Juggling 4 Balls: Half Shower

Video Transcript

"So here we're going to start talking about the four ball half shower. Now this is significantly different than any other four ball tricks we've talked about so far, in that each throw is going to cross hands. You're not going to be throwing right to right anymore, you're going to be throwing right to left and left to right. Now this is also going to be significantly different because you're going to have to throw at two different heights. You're going to have to throw a five height out of your right hand, and a three height out of your left. Remember the numbers correspond to the length of time each ball's in the air. If you want to go back and look at side swaps, there are a lot of good articles online. And I had an intro video a couple videos ago talking about what side swaps are and how to talk about them. But anyway, the four ball half shower is technically a side swap five-three. That is using a five out of your right hand and a three out of your left. So if you switch from the four, which is side swap four, into the half shower, it's something like that. Now this is not quite the half shower. If you actually want to execute the half shower, the five throw should be thrown from the outside of your pattern crossing over the top to the inside. So something like this. So this is the async four ball half shower. Now this takes a little bit of practice splitting your vision. But it's really just throwing it high and throwing a low, and both crossing. It's also pretty common to do it unison, in which case both throws would be the same height. Something like this. Hopefully you don't collide like that. This pattern is also often called wimpy, which we talked about a little bit earlier. But making sure that your right handed throw is always on top of the left. And that's the four ball half shower."
