I juggle 3 ball. But I'm not precise. My balls go all over the place. How I can improve that? Besides practice off course.

[@mohamedredaboulezaz6498]

Thanks you are the best😍

[@MarkARebuck]

when i was learning five, the thing that helped the most was forcing myself to start with three in my non-dominant hand. doing so highlighted an imbalance and forced me to correct. still took a long time to learn though. took a month to qualify (10 catches) and over a year to get to 100 catches. five is hard but a wonderful challenge!

[@dejanjovanovic2298]

I am learning 5 now. i am right handed, but in different paterns different hand is my dominant. I noticed some problems with my right hand in some 4 ball paterns, I can't juggle 5 yet, but i can trow and catch all five and stop. i don't know which hand is my dominant. When i start with 3 balls in my right, timing is better, but throw line is not correct. When i start with three balls in my left, throws are good, but i often miss timing, throw too fast, or throw two balls at once sometimes. but i am near to fix that.... This is good video, becouse some 4 ball paterns demand more speed than 5 ball cascade. It does not mean 5 ball cascade is easier. Speed is not as important in juggling. Main thing is timing and good throws

[@senek4663]

@@dejanjovanovic2298the challenge of this year for me

[@Efficiencyts]

Interesting. I find my non-dominant hand is lacking a bit in the consistency and height of my throws, causing an inbalance in time. Maybe I'll try what you said. Recently I went from juggling exclusively 3-ball cascade to a 5 ball flash in one day (though the flash was nowhere near consistent), and on my fourth day I've now gotten 3-5 qualifying juggles with a high of 15 catches. Still working on it!

you know, I've been juggling 3 and 4 for over 25 years now and never could get 5 until i came across this. Thanks for the help

[@evanfabri7297]

It was your metaphor "hitting the spots" that made a KEY difference for me. To conceptualize each throw as hitting a target felt like skipping a grade. Thanks for your contribution!

[@TaylorTries]

So happy that helped! That’s how I tend to see a lot of juggling patterns ☺️

[@AlCoates27]

I tried to learn 5 from books in '93, never got too far and now having watched this I can see some really helpful tips. I've just picked my juggling balls up again after 25+ years as a way of keeping flexible and building upper body strength and seeing this has made me think may be I can do 5! many thanks, great vid.

[@BozoTheBear]

Thanks for this. I taught myself to juggle 3 and 4 back in school, and have never been able to get the hang of 5 - somehow, today was the first time in 25 years I thought of actually looking for a video. I'm very glad I found yours, as your instructions seem very helpful - I'll put in some effort, so thanks in advance!

[@johnkenealy9329]

Taylor...I have taught juggling to middle and high school kids for 30 years as part of my Physical Education curriculum (just a mediocre juggler myself but it is a great PE class activity!). Currently teaching at an international school in Cambodia where I am following up the introduction I gave last month in class with online HBL instruction. I just want to say thank you for your excellent videos. You are a great teacher and a great resource!

[@brickmastertube]

You have opened my eyes with the 552. Thank you. I love you.

[@maiL1984]

One of the best 5 ball juggling tutorials I've seen. Great effort Taylor in producing a good video! Thanks I think this will help me in my mission to nail 5 balls!

[@christopherbarker3543]

You have mastered the art of communication. You could literally teach anything and would have the audience's attention. So looking forward to my journey of 5.

[@jeremiahnelson6577]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been able to do 3 balls since I was a kid (46 years old now) but your in depth instructions have been so helpful! I’m almost stable at 4 balls but 5 will be my next challenge. I was in a head on car wreck and broke my neck and I’ve lost a bit of coordination and this has really helped me out. I’m not going back to work until I get 5 balls so I better get practicing… lol

[@peternemedi4771]

I did 4 hours of practicing every day and I got 40 caches in 5 days with these exercises. Thanks a lot!

[@ts214121]

Wow. My best was 30 catches in many months, maybe a year. I wonder if some talent is required to get this super solid. I have a friend whose record is 7 minutes.

