Thanks, that appears to be really useful advice. It's something I've not thought of doing before but after just 10 minutes has had a noticeable beneficial effect on subsequent attempts at rb+bal. Rb...

My 3 ball 3 up 360s are TERRIBLE! I can do a 1 up 360,a 3 up 180, but I can't come close to a 3 up 360(with balls). Does anyone know a tutorial for 3 up 360s? If not, can you tell me how you learned to...

I found it's not so much about "standing still" it's about allowing the rolabola to move underneath you without your upper body moving with it. Picture your hips as the pivot point with the rolabola...

My pirouettes are not good but I'll try to give advice anyway. Without seeing you try it the only advice I can give is to make sure that you're spinning the right way relative to the hand that you...

I learned it out of a cascade, never tried without it.Practise pirouettes and 3 ups separately. If both are great, the connection is easy!Post replyby Daniel Simu, in response to this post 2015-08-12...

I watched 7 ball endurance from afar. It was at the end of the games, but it definitely took place.I also thought that replacing 5 club endurance with a 5 club race was a reasonably nice idea --...

"Hips as pivot point" + "steady upper body" profoundly makes sense to me. Thanks for that essence of rola-bola brought to the point!Post replyby 7b_wizard, in response to this post 2015-08-12 11:05:56

Maybe don't get tempted by the high up throws to also do a slow & long spacing which will kill the time gained with the first ball up, .. but do all the high-ups at the same beat from cascade? .. A...

Do you think it helped to practice the other (N-box transition?) method too? The hardest part for me was technique - throwing level(ish) horizontal throws with force while keeping the columns gentle. I...

The 7 ball endurance, 3 diabolo endurance and club balance endurance all happened at the same time, and AFTER the official games had finished, after the tossup. That they happened spontaneously despite...

I believe - without pirouette - pulsing 3b up and down as high and low as you can, slowly going higher, then lower a.s.o. at first, then pulsing faster and starting to `play´ with the different heights...

I can't do this but have heckled people who can.If part of the problem is that your pirouettes go wonky when you are trying the 3 up 360, you could try getting a friend to help. Give them a well...
