Hi darren,
Nice post, if only I had the time
Check the club/torch swinging thread there were some early post by someone called iain and others who I think did a bit of spinning. The only other suggestion is the Gandini video https://www.mediacircus.biz/.
Oh, and I wouldn’t be surprised if young Josh has a few spinning tricks up his sleeve.
cheers

If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh

Hey darren,
Cheers very much - i'll take this thread as a compliment!
It took me ages to learn the stuff on meg's vid. A good place to start if you're a juggler is to do a few flourishy spinny things every time you drop. The two basic things i do are - .......... em - (thinking.....) thumb spins and finger spins.
Thumb spins : hold club normally, fat end goes around back of thumb and lands in palm. It takes quite a while to get this going continually - or at least it took me a while!
Finger spins : one finger (either first or second) stays in contact with the club and the others help it round. Try holding club between first 3 fingers (sort of tripod - 1st out, 2nd in, 3rd out) fat end pointing in to you - let fat end turn towards you and catch.
That's about as best an explanation as i can give - a lot of it is just made up stuff - if you can spin a pen just try transferring the ideas to clubs.
Best of luck and thanks for the comments about the vid - put a big smile on my face!

Thought I'd add this one for good measure.
When I borrowed a drum kit I got better at spinning the sticks than I did at drumming.
I can do the trick where the stick spins inbetween the index and middle fingers quite well with a club(and the reverse way but badly). Never seen anyone else do it wth a club but its so basic it must get done alot.

dunno about the other one....
