Throwing Technique, 5ballPREP, 5 balls, 75 minutes

Throwing technique? hah. No. How about the 5b cascade flash? Yep. That's the highlight of my session today. I have a video of the practice, and when i get around to it, i'll post it on youtube and give you guys a link. :P

After watching a video of myself juggling the 5b cascade from a couple of weeks ago, I was inspired to practice the way I had been before. I was impressed with how good my pattern looked. Screw throwing technique. Honestly, has anyone ever improved from tossing just a ball from hand to hand, making perfect throws? Just curious. I can't stand doing that..or anything easy with perfect form.

I really need to keep better track of the time I spend practicing. I usually go with the minimum ammount of time I think i spent practicing just to be safe.

I can't english today. Ugh. >_>

Instead of throwing technique, I practiced the stuff I normally do (not all of it) and I focused on one thing i wanted to improve at a time. Like, for the 552, I focused on the rhythm and the throws, making sure each throw was done the same exact way. But that doesn't mean i let myself be sloppy with everything else, it means that I put most of my focus on that one thing, while still trying to make sure the throws and everything are good.

One more thing! In my 5b juggling video I noticed that my right shoulder was moving up and down while my left was still and relaxed. Wha daa craaaeep! Why..WHY..I'm gonna see to that tomorrow. It isn't too bad, but it's noticeable..for me atleast.

Total practice time: 75 minutes

GumybolzZ - And no, i wasn't being insane, practicing throwing one ball in hopes that my 5ball cascade would become solid. It was a warm up, i spent a little bit extra time on it, and I hated it.
GumybolzZ - I'm just saying that practicing/warming up easy stuff, with unrealistic expectations (perfection) drives me nuts. And...NO MORE of that!
7b_wizard - I casually do wide (60-70 cm) straight ones, hoping to get them with outstretched arms one day .. and checking beats for a flash .. else NOT.
7b_wizard - I did it as a beginner, though, to check time + weight + height for different balls. And do it now with one club to get the spins `naturalĀ“(-ly landing).
GumybolzZ - are you referring to the distance between both hands?
7b_wizard - yupp.
