3 clubs, 45 minutes
Blimey, it's been a while. I was predictably rusty as a result this evening. Very droppy. Aside from my usual drills I played with over heads (well over shoulder really) thrown from the opposite shoulder. Worked very well from my right but not so much on my left. I was throwing a much faster spin from my right hand, probably just down to confidence in my stronger hand I think.
handstands, 20 minutes
Abysmal start, took 6 attempts before I managed my first good stand. Stuck at it though, & was pleased & surprised with how long I was able to keep practicing for given how long it's been. Really need to make more of an effort to get back to regular practice.
Total practice time: 65 minutes

6 and 7 ball practice finishing off from yesterday. Generally scrappy- nothing catastrophic though. Need new balls :(
Synch/asynch transitions worked well. Should put more time into the crossing transition and maybe the multiplex next time.
Found my 7s too high and my 6s too low in 756. The 6 should be thrown higher than the 7 as the 7 is on it's way down. Lower 7s, higher 6s.
Got a couple of good runs with 7, but felt completely random. Might stop practicing 7 until I can get some new props, or maybe use my numbers balls.
6 rings, 7 rings, 8 rings, 60 minutes
Worked on 6 and 7 rings at CUJA, and finally flashed 8 on the 3rd or 4th attempt :) Have to remember it's not a thing until I can do it asynch though- I'll need much better control of 4 in both hands for that.
6 didn't go as well as I might have expected, but I warmed up as I went and got some decent runs at the end. Not too long, but consistent and narrow. Need to focus on keeping the throws in the middle and narrow and work on getting the angle right on my right hand throws. Not ready for tricks quite yet.
7 also very rusty. Got a nice flash then moved on to 8, but it took several attempts since I haven't done 7 at all since May or June. Must get on to 7 on Sunday at Camcircus- should just about have the height and I need to do it every week or I won't get any better.
Total practice time: 160 minutes

Full session, 90 minutes
Great practise! Numbers was hitting well, got a couple 8b flashes (in 999999990) that felt very clean. #9b flash is going to happen soon (perhaps when I'm not sore and get my 9th beanbag back).
#bxrbxbth was feeling good, feels like I have all the kinks worked out, and now it's just practise.
#boxes were also good.
Total practice time: 90 minutes
