Aha. There's some statements to work with.
All looked fine and obvious at first read, but here's my "yeah but"-s and "depends":Break down tricks, start with an easier step for faster and better learning (start with one ball)
a) The upside-down box was my first box. I never did a 3bmills mess - jus a good bunch of windmills - I'll try that with 5b for the first time one day, if necessary to break down with 4b, only then 3b. That is: having focussed on 7b (and 5b) cascade mainly (but also doing other few ball tricks, stuff and 3b freestyle), I am used to a lot more balls in the air and have earned skills and speed, so that tricks will collaterally just fall like ripe fruit.
b) You can skip easier steps and do it the hard way (but it's not thathard). Often people tell you to do completely different patterns just because they're with one prop less e.g. lotsa 4b siteswaps with holds and or empties ("0"-s), where you don't get the constant cascade feeling or rhythm.
I don't think it's obvious or undisputable. A "sure, but"-halftruth.Use big muscles rather than small ones, e.g. don't throw from your wrists. Larger muscles are more accurate.
Completely disagreed: I believe, (if even, then) all the muscles involved should work together at an optimal rate. And using less bigger muscles (upper arm, shoulders) - those only for stabilizing purpose - and using the levers from forearm and wrist, even fingers to get on height needs less effort in sum. We're not throwing cannonballs, not even pétanque, just small weight props. Darters use less than half the weights that jugglers use. Juggling is a question of skill and technique, not force.
This one is "point of view" as far as I'm concerned.Visual feedback is useful. Don't look into the sun, juggling white balls on a white background makes juggling harder
100% agreed. I'll add disturbing, irritating strong contrasts in peripheral view; and throwing shadows, silhouettes of balls only, against a dark cloudy sky or nebulous diffuse weak cloudy light.Underfilled beanbags are easier to collect, especially if you are juggling large numbers.
"Yeah, but" they consume more thrust. They slip around your finger more easily. They don't aim as well as well filled or more compact balls. - So, not the whole truth, here, I'd say.The pattern 423 can loop forever but the pattern 432 can not. (invalid)
Absolutely undisputable siteswap maths.Holding time influences the minimum throw height.
.. at a given beat. (Else not)A cascade with clubs takes more time to learn than a cascade with balls.
Hmnjuhmjesnomostly .. not sure. I heard, some people get along better with clubs - for low numbers just as much as with higher numbers. It makes sense, as I just learned - here from ^Tom and Maria, that the throwing movement is or can be pretty different for clubs. So: "depends" what suits you better.What goes up will come down, even if you are Ignatov jr. and you juggle propellers.
Too obvious to not agree. Yet, we've seen Flüügzüch with Helium Ballons; jugglers juggling upside down (props then fall UP!); and bounce juggling in big triangles (balls ``fall´´ to and from sides too there, before they fall as physics require). So, "depends", but ordinarily: "Okay, how else."The same trick with larger props can be recognised from further away.
hmnjuhmyes .. Yes, but that's optics involving an audience, not really a guideline for the task of juggling itself, and not really what you'd start a schoolbook with. But, well, sure is true.
