Well, seeing as we are starting to take over the
"Offical HOP "I just learnt a new move" thread", I thought we should contain this bit just to jugglerisng and the throwing and dropping of balls, clubs, rings and other miscellaneous juggling props.
Today I mothered learning 441.
I had a few throws of 531 but only 1 catch. I think my 5 is too high.
Note for the mods: I DEMAND on behalf of the jugglers on this site, as has been done with the aforementioned "Poi moves thread", that this one is made a sticky thread.
Otherwise its just favouritism really....

Lemonkey - Try holding the club near the knob end and throwing up slightly sloping the club downhill. I find once it starts to head back towards you things go wrong.
I've learnt 423 and441 in flats. 423 really helps.

Hey yo word.
I'm a juggler and I'm 'at' here.
At Spitz I actually juggled all night and got;
3cbx into flats strait back into bx
534 with clubs run through about 4 times which is better than usual
5551 on triples caught solid, just about once with the 1 behind the back.
I want to do something with over the head throws, like go strait into something interesting but they dont seem to lead anyway. Any ideas?
Also had a look at these 4c flats that keep being mentioned up here. No idea though, they blimin hard. Tried some 423 on flats to start me off

dunno if i should have called it snake or not... they all follow each other around but i think 4b snake would start with 4 in one hand? like a seven ball practice? what i mean is starting with 3 in one hand then its 2 balls one after the other from each hand, like a practice for 5b... looks like a snake to me tho and i'm chuffed i've got it clean.
i can't find a 5th ball at the mo so i'm practicing crossing patterns with 4.
also started playing with 651 but with 3 balls (only just realised its 4b now i've written it down) but couldn't get it to run symettrical - probably because of not having 4th ball... so if i put a 3 at the start that would make it a 3 ball pattern? siteswap still confuses me... anyhows, i can feel juggling coming back to me (although i have just got some new double contact staffs, mmm, double fishtails)

Oddly enough i find the timing and accuracy of throws with a 531 better in flats - it doesn't need to go too high, and I thought about trying it in singles, and it wasn;t difficult to get a flash straight from the cascade back into it. I haven;t tried running an all singles 531, but I think it may be a little easier than high and fast triple single pass,

14 catches of 5b mills mess! I realised you had to increase the speed with which you move your arms. I was initially keeping the same speed as my 5b reverse cascade, but soon realised you have to increase the speed slightly which means you have to be quick and accurate. I reckon I'll have it solid in... 4 months.

For four months I haven't been able to beat my record of 6 catches on clubs continous behind the back on singles. And today I doubled it to 12 catches. I even had time to mutter "Oh my god!" before dropping

Sigh. Everything is getting significantly harder these days. Today I decided to have a go at 534 with clubs, which I haven't done for ages. I nailed two rounds and back into the pattern, first time. Then I managed it a few more times, and a run of four rounds. Thens suddenly I couldn't even manage the first bloody triple of the siteswap. I kept trying but I constantly did a 2.5 which pissed me off.
And 5 clubs is going nowhere! At least I can catch 4/5 clubs these days, instead of 1 and four drops.

I started learning the 4 club flats of which much talk there has been. I managed to flash it once out of 4c singles and then back into 4c singles, which was most pleasing.
I think the best way to learn it is to have done flats for hours and hours with 3 clubs, which is what I did, then go strait for it out of 4c singles on fountains

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.
