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.

This is reason enough.

Yeah fair they sound like a bit of a game changer. It's easy to not consider that the most minor aspect of something like a juggling ball makes all the difference when you're using them so repetitively. I got stuck at this new sort of vendors market building that's opened in my hometown yesterday deciding which baoding balls to get my girlfriend for Christmas. I was reading loads about weight, material, and size. It got a bit silly how long I was stood there trying the different kinds trying to think which would be best. In the end I didn't even get the ones I concluded may be best for her as they had stuck barcode stickers directly on to them which were leaving thick sticker residue on the wood when I looked underneath and I thought that would just be too annoying on something like that.

Infinity juggling balls? What the fuck is this? Thanos' Christmas list?

Am I right

alternatively;

Lots of ball talk in here. Very heterosexual????

I don't know what you're talking about. This is the most homosexual chat I've seen on a Metal Gear Forum since I left Dead Cell on MGSF.

Yet again the mod favouritism is ever present. Where are Intandem and WTD when you need a coup?

Probably apending all their time on Twitter saying how Andrew Tate didn't lose and it's a Matrix psyop.

Nate's post mentioned Dead Cell while yours mentioned heterosexuals. I wear my bias on my sleeve.

Fucking insane how accurate this is tbh. All I want for Christmas is an end to this clown world (and for more Right Wing influencers to get into the boxing ring with professional fighters).
