I juggle 3, but can't seem to get 4 despite being super-solid on 4 balls. I'm more into passing than solo club juggling, but with the exception of last weekend at the Seattle Juggling Festival, I haven't done either in months.

I prefer the ligher weight European clubs. I have a set of Todd Smith Satellite clubs, which are fast and very precise, and a set of Henry's circus clubs, which are also very light and quite precise. In the attached picture, I have the glittery ones that are fourth from left, fifth from right. They're righteous.

The only disadvantage I've found with the Satellites or Henry's is that they're lighter than the Dube clubs, which are much more popular at juggle fests. As a result, they can add imbalance into a group pattern of mostly heavier clubs. I get over it pretty quickly, but some I've met can be picky.

Linkage to paper clubs. They are dead easy to make and they flip pretty nice to. I made a set 1 year ago when i was learning and theyre still working pretty well.

If you dont have money for normal clubs yet then these are a great substitute for the time being.

Nice video, you have some cool kick up mount variations. I can't just roll it on my foot and kick it up lol.

You got any tips for the 4 ball shower?

[dan de man]

I hvae a new PB 30 catches of my clubs w/ all of those catches on the handle
(my best catch record is forty but ½ of them wern't on the handle

[dan de man]

any tips?

[Lucas1wheel]

Are we still talking about 4 ball shower, if so, i dont really no any tips lol. I suppose starting with 2 in each hand is probably what your doing if that doesnt work try doing it with 3 in your starting hand and 1 in the other. throw them quite hi it is significantly faster than 3 ball shower.

I can do around 19 catches almost everytime with a 5 ball shower

Maybe you should get very competent with clubs first. Maybe then get some real juggling knives which will have the correct spin/ balance combination. Only when you are sufficiently skilled should you go for cutting your arms off with the machetes. Don't wear a white T shirt or clothing that matters, others might wish to inherit it.

And yes, I do occasionally juggle knives.

Well in all fairness the average juggling machete is no sharper than a household butter knife. So offing limbs is probably a little bit of an exaggeration.

But i do agree, get really good with clubs first... Knives spin faster in my experiances and if that blade whacks your arm or hand it can deliver quite a hit, very painful.
