I’m only a dabbler, so I haven’t used many different types of props, but I can wholeheartedly recommend the balls made by Sport Juggling Company. Mine feel great in the hand and still look brand new, despite thousands of drops.

I am a recovering juggler :wink:

In my old juggling club (the “Several San Diegans Who Juggle Juggling Club”) Our standard beginner juggling balls were 3 old tennis balls. Carefully slice them open for about an inch or more on the seam with a razor knife. Fill them with popcorn or rice, and glue them back together with rubber cement. They have a good weight and they won’t bounce away when you drop them.

Make some Russian balls. Or buy some. They are great for beginners.
