Back in April I saw a group of people in Seattle doing some very fancy contact juggling, but of corse, I was in such awe that I completely blanked and forgot to ask them what thay were using! I also live in Canada, a tad far from Europe, and I have also only had a few feeble (and failed) attempts at this new found love of mine. I’m wondering if it is even worth getting these balls if it’s going to take me forever to learn everything… Now I am no stranger to devoting time and energy to an activity, don’t get me wrong. I’ve been in martial arts for five years solid, three more unofficially, and I have been practicing various styles of Poi for quite some time now. But as we all know, money is hard to come by, so I would like to know the best way to determine if this activity is right for me before actually spending the money on it.

Thanks for your time!

Hi there,

I’m thinking about starting to learn contact juggling.
So I guess I have to start with a 100mm ball, but I don’t know where to but any. I live in the Netherlands and the only contact balls I can find are 75mm or less.
Can you help me? =)

Hello guys.
I recently acquired three babache moon 80 (glow in the dark) balls. I put them in a black plastic bag and, much to my dismay, when I pulled them out they had some horrible spots, probably because some black paint stuck to them.
Has anything like this happened to anyone?
Do you know how I can get rid of the spots?

Yea Ted, try using it for a few days. Some types of new balls are ultra tacky at first, but mellow out after a couple of days use.

I’ve actually bought one of the contact balls from Oddballs, and I’m a bit annoyed at it.

See, the ball is sticky, like you said. But I didn’t expect it to be as sticky as it is. It’s currently sitting on my table, covered in cat hair and clothing fibers.

Is there some way to make it not so prone to pick up everything on the ground where I drop it? The ball only arrived today, do I need to give it some time to de-stick-i-fy?

I ordered from firetoys.co.uk, and they showed up in 7 days to San Francisco, CA, USA. Shipping was a touch painful ($32 for four balls), but I really like they way they feel. (after five minutes

And how about that review of the mystery ball number 3? We’re waiting.

I hope it’s something we can get in the USA for a change!

Has anyone found someone that carries the contact balls over here yet?

And it seems that “RG balls” is a generic term, is there a particular brand you like? After all Dube is not the same as Babache, do RG balls vary as well?
