For Jugglers

Here are a few miscellaneous sections that may be of interest to jugglers. There are also several other pages that can be accessed via the menu on the left.

Globall Serial Numbers

Aerotech's Glo-equipment can be individually identified by their serial numbers; in case of mix-up, here are the numbers of my six Aerotech Globalls:

My Thoughts on Grip Styles

two clubsfour clubsClubs: If you have thick-handled clubs and small hands you may have difficulty throwing with three in one hand; I use Radical Fish because they have thin handles. To hold four clubs grip two identical sets of two, and hold each successive club a little further from the middle.
four ringsfive rings (click for another view)Rings: Rings can hurt your hands and can even give you blisters at first but they don't hurt so much once you've got the hang of them. Four rings can be held relatively easily, each gripped by one finger. I hold a fifth ring between the thumb and the middle finger.

Balls: Jugglers use many different ways of gripping a large number of balls in one hand. Personally, I place three in a line between the palm and the index/middle fingers, a fourth gripped by the little finger and a fifth balanced on top. For six balls, the fifth is gripped by the ring finger and a sixth is balanced on top. I am also learning to use the more common diamond grip.
