US Games 3" Juggling Ball (3-Pack)

I'm a beginner. These balls are solid, but not heavy. They land on my palms with a satisfying thwock. They don't bounce much, and they don't roll much, so drops aren't a big annoyance. One caveat: they may be too large for folks with small hands.

I love These juggling balls because Because unlike the More expensive stitched ones they are perfectly round And roll perfectly off your fingertips. Have a great feel. I purchased numerous pairs as gifts for friends.

I've been juggling and going to juggling conventions for nearly 30 years. I usually buy name brand professional gear (dube) and I favor the "bean bag" style balls that are filled with millet seed. I was ready to try something new, replace some of my aging juggling equipment, without breaking the bank. This set is more firm, but gives when squeezed, and reminds me of what a stage juggling ball looks and feels like. It's some type of plastic or rubber, and has a matte finish. It is grippy, not slippery. The size is ideal for the average adult palm size (2.5" is a standard juggling ball size). The weight is nice... light, but heavy enough to land in your hand and not bounce off like a tennis ball might. I like that these, unlike the bean bag style, could be washed. I also love the 3 colors... it's visually fun for me, but also it's great for beginners because you can differentiate between the various balls as you learn a standard cascade and then get into other juggling patterns.If you're worried about the balls getting away from you as you learn to juggle, maybe go with a hacky-sack style ball so they thud and stay put exactly where dropped. But if you can get over that these balls will roll away from you a bit, try them out. Juggling is a workout anyway, what's a few extra steps??!!THIS IS A FANTASTIC VALUE. THESE ARE A GREAT OPTION FOR BEGINNERS. I highly recommend these. I myself will probably purchase a couple more sets.

The add states that these balls are 3 inches, but they are actually 2.75 inches. I needed the larger size.

I like that these balls are different colors. If you are looking for more solid, harder, bouncier balls, this is what you want for your first set or juggling balls.However, I would recommend that you learn to juggle with more bean-bag type balls, as they don’t bounce off of each other mid-air (can be super frustrating) or roll away.These balls are great for the price, just make sure that they are what you’re looking for!

I ordered a set of these about a year ago when I first started learning to juggle. At first, they were too bouncy and ended up not being a great set to start with. Six months ago I altered these and now they are one of my everyday sets. I drilled a small hole in each ball, filled with sand to approx. 100 grams, used color coordinated hot glue to fill the hole and now I have my own, homemade "Russian" filled juggling balls. They have a very slight wobble but are nice. I still have a set of unchanged balls which are more fun now that my skill has improved. As a side note, these balls are NOT 3 inches diameter, they are 2.5 inches. I will be buying more and I think that they are a great set of juggling balls, altered or as is.

I tried learning to juggling with these. I'm a beginner juggler, and can't really judge what's helpful or not, but my partner (who juggles) laughed when he tried juggling with them -- said they were big and light and somewhat difficult, and recommended that I try learning with the beanbag balls. So that's fine -- may not be a pick for the very beginner juggler.But much more disconcerting: I swear that these balls weigh different amounts. I thought I was losing it because they seemed so different when apparently they are identical -- but, again, partner confirmed that he too thought they are DEFINITELY not all alike. And not just a little bit. Like when trying to juggle them, you could really tell.I wish I had been able to return these within the window. I did buy a different set of juggling balls. It seemed like juggling balls would be a straightforward purchase, but nope - this was a confusing experience that slightly messed with my head, lol. Not sure if I just got a lemon set, but would not recommend.

If you are looking for beginner to intermediate juggling balls, BUY THESE! You are probably seeing that your only amazon prime options are these or the beanbag ones with only 3 star reviews. I have owned the 4 color stitched bean filled ones and let me tell you these are way better. They don't stink super bad (like Schylling ones do), they don't make your hands feel oily (like the Schylling ones) and they wont bust open after a few drops (a la the shylling balls once again).They are a great size for anyone 8 or older and shorter then ~ 6 ft 4 inch. The balls themselves are slightly squishy and feel kind of rubbery which gives them decent grip for juggling. They bounce a little bit, but not much. I am buying another set of 3 because at only 2 dollars and 60 cents a ball, they are so much less then professional balls which can run 10-15 dollars a ball.I would highly recommend these to anyone who want's to juggle. They came by themselves in a plastic bag with no packaging and little pamphlet on how to juggle a typical 3 ball cascade. If you are still learning however, I would ditch the pamphlet and look up tutorials online - you will find them much more helpful.My ONE CON about these balls, is that they only come in three colors. I'm buying three more, and would like them if they could be blue/orange or something, but other then that these are really top notch.
