I can juggle 5 balls and get over 100 catches fairly consistently after years of practicing, but a lot of the time, my pattern gets quite messy once I reach this number of throws... I ended up getting better at catching bad throws instead of getting better at making good throws, so I was essentially practicing errors. Just a fore warning to people learning 5 balls: Don't try to throw and catch as many as you can, instead, make fewer throws and make them as clean as you can, and then collect the balls. Then start the pattern again. This way, you will be practicing making good throws and improve much more quickly instead of trying to get as many catches as you can, which will just limit your progress. In summary, practice fewer throws but make them as clean as you can - if the pattern begins to get messy, stop the pattern and start again. Avoid trying to make as many throws as you can until your pattern feels solid and is consistently clean.
My current record is 312, with 100+ consistent, after a couple years practice (I'm in my 40s, so it takes a while to learn). Once you get to higher numbers of catches (50+), fatigue becomes an issue, where it's difficult to make the exact same throws because your arms lose strength. Part of getting to higher numbers was training my brain to increase the force signal it sends to the muscles to get the same throw height, to compensate for fatigue. I think you need to do some higher number training to build up that part of the muscle memory, in addition to consistency training. What helped me break out above 50 catches was to focus on relaxing my arms, so my muscles weren't straining against themselves (I also had to teach myself to breathe and blink in a normal relaxed way!). I'm trying to learn 5 ball tricks now, although trying for a cascade record is addictive... Other suggestions for beginners which the video doesn't mention (which I got from other lesson videos): Practicing 4 ball fountain can help with strength and speed. When learning to flash, practice in front of a bed to reduce gather time. If you can't flash (it took me a week for my first clean flash), focus on getting all the balls out of your hands with consistent timing and height, and don't even try to catch them. They should land with even timing if you've got it right.
@@jasonhoerner9954If you remember how long it took you to get to 100 catches? I have been juggling 5 balls for 2 months and I can qualify, I don't know how fast I need to improve.
3 and 4 balls can be learned within a few weeks, but actually running 5 balls can take some people up to a year to master. So don’t get discouraged. Keep it up! It’s possible 😀
It is easy, everything is hard until you know how to do it and after a short time is engrained in muscle memory, you just have to try and try harder and you will get it down.
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm 15 years old and I managed to juggle 5 balls after practicing 1month! (about 1/2 hour per day and I already could juggle 3 and 4 balls before) The exercises are very well explained and absolutely helpful. To all of you who want to learn it: it's definitely not impossible to learn that. You only need a lot of motivation and a little discipline. 😊🤹♀️
Hey, I don't know if there is a crossing technique but I've always done 2 in each hand where you start the first throw with your dominant hand (left in my case). Just as a side note I actually can do 5 now :)
Instead of going from 4 balls to 5 balls I actually spent a lot of time learning cool tricks for 3 balls. When I decided to try 5, I think the speed and comfort I developed with 3 ball tricks made learning 5 much, much easier. Hope this helps you.
Hi Neils, I started off watching your juggling tutorials about 2 years ago. Now, I have flashed 10 and am working on 6 and 7 clubs and 8 rings. Thank you for the inspiration early on in my juggling progression.
Niels - a 1000 thanks for these great tutorials. I wish I'd had them 45 years ago when my "career" began - mostly hitchhiking up and down the West Coast back in the 70s camping out with other jugglers and planning trips to Golden Gate Park. I'd love to go to a real festival someday. Bravo, bro!
I've tried to figure out how to juggle 4 and 5 balls for years. This video gives a great procedure for learning. I think with its help, I may eventually do it. Thanks Niels!
I'm about 75 catches with 4 balls. Thanks for your tutorials, everything looks mathematically perfect. Really nice steps, but how do I throw balls in slow motion? :D Greetings from Croatia! :)

Wow; this is a lot more straightforward than I thought, and looks like fun. This video is really good and stresses the basics to build a foundation to increase the number of things that you can juggle or just get really good at juggling three objects.
