Schylling Mini Juggling Balls

I'm a little surprised at the negative reviews. Maybe I just got lucky because I don't have any of the problem listed here, such as unequally sized balls or poor quality. I've had these balls for 3 months and they still work fine. I'm probably the biggest klutz out there and I was able to learn how to juggle 3 balls in a little less than 3 months, just practicing a little bit every day. That said, I didn't find the included paper slip on how to juggle very helpful. The most helpful guides I found were on YouTube. If you're similarly clueless at most physical activities and just want to learn how to juggle, I can promise you that anyone can learn provided they put in enough practice. I don't have much else to say about these balls, so I'll write a few tips below that I've gathered myself from learning how to juggle. Don't worry, they are idiotproof, otherwise I wouldn't have learned how to juggle. 1. Juggling is about throwing, not catching. The key is to be able to consistently throw balls so that you can catch them with the minimal amount of effort. 2. Start with 1 ball in your hand, with your hands at your sides, and throw the ball to the other hand in an arc that peaks at about your eye level. Repeat back and forth until you get the gist of it. Try to throw such that your hands basically don't have to move. 3. Move on to 2 balls holding 1 in each hand. Throw one ball as before, and at the latest possible moment, throw the other ball. You end up doing throw, throw, catch, catch. The key is to throw the second ball as late as possible so you give yourself the maximum amount of time to react. 4. Once you get 2 balls down, move on to 3 balls. Now, if you think about it, juggling with 3 balls is actually the same as juggling with 2 balls, except you just always have a ball in the air so you don't stop. Start with the hand that has 2 balls, and just do the same thing you did with 2 balls, i.e. throwing a ball to catch another one. Try doing 3 throws and 3 catches. Once you have that down, do 4, then 5, then 6, and so on until you are juggling. Again, the key is to throw the balls as late as possible to give yourself the maximum possible time. Have fun!

So I'm a beginner in juggling and these are perfect! They're neither too heavy nor too light and they have a really good grasp to them. It won't fall down or slip away or anything when you catch it because of the good material, which is why I recommend them. However, they all are not the same size/weight. They are visibly slightly different sizes from each other; but for me, that did NOT affect the juggling. So if you're worried about that, don't be. And as for the odor, yeah it does smell when you put the ball close to your nose and sniff it, but there is no noticeable smell besides that. There might be an odor on your hands after using it, so just wash your hands afterwards. Ultimately, I think these are excellent for a beginner juggler. They are durable with a great grasp and a good buy.

I'm an average sized guy who wanted to practice my juggling inside in the winter (I'm taking a juggling/circus arts class). I thought these smaller balls would be easier. I bet this would be perfect for someone with small hands -- which is probably the intent. For me, they're so small I have a harder time catching them than I do with normal sized things like tennis balls. Unless you're buying for a kid, I'd recommend getting the full size balls. I've put a few hours of tossing and dropping into these and they are no worse for wear.

If I could give them less than 1 star, I would. They seem to be a nice weight, and (fairly) good quality for being sub-$10, but my main complaint is the same as that of many other people - namely that these balls have an unbearable odor. It smells almost like the burnt paper, and I noticed it as soon as I opened the clear tube they came in. I'd consider returning them, but for $6, it's not even really worth it. I'm going to smother them in some air freshener and hope that they smell slightly less, but I don't have particularly high hopes.

These juggling balls are a good size for small or adult hands. They are pretty firm but the seams are a little weak and I'm pretty sure the stuffing is going to fall out sooner rather than later. So - ok as a toy but don't expect to hold onto them for long.

I was looking for something on Amazon that could be used to help 6-8 year old kids with catching a baseball. The little guys have a tendency to keep their fingers out. The ball ends up hitting the heel of their glove and hitting them in the face. I found these juggling balls on Amazon and thought they would be a great fit in a "fingers up" drill". They are a tad larger when compared to a hacky sack & seem to be easier to catch (hence the juggling aid). I tested these out in the "fingers up" drill (no glove). They are a great option to help the kids with looking the ball in. I also used them to start with easy pop files. The product is sturdy and well made. I see no reason these shouldn't last for years! On a side note, I bought a 2nd set, and might have to try to improve on my juggling skills. In a few of the reviews I've seen comments about a smell. I do think that can happen on cheaper plastics from China. I bought 2 sets and there are no issues with smell whatsoever.

This is a good starter set for someone that wants to learn to juggle. There are a couple draw backs even for starters. First of all, these are not sewn correctly, so rather than being circular, they are more oval in shape which makes them tricky to juggle with. Second of all, I'm not sure what they stuff these with, but they have a strong smell of grass or hay that is not that appealing. I've bought some cheap juggling balls before, but these are the cheapest quality of the cheap. If you are looking for actual juggling balls, look up juggling beanbags. My favorites are the Fusion Bean Bags. Remember that the best juggling balls are sold individually, not as sets of 3.

Bought it as a gift for a friend, she loved it.

Son bastante buenas para el precio, son un poco sencillas y ligeras, pero en general por el precio son muy buenas.

La verdad bien precio pero muy regular la calidad. Una ya se está descosiendo 😧

Kinda cheap and a little light, but gets the job done.

Great little juggling balls except that the smell is absolutely terrible. Smells toxic. My son probably won't use them just because of the smell. We've tried washing them and leaving them outside for long periods of time to no avail.
