Sorry this is my second thread in 24 hours, but I have a question. Can I bounce juggle with tennis balls? I currently use hackey sacks to juggle, and they work really well. Of course, they don't bounce, so I use tennis balls for bounce juggling. I learned 3 ball force bounce, but is it possible to do 4+ balls force bounce with tennis balls? The reason I say force bounce is because they do not bounce high enough for lift bounce.

Your final sentence answers your own question.

Anything is possible if you try hard enough!

(except for 16 ball juggling... Lets not lie to ourselves)

You can bounce juggle with tennis balls in the same way that you can juggle with haggises, both are possible but they are essentially curiosities :-

It's actually pretty good that you have learned to force bounce with tennis balls. Now get yourself something better and it'll all seem so much easier and you will open up a vast range of other stuff which is pretty much impossible with tennis balls.

If you can afford them get some silicone bounce balls. If. They're bloody expensive.

If you can't afford sillies then try some of the mid-range substitutes made with non-silicone compounds such as Oddballs Hi-Bounce or the ones from Play.

And if that's still too much then use what the pros did waaaay back in the day and get yourself a set of lacrosse balls.

Whichever you choose, try to find a hard, solid, and most importantly glassy flat surface to play on.

Good luck!

I second the lacrosse balls. Silicones are clearly better but the price is just ridiculous.