Hey Niels! I just want to say thank you for the inspiration. Not only have you inspired me to juggle, but you have also inspired me to inspire others. Thanks for changing lives! -Noah/TheAmpleGiver
Good video but the secret is that the 5 ball cascade is dramatically more difficult than any 3 or 4 ball pattern. I learned it back when I was 18 and it still took me months of daily practice... but on the bright side, 20 years later I can still pick up 5 balls and flash them, even though I don't find the time for juggling very often anymore
Wonderful video. I just picked up juggling again after a loud 30 years!! It’s been so much fun . I loved this video , you explain it so well. Thank you !
Very good! I like the 4 ball practice shown in this video. I was trying to build up to 5 by using 4, but most videos show 4 without crossing over. this is helpful practice. height is the biggest help with 5.
Took me about an hour a day for TWO YEARS before I was REALLY in control. People commenting on here, how they did 10, 15 or even 20 catches (their BEST result in 1000s of attempts) and think they are juggling 5....well I would argue that you aren't really in control until you can get way past that, FOR ME I didn't feel like I was really doing it until I was routinely gettings runs of 50 and occasionally 100, at which point I REALLY WAS doing it with control and correcting mistakes and making adjustments. Would say I had 700 hours of practice specifically on 5 balls, until I reached this level. My best ever was around a minute or 250 catches. MASSIVE difference between getting 15 or 20 catches on your best effort ever and averaging 50+, BY FAR the most difficult physical skill I have learned in my life. GOOD LUCK to all those on the journey!!!!
I totally agree with you that 20 catches of 5 ball is still a super long way from being comfortable with the pattern. I qualified 5 on my very first day of learning and thought it would come easy. Boy was I wrong. Now I’ve been practicing for little over a year (on and off) and am now barely starting to get 100+ catch runs (most of my runs are still between 60 and 100 catches). Although I’ve had breakthroughs here and there, there was never a point where the pattern just “clicked” and I could run it indefinitely unlike 3 and 4 balls. To this day, I’m continually finding ways to improve my 5b pattern and probably will be for at least the next year or two.
I was watching the how to juggle 4 balls and thought I'd take a look ahead at the 5, just in case I actually get 4. Of course the 5 ball just came up automatically. Trying to expand my movement practice to include greater complexity. This looks pretty complex! But, I sense, your videos here make it as simple as possible and, maybe make it manageable. Although, that's obviously going to depend on how much work I put in. Thank you for the excellent videos. Ironically, the principles are pretty simple, right. And, it looks simple for you. But the learning of it has to recruit so much more of your brain and hand eye coordination. Just like you can explain a few simple concepts in a math problem but then ask a question that is very hard to answer, at least at first but sometimes ever.
I salute you! I think that's a lot of work you put there and it's nice to see you have such wonderful results. Thank you for your nice contribution for this community!
I've been practicing 5 balls for 6 weeks now, it takes a lot of practice, I can rarely get 20 catches! Thank you for helping me on learning how to juggle 5 balls!
When i started learning 3 balls it felt impossible but the brain is very adaptable. Once you learn the pattern you never forget it but i havent managed 4 balls yet switchin hands. Still gets confused throwing all upp in the air but still good tutorial :)
I’ve been a three ball juggler since sixth grade but more than three always looks like someone absolutely scrambling but with perfect precision; hilarious.
Very effective tutorial! With just these exercises I made 16 throws and catches within 2 weeks. I heard people say it takes months to learn 5 balls, so I'm a bit surprised!
After like a couple days of trying, I finally got a 5 ball flash thanks to this video and some other one I saw...kept trying and got it 5 more times same day! I was even able to get 6 catches! Im making progress! ThanksNiels!
