Beginning Selfs - Juggling 3 Clubs

Caveat: It's really difficult to describe/explain the differences between the relaxed throw of a practiced juggler and that of a beginner or often of an intermediate juggler. Also, pointing out the obvious differences in stance very often turns out not so useful, because it cant be translated into something better - and focusing on the stance and style takes away attention from the actual throw. Additionally, there is more than one style of juggling and more than a single way that "feels right".

Still, a couple of remarks:

• the motion of the throw happens mostly (over 80%) from the elbow.
• throws made from the shoulder become imprecise, underspun and too high - try to keep your elbow to your side and dont move it in front of your body
• specially take care that you don't rise your shoulders as a stress reaction, this only cramps you up
• throws more/mostly from the wrist usually "work", but are not so good for the wrists.
• very often, people don't pull the club down far enough. This shortens the way during which you carry the club. A short acceleration way makes for more imprecise throws

There is a tutorial video from Taylor on youtube that you might want to watch.

• she advises more use of the wrist than I would
• usually you would grip more in the middle of the handle than she advised here - that is also why the circus grip for starting is "so uncomfortable" for her - can't use circus grip when your hands arent on the handle but on the body of the club
