Types of Juggling Balls & Beanbags

"Now that you know how to juggle, what you need to do is just practice it enough so that you actually can. Learning from a video is a little hard, but you need to go home and practice it on your own. And everything should work out if you do it long enough. So you know how to juggle, what you need to do now is find something worth juggling. There are a couple different things that people usually juggle. What I'm using right now are called loose filled bean bags. And they're just, they're just like a hacky sack or something, just a very loose bean bag. A lot of jugglers use these for higher number juggling. If you're juggling five or more. I like them a lot, they're easy, they're soft. I think they're pretty. A lot of jugglers like to use perfect spheres however, instead of the loose bean bags. What I have here are a couple of different kinds of balls that normal jugglers use. This would be a tight filled bean bag, you can get these or the loose filled bean bag online. And there's a lot of different juggling vendors around. These feel pretty similar, they don't roll when you drop them which is always a good thing. And they're pretty easy to learn how to juggle. This is what a normal juggling ball would be. There's also what are called stage balls similar to this. A stage ball will be a sphere, it's usually made out of hard rubber. This one's rubber foam, but they usually do roll a little bit if you drop. They're usually much bigger, kind of as a visual effect for people who are juggling on stage maybe. And professional jugglers who do three ball routines or circus jugglers often use stage balls. There's also one of my favorite types of ball, it's called a Russian ball. Now this is a homemade Russian ball, but you can find them online as well. And what a Russian ball is, it's a plastic sphere with a grain in it of some sort. Like this one has birdseed in it. What happens is it will juggle just like a normal sphere, but it's lighter than a solid filled and when you drop it, it won't roll because of the grains inside of it. So this is one of my favorite things to juggle with. And you can get them online with different vendors, or you can make your own like this."