Well it’s my 3rd day if practicing 5 balls and yesterday I watched your tutorial! I can now do 30 catches!! I didn’t expect it to be that easy! I m also only 4 years old
You really got me back into juggling and your videos helped me a lot. It only took me half an hour to juggle the four balls and hopefully by the end of this next weekend five
Hello guys, I know at least two methods to do the 4 ball cross. Maybe it's different from what you expect, but it's very effective and looks really good :). One method is called "The half - shower " Unfortunately I noticed that at least 95 % of all jugglers do it wrong and that's too bad. I know the secret how to do it in an astonishing way and suprised even some of the really good jugglers. Another way to do the 4 ball cross is pretending that you are juggling with 5 balls, just with an imaginary "hole". But you do neither learn to juggle with 5 balls neither juggle actively this invisible hole. The secret is a nearly continuous, equal rhythm. It is similar but not the same as one of those training excercises that are shown in this really nice video here. Maybe I will show my method once in one of my own videos....Good luck to you and remember: Juggling is not just about having many balls in the air. I know a quiet different method to do a five ball cross as well. It was fun learning to juggle with five this way....Soon it's christmas time! Here you can see another method how to juggle: ua-cam.com/video/9GBieUdonpo/v-deo.html Greetings!
I imagine you can probably do this 4 years later, but for those reading who may still be confused: in the video he throws right, left, left, right. Or if you’re left-handed: left, right, right, left. Then repeat.
i'm practicing now for 3 or 4 weeks and its getting better. Today was the first time i catched all 5 balls in the right way. It's really hard even if you can juggle 3 balls before. but i will practice more and more, because ist much fun :) maybe some people could write how long they had to practice it. Thanks.
FreyofKtau Well, I started practicing 5 balls today and I catched the 5 balls in the correct way on the sixth try. Probably because I already knew how to 4 ball cross and flash.
I think 7 balls will take more time than even learning to juggle 5 balls well, even though people who are learning 7 balls will have 5 balls mastered so they have experience, just because the accuracy needed to juggle 7 balls is far more strict than the accuracy needed to juggle 5 - The room for error with 5 balls is far greater than 7. 7 balls is my next juggling challenge, together with 5 balls mills mess.
Very challenging. When each exercise clicks it's so worth it. I finally figured out the clapping exercise, for the first time. Time to practice it over and over.
I can do 5 now :D along with a bunch of 4 tricks which these exercises help with a lot! Thank you so much! feels so great to complete this step of the juggling journey -- and it's just begun :)
Awesome! I'm juggling 25 years ...I think I'm ready to try. Just bought the professional balls (white heavy 6 panel) and absolutely love them. Perfect weight and give. Appropriate to buy more or do I want stage balls or something for 5?
Awesome tutorial, thank you! Might I ask what type/brand of balls you like to use? I notice that most professional jugglers seem to use hard balls - the ones I have used for the past few years are soft and filled with some kind of synthetic grain. What is the rationale behind using hard, and not soft balls? Is it just that they are more consistent? I like using the soft ones when practicing a pattern I am not yet familiar with, because the balls don't roll away when I drop them, but do you think it's better to use hard balls all the time? Thanks again for the great videos!
Just FYI and totally off-topic, at 0:40, and again 7 seconds later, there is no word "heighth". Unlike wide->width, or long->length, it goes high->height.
Great tutorial. I learned to do the 5 ball flash in just one day(about an hour of practice). Unfortunately I'm still stuck on the 5 ball flash 4 days later and haven't been able to get more than 5 catches yet. If anyone has suggestions on how to improve it would be greatly appreciated.
My personal best is 500+ catches, and I do 100+ with ease. Getting from a flash to qualify is a big step because collisions becomes even harder to avoid when there are more balls in the air. I recommend training 3- and 4-ball tricks like snake, 552, 3b flash, high 3b cascade (with different dwell-time), 55550, 5551, to name a few. 501 (2b trick) is also helpful. The most important thing is the accuracy, so really focus on *gently* placing each ball onto its desired destination. Catching will pretty much take care of itself when the throws are accurate. Do continue practicing the flash though! You'll get better as long as you practice and the flash is like the most important part of mastering the 5b cascade.
thank you!🙏. 3 and 4 balls still work but with 5 the first three go well (cross) but the 4 and 5 just go back to the same hand 😁😊. how do i unlearn that?
good work Niels! what kind of balls do you advise me to buy ( i can do your 3 balls tricks and cascade 4 balls and 1 catch 5 balls:P thanks to. you ) i think i will buy deluxe balls do you agree ?

