW, great video. Where do you buy these balls? Thanks.

  • Was this 0:43 the premise for "contact juggling" made famous by Michael Moschen?

  • i use my left hand and go counter-clockwise, usually. also, sometimes i rub both hands together, but that's usually when they fall on the floor, haha. thanks for the instruction vid; i never knew if i was doing it right.

  • i can rotate the balls with my left hand counter clockwise and with my right clockwise. its soo tough to do it the opposite way on both hands!

  • i do that with baseballs but not as fast. is it easier with those ones(*since they are smaller)

  • Your girlfriend must be proud ;)
