What do you want for Christmas?

[Wayno]

Some Infinity juggling balls. £15 per ball is steep but I've been a good boy.

What's special about infinity juggling balls?

I want to go "all the gear, no idea" like lots of pretentious people do when they start and give up a hobby really quickly.

Three year warranty, they retain shape really well, machine washable and last years. You can customise the colour, the fill percentage and the contents. The customisation sounds like overkill but it's really not. I had some cheap 8 for £12 bean bags from Amazon that I thought were fine I used for a few months. But I tried some heavier, densely filled ones and my progress with those in 2 hours was exponential in comparison. I could feel progress happening in real-time. I couldn't go back to the others because they are too 'floaty.' I wish I started with these ones. However, I feel progress stalling on the more complex patterns so I need to move on.

The fabric surface gives way more control than hard plastic balls (my LED props look awesome but they're massively unforgiving), and they don't bounce everywhere when you drop them. Flight path is more predictable, which matters when you're working on complex patterns or trying to learn 4-ball/5-ball stuff. It's better to learn with more forgiving props to really drive home the motor patterns as early as possible then do them later on with the more challenging but aesthetically pleasing ones later on.