Thanks for taking the time and energy to make this video. I love the “build up” exercises. You’re an excellent teacher! ✌️

[@MarkARebuck]

one other tip: video yourself! the first time i recorded my five ball practice, i instantly noticed a few problem that were not at all obvious before. the camera is a great critic of your technique!

[@kaileymac97]

Mark Rebuck I hear that! Didn’t notice how off my fourth throw was until I recorded myself

[@arronfowler2338]

Just wanted to send a huge 'Thank You' - you're videos have helped improve my juggling so much. I'm no expert, but in the past two years have gotten to a point where I can do a lot of 3 ball tricks like box, shower, and mills mess. Learnt chops with clubs and have a fair few 4 ball tricks down. Attempting 5 balls at the moment, and my record is around 40 catches, but can't do it with consistency. Trying to stick with the 15 mins everyday and hoping I will eventually get to 50 every time. Thanks so much for the content. You bring so much happiness into my life.

[@christofferbjornram63]

I've never really been interested in learning 5 balls, but this made me more curious to try it out than ever before. Thank you!

[@purrformance]

For those who want to know how long it takes to do it fluently (about 50 catches), to get the 4 ball practices down at least for me about 2 weeks to get them. After 2-3 weeks I got 5 ball flash. After that it will seem hard to notice improvement at first. After about 6 weeks (from start) I got anywhere from 12-15 catches at most. Another month and I got to 25. Then I got to 50 about 5 months after that.(But I was practicing on and off, school/vacations, etc.) So from my experience, you have to absolutely want it and be dedicated because it does take time and you may want to give up sometimes. But once you learn that rythm, that feeling of it, you will never forget it.

[@Aaron-kr5vg]

Same here! I’ve been practicing 5 balls on and off for almost 5 months as well. Got my flash and qualify on the very first day but it took me a month to consistently qualify and get to 20 catches, then another month to push that to 30, then 3 more months to get to 50. Now I sit in the 30-60 catch range but I’m practicing more consistently now and aiming to get 100 catches soon. It’s such a frustrating, nonlinear learning experience. They really weren’t lying when they said you have to fight for every little bit of progress for 5 balls. But that makes breaking through and improving feel that much better!

[@KingJrBG]

Actually, throw accuracy in 5 balls can be forgotten (at least for myself, I used to do 40-50 catches 5 years ago). Started juggling again and my pattern usually starts to fall apart after 10-15 catches.

[@ozarkarts]

You are just an EXCELLENT instructor! Thank you so much!

[@stephen25uk]

Getting started on 5 now Taylor and this is the best tutorial so far. I agree some of the practice patterns recommended on other videos look harder than the 5 ball cascade.

Taught myself pre-internet pre-KZbin as a teenager. This is fantastic. Great job and thank you 👍👍👍

[@brucecrane9605]

I know I'm not ready for 5b yet, but this video was really exciting. I can't wait to start on some of the exercises leading to 5b. Your 4b Fountain tutorial has allowed me to make lots of progress with that pattern so I can't wait to get started on 5b. I haven't skipped the 3b patterns , I've learned many of them.

[@olesch3132]

What a great tutorial. Awesome Exercises! I went from inconsisitent flashing 5 balls (once or twice 6 catches) with no clue of what was going on (was stuck there for quite some time) to somewhat consistent 8 catches in less than two days. And now that I've made some progress, I have waaayy more motivation to actually practice for 5 ball juggling.

Excellent Taylor! Perfect video. I just release them differently (2,1,3) I find it easier to release #2 first especially when working on higher numbers but I think most release like you show. I also gather them the same as I release them. Great video! I wish I had this 44 years ago when I was learning it!! Lol!

[@TaylorTries]

Whoa! Fascinating that you release them that way! I think most people do it the same way I do, but I bet more people do it your way than I think. Let's juggle soon!

[@ravi12346]

I was about to make the same comment. I do the same as you, Rick.

[@RickBright]

It has always seemed more natural. Strangely, I catch in the order Taylor does! I made a mistake above when I said I catch them the same as I release them. I had to go try to see. But when trying to release 4 or 5 from one hand, I find it easier to release them in the way I described.
