Ball Snatching Juggling Trick

Video Transcript

"In this video I'm going to be talking about claw catches. Now, this is a medium to easy ball juggling pattern when you do it with three. All you're doing, instead of catching and throwing like this, you're going to turn your hand over and grab the ball from the top. Claw it, like that, and throw like this. So it takes a little bit of time to get used to throwing upside down--this throw--and getting that clean. But just work on that with both hands, and every once in a while add it into your three ball pattern. Just something like that. Now work on it with both hands. You can add it with one hand solid, then the other, and what you're really working up to is solid claw catches... something like this. Now it takes a little bit of practice to get this clean. You just work up to it like that. Work on the switch. All you're doing is turning your wrist over like that, back and forth, and then you just have to get your fingers to control the throw correctly. So again, these are claw catches. It's a pretty good visual trick; people can really see the difference, and maybe you can add some growling in there or something like that... make people really like the trick."
