Still working🙄  
Been getting a bit better at reverse cascade, but I am practicing lots more repetitions with a regular cascade. It doesn’t exactly seem to help with other tricks, but I think it must be making my catches better, as I can go much longer without drops now.

You know what’s wild is every major college around DC has a juggling club. Within 20 miles of my one YoYo’s club there’s 4 different juggling groups. It’s wild. I should learn to juggle.

Yeah, way more popular. Cheaper too🤣  
I did not find it easy to learn, but it is extremely rewarding.

Y’all have inspired me to dig out my old equipment and get back to juggling! Everything is still in good shape considering its from the mid 1980s…

That’s great! Juggling is good for your brain.  
Those rings look like they could double as some kind of blades in a food processor, but yeah!

Low fast doubles are so cool!  
Dan is great, he has good ball and club vids and tutorials on YouTube.

I’m on the hunt for some affordable, diy or very cheap options for juggling balls, rings, clubs, etc for my YoYo’s club to help branch folks out to other skills.

If anyone has any leads let me know

You are gonna see prices get worse on all that stuff.  
Duncan makes what you mentioned, have you contacted them?  
[Superjuggler.com](http://Superjuggler.com) makes foamies. Gotta admit, when I started with clubs I had Duncan and they hurt my hands so bad I didn’t think I would be able to learn. I got some foamies and my hands thanked me and my downstairs neighbors thanked me, at least they stopped complaining so much. Superjuggler does mention they offer group discounts.

Still working on reverse cascade, about 30 catches is the best I have done, but usually I only get around 20.  
So I started working on under arm throws, I have a long way to go before getting consistent with these, but it’s real fun.

Sometimes you hit yourself in the face with a club, and sometimes you drop one next to a 4 leaf clover. I have done both this week working on chops, I like to mix it up.

Not sure if you are still looking, but Russian balls are cheap and easy to DIY. Buy some ball pit balls, cut a small opening along the seam, use a funnel to fill with a bit of fine sand/salt/millet, then reseal using heat or tape. They might not be the best option for beginners since they move differently than a beanbag would and are harder to hold, but I like them more than beanbags.

So my thumbnail is Krazy Glued back together, and I am trying to be more careful practicing doubles 🤣 This is part of the misery part of clubs, but I have been getting a lot of joy from throwing this summer, I try to practice every day weather allows.
