3 balls, 6 balls, 7 balls, 4 clubs, 1 club balance, 35 minutes

Once again practice session focus was on 6 balls and 4 clubs. Trying to make these solid. Working with Warren Hammond via video progress reports and reviews and did the exercises that he has suggested. Starting to see some real improvement. Just wish shoulders wouldn't get so sore, but, technique is improving so this soreness should hopefully be short lived.

Also worked on club balance with a juggle underneath. Really need to practice this on a daily basis to finally get this trick. I have qualified with balance, but, nothing more. :-(

Total practice time: 35 minutes

numbers, 80 minutes

Numbers balls. Warmed up with 5,6,7 then worked on 8,9,10 and 6 in one hand. Finished with a couple of attempts at flashing 7 ball shower with numbers balls. Wasn't close, but felt good.

8 worked pretty well, synch and asynch. 16 throws once in asynch and a few times in synch. Must keep my hands down...

9 not good. Was better when I focused on making my right hand throws more sideways and powerful, but didn't manage to flash it. First time that's happened in a while.

10 felt good. One very close attempt. Not throwing too high anymore and it feels much more relaxed. Attempted asynch for a few goes at the end. Long way off from that- too wide and my hand speed seems way too slow.

Improvement to 6 in one hand- caught 3 or 4 but made contact with all of the balls.

3 rings, 4 rings, 5 rings, 60 minutes

First club night in Chelmsford after the holidays. Good session with rings- finally nailed a 5 up 360, and pulled off a few new tricks with relative ease: 7531 into 4 up 360, 3 ring 2 stage 720 into pancakes and 3 up 360 into backcrosses seemed appropriate since I did it with clubs earlier- now I've completed the set :)

744 seems to have improved, but still get stuck on the 4th or 5th round.

Backcrosses coming along nicely, feeling less sketchy every time I try it.

5 ring pancakes still seems really hard. Need to focus on avoiding collisions- the first couple are ok, but then they tend to get narrow. Need to get a good rhythm- maybe a little higher. Need more practice time on it per week.

Mucking, 120 minutes

Social juggling, nothing too extreme as I didn't want to damage my elbows more.

Attempted to run some four ball siteswaps during my lunch break. Pleasantly surprised by the progress with 633 and 55514. I will attempt the 741 family in the next session.
