Contact Juggling Tutorial - Body Rolling 2 - The Butterfly

The Butterfly (and windscreen wiper)

Difficulty: Beginner (but don't think that means it's easy to learn!)

Prerequisites: A solid cradle

Pretty much the foundation of a lot of body rolling contact juggling moves, it's a great place to start, but that said, be patient, it can take a while to learn.

If you've got any questions or are having problems, feel free to ask in the comment section and I'll help you out.

Cheers

Pretty cool! What is that ball? What's it made of and how heavy is it?

[NathanielEverist]

@ey1987 The ball is a 95mm acrylic ball. I don't know the exact weight, but it's much lighter than if it was glass or crystal, but still heavy enough to really hurt if you drop it on your foot.

so, next one will be inside elbow stall, correct? We're did you started learning contact? contactjugglin org?

[NathanielEverist]

@lucasgabd Nah, the next one will be the palm to back transfer. I learnt through watching videos of other people doing it and copying them, and whenever I would see somebody do something I didn't know how to I'd ask them for some advice. Once you know the basic principles, it's pretty easy to just watch something and try and copy it.

@NathanielEverist You never got around to doing the next part. :\

[NathanielEverist]

@Chipmonker It's coming, I'm just a very busy guy.

@Confusedfurry

It helped me to roll the ball up and back the middle of your palm to the tips of your fingers a couple times then you can keep contact with the ball easier when you move the ball to your cradle.

[Confusedfurry]

i cant keep contact with the ball >:
