3 club backcrossesSteven Ragatz - 30th October, 2001. In many respects, single backcrosses, under the arm, alberts and treblas are
functionally equivalent. Working on all of them will transfer to each
other.
Backcrosses with more than one spin come up the middle of the back, but single spins can be done with the clubs either coming over the shoulder, like multiple spin backcrosses, or out to the side. If you are trying to balance something, or bounce a ball on your head, then over the shoulder is the choice. If you want to do the throws to the side, you have to flip your head back and forth to see the sideways throws. Over the shoulder is slower, to the side is faster. Keep your posture up, trying not to lean into the trick. Watch the pattern with your head, not your chest. Break it down. Work with one club and establish the technique. Then work with two. Then do a single throw out of a cascade. Etc., etc., etc. Don't let the hands cross behind the back. For club backcrosses, use the club! Let it do the work. If viewed from the front, your hands should be visible the entire time. Choke down on the handle, down by the knob, so that the bell of the club goes to the middle of the back. You don't want to wrap your entire arm around because it means you have to carry it further to get back into position for the next throw. view in thread mode or date mode post a new message29th Mar 2006 I have been juggling for about... I have been juggling for about a year, I can do a ton of different paterns, eat an apple, and throw a ball under my leg. I am trying to learn behind the back but I have a problem, if I look at the ball comming over my sholder I usually miss the ball coming to my other hand, and if I look at the ball comming to my other hand I miss the ball comming over my sholder, got any sugestions, I would appreciat the help. 9th Dec 2006 Re: I have been juggling for about... Dont watch it come over your shoulder. Keep facing forward and throw the ball higher and let the ball come into where you are looking. My 3 ball backcrosses are fairly high (about the height of my 5 ball cascade). When im running backcrosses with balls my head doesnt really move - unless i make a really bad throw. 6th Dec 2006 Re: I have been juggling for about... Practice your ass off. From where you say you are to running 50 catches of backcrosses cleanly and consistently takes about 12 to 18 months. 14th Nov 2005 I would recommend what Steve R... I would recommend what Steve Ragatz calles "to the side" backcrosses. That way the doubles pattern is different. Throw the clubs farther out to the side, switch your head (not too much), and then to take it up into doubles, just throw higher and tip your head back to watch the throws. |
