Juggling 3 Clubs: Common Problems

"Learning to juggle with clubs is hard and at the beginning there will be a lot of problems with your pattern. Hopefully it'll look something like this, but it probably won't. Your pattern might have throws that are spun too slowly, spun too fast, something like that, maybe they're going forward or backwards, or maybe it's just falling apart for some reason you don't really know. A few of the common fixes you can employ...If your throws are going forward, if you're accidentally throwing forward, having to run up and catch them and throwing yourself off balance, what you can think about is releasing the club later. So if you throw forward what's happening is your arm is going up like this and you're letting go of it here, about halfway through the arc so that it actually travels forward. What you need to do is think about holding onto that club longer, bring it up to here before you release so that it goes straight up instead of forward. Think about that and also if your spins are getting off a little bit and maybe you're spinning too much or too little, you need to realize exactly what your wrists are doing because your wrist controls the spin. You have the natural spin that your arm gives the club, like that, and anything else on top of that is all by your wrist. So if you practice spinning it with your wrist and getting used to how much spin you can give it with your wrist, or how slow you can make it spin with your wrist, that will help you a lot. Just think about what your wrists are doing along with the spin of the pattern, continue keeping those throws the right height, keep good posture, try not to lean forward into your pattern or lean out of it, and think about exactly what your hands and your wrists are doing to make the clubs do what they're doing and you can fix all these problems."
