How to Juggle 4 Balls?

Juggling four balls is a great trick. A lot of people don’t know how to juggle four balls, and with this blog post I hope to chance that! J After reading this post you’re going to be one of the few people that know how to juggle four balls. There’s a big difference between juggling with three balls and four balls. Usually in every room of people there are always some that can juggle with three balls, but not many people have taken it to the next step, 4-ball juggling. You’re one of them. All right. Get yourself ready. Have fun. Here we go. Juggling with four balls.

The key difference between three and four-ball juggling is that in a three-ball juggle, the balls cross. You know that, and you can do it. With four balls, the balls don’t cross. With four balls, the balls stay in the same hand. So basically, what you’re going to do, you’re going to juggle with two balls in your right hand, and you’re going to juggle with two balls in your left hand. When you put those two tricks together, you have the juggling of four balls.

There are two different rhythms in which you can juggle with four balls. There’s the synchronized rhythm or the a-synchronized rhythm. The learning curve for four-ball juggling is the same as for three balls. First, we’re going to go for one rotation of the pattern. So in four-ball juggling, we’re going to go for four catches, four throws, and four catches.

Make sure that first of all your body position is good. You stand straight. You have your neck and your shoulders relaxed and your underarms slightly bent. Now, we’re going for four catches. We’re going to throw right, left, right, and left. That’s the a-synchronized rhythm. If you want to start with the synchronized rhythm, all you think to yourself is, “Together, together, catch, catch. Together, together, catch, catch.” After this feels easy to you, and you can do this trick, one rotation of the pattern, in juggler’s terms, this is called The Flash. If you can do The Flash without dropping, you’re ready to move on and make it a little bit more challenging for yourself, taking it to the next level. You go for six throws. After you have mastered the six throws, you go for 8 throws, 10, and then you keep going.

Four-ball juggling has taken me over a month to learn. Three balls took me a week. Four balls, took me over a month. With practice and the video, you will be able to learn it too!
