It worked great compared to the tennis ball I started with. I am currently waiting for my 100mm to get in but 75mm was the perfect place to start. I suggest starting there too for two reasons, acrylics are vwwey exemsive and 75mm are about half the price of a100 and two, it was almost perfect but I started to like body rolls I got a 75mm acrylic and I’m 15.

There are tonnes of sites advertising contact balls, but the sizes aren't matching up to 100mm and 260g. all the balls of 100mm are much heavier (530-640g). Not to mention more expensive. some help? I’m confused!

Have since moved up to 3" acrylics. If your having problems with the pool balls, Shukaido, I'd do a gradual move up to the 2.5 balls for spinning, and 2.75-3.0 for single ball manipulation. I think billiards are around the 2.25" range, and jumping from that to 3" balls is painful! I’ve been contact juggling since around ‘91, and I started with cue balls.

And want to move to an "actual" ball. The reason I'm commenting at all is because I actually have quite small hands. A 4 ball tower with pool balls is hard to keep stable in my hand. What would be a recommendation? I'm looking at 2.5-2.75 in. acrylic balls. I'm tempted to get a 3" ball, but I'm worried that it may actually be too big for me to control with my small hands. I'd also like to start learn some multi-ball work. Price is also a factor, the 2.75" are significantly less expensive, and I'd like to get a set of 3-4. Does this sound reasonable?

I wish I had read this site before I had ordered. Well, my ball hasn't come yet but I was wondering if someone could tell me if it's good or not for a newbie. It's a 70mm, weighing 221 grams, and I think it's an acrylic. Thanks fro any and all help. Hey all,

We don't know anyone who likes using them. We'd agree, in our experience HOP is a good site and good online store.
