Juggling 3 Balls: Site Swaps 2

Video Transcript

"Alright, continuing with learning how to juggle side swaps. When you see a pattern, a side swap pattern that you can follow, it will just be a string of numbers. Now, when you juggle a three ball pattern, that's just three three three, continuing. So each throw is a three ball height, and they just cross like this. Now there are a lot of cooler patterns, that's why we have side swap, is to figure out the cooler patterns. When you think about it, you need all of the throw heights to average out to the number of balls you have. So when I have a three balls, all the throws will average out to three. So if I'm throwing a three ball pattern, each throw is a three, of course the average is three. Some of the other common patterns are 441, which sums up to nine, divided by three throws is again three. 441 looks something like this. This is a very common pattern, people like it a lot. People use it a lot for different three ball patterns. When you throw a 441, what you really want to think about are two throw going straight up then a hand off. So if you start from a dead still, two balls in your right hands, it would be throw, throw, hand off. Just like that. Throw, throw, pass. You need to learn this with both hands, just that, and make sure you practice that until both the vertical throws are clean. Then you can incorporate it just like that."
