I’ve been learning to juggle for over a couple of weeks now and I’m having trouble finding the sweet spot in juggling. It’s called the juggle space and I don’t know if there’s any agreement about exactly where it is.
On the other hand, I frequently toss balls too far in front of me or too close to me. I also throw them too high or too low.
The juggling manual I bought with the Learn to Juggle kit says it’s formed by an imaginary pane of glass. The bottom two corners are your two hands at the at your waist and at your sides. The top is a line just above your head.
If you want to know more about the juggling space, you can contact the International Jugglers’ Association.
The secret seems to be in the throw. If I don’t throw that perfect arc, the balls end up on the floor or on my head.
I notice that when I do keep my balls closer to my chest, I can juggle better. Wait, that didn’t sound right.
Anyway, trying to find the “pain” of glass is the challenge for me now. Practice is the key.
