20 or more consecutive throws with a “clean” finish.
I’ve been able to juggle 3 balls with a fair degree of confidence since I was about fourteen. I taught myself one long, boring summer, using billiard balls (which are heavy but don’t bounce away so much) and tennis balls (which are more forgiving when you hit yourself with them but tend to wander farther afield when you drop them).
In college, I bought a cheap (relative term) set of clubs and got to the point where I sometimes made as many as six or seven catches before one of them sailed into the nearest expensive object. I never did get to the point where I could exchange passes with another club juggler . . . had I known any.
Juggling 5 balls is much more than twice as hard as juggling 3. You have to make faster, harder, more precise throws. And the only people likely to be as impressed by it as they should be are other jugglers.
So this is a pretty silly and selfish thing for me to want to be able to do, which will require an inordinate amount of practice for very little practical gain.
Perfect! When do we start?
