10 - unnecessary movement - Can You give one or two examples of which in particular unnecessary movement there is. (unnecessary walking with pattern instead of doing pure, isolated? unnecessary flourishing? unnecessary, exaggerated use of shoulders, upper arms for an easy small 3b pattern?).     I also see a problem defining "unnnecessary" for vivid, dynamic, dancing style juggling vs static, immobile styles (doing the same patterns). It would be very helpful, though, to know which movements or parts of movements are necessary (wouldn't go without, somehow the prop must go up), and which really aren't. And I wonder if such required minimum movements necessary can be easily spotted and defined.

Are there elements of toss-juggling? Is there an elementary most basic (easiest, uncomplicated, minimum) throw?

I lately tried to break down the simplest very low 1 ball throw from relaxed standing position with hanging arms and stronghand holding the ball, intending to find  t h e  most basic element of toss-juggling (possibly in order to build a natural optimized juggling theory up on from there): So, in that position, I thought, it might be a good idea to lift my forearm to get prepared for a throw. I lifted it to 90° angle to upper arm. I found by the weight of my forearm up, the upper arm would sway back slightly, then pointing slightly backwards. Then I lowered the forearm a bit to build up momentum and continued the movement back up to release the ball. It (instinctively?) happened with rather stiff wrist which seems to provide greater control on the flight direction (straight up in this case).   A day later, I wondered, why I had lifted my forearm just to get upward rid of the ball in the hanging hand, when I might just aswell throw earlier from further below and could use my wrist more to make up for a long way up of the forearm. So, this time, I threw right on fromout hanging arm, mainly from my wrist, without lifting my forearm more than necessary to not throw ahead, but up.     Long paragraph to say only this: really nothing seems granted from the moment on that you decide to throw sth up. Is juggling complex from the very first moment on, does it have no basics, no elements? (And I didn't even throw it to the other hand and it hardly left my hand)