Do you do the method where you just juggle 2 in each hand simultaneously or is there a crossing technique possible like 5 and 3 balls for 4 balls?

I know a quiet different method to do a five ball cross as well. It was fun learning to juggle with five this way....Soon it's christmas time! Here you can see another method how to juggle: ua-cam.com/video/9GBieUdonpo/v-deo.html Greetings!
Dinkleberg ! DINKLEBERG!
I imagine you can probably do this 4 years later, but for those reading who may still be confused: in the video he throws right, left, left, right. Or if you’re left-handed: left, right, right, left. Then repeat.
thanks brother, took my juggling to the next level.
You are super good
i'm practicing now for 3 or 4 weeks and its getting better. Today was the first time i catched all 5 balls in the right way.
It's really hard even if you can juggle 3 balls before. but i will practice more and more, because ist much fun :)
maybe some people could write how long they had to practice it. Thanks.
FreyofKtau Well, I started practicing 5 balls today and I catched the 5 balls in the correct way on the sixth try. Probably because I already knew how to 4 ball cross and flash.
I cathes ten balls on yhe second day
Yes, a couple of years of exercising, and you'll be fine) Five balls is a really difficult thing. I wonder how much time it would get for 7 balls )
I think 7 balls will take more time than even learning to juggle 5 balls well, even though people who are learning 7 balls will have 5 balls mastered so they have experience, just because the accuracy needed to juggle 7 balls is far more strict than the accuracy needed to juggle 5 - The room for error with 5 balls is far greater than 7. 7 balls is my next juggling challenge, together with 5 balls mills mess.
Very challenging. When each exercise clicks it's so worth it. I finally figured out the clapping exercise, for the first time. Time to practice it over and over.
I can do 5 now :D
along with a bunch of 4 tricks which these exercises help with a lot!
Thank you so much! feels so great to complete this step of the juggling journey -- and it's just begun :)
"And that's it"
Yeah i can't even do 3.they go in all direction 🤣
I learned to juggle 3 fairly fast, and now I am on my way of juggling 4.. I think 5 will require some serious training
I know that the record for three ball juggling is around 12 + hours, how good is one minute?
Your hands are working like machine & you are even not looking one side of your catch and throw. Great!
Thanks!!
what kind of ball do you use?
Juggling Balls
Those look like standard stage balls. I.e. Nothing inside them, firm shell.
Awesome! I'm juggling 25 years ...I think I'm ready to try. Just bought the professional balls (white heavy 6 panel) and absolutely love them. Perfect weight and give. Appropriate to buy more or do I want stage balls or something for 5?
Awesome tutorial, thank you!
Might I ask what type/brand of balls you like to use? I notice that most professional jugglers seem to use hard balls - the ones I have used for the past few years are soft and filled with some kind of synthetic grain.
What is the rationale behind using hard, and not soft balls? Is it just that they are more consistent?
I like using the soft ones when practicing a pattern I am not yet familiar with, because the balls don't roll away when I drop them, but do you think it's better to use hard balls all the time?
Thanks again for the great videos!
Where did you get your juggling balls Niels Duinker
Got my first 5 ball flash 12/12/2018
How many throws can you do now?
What juggling balls do you use
Wow! That looks awesome! Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks!
I can juggle 3 balls alright, but 5 balls... that's an entirely different ball game. (pun intended)
Why cant i do it
Just FYI and totally off-topic, at 0:40, and again 7 seconds later, there is no word "heighth". Unlike wide->width, or long->length, it goes high->height.
Awesome talent.
+ura239 Thanks This is another 5 ball tutorial ua-cam.com/video/he3pUZ0N-hY/v-deo.html
Excellent tutorial! excellent breakdown.
thanks im almost there just getting down the fine points of keeping it going, awesome tutorial
Really nicely done tutorial - Highly recommended.
Great tutorial. I learned to do the 5 ball flash in just one day(about an hour of practice). Unfortunately I'm still stuck on the 5 ball flash 4 days later and haven't been able to get more than 5 catches yet. If anyone has suggestions on how to improve it would be greatly appreciated.
My personal best is 500+ catches, and I do 100+ with ease. Getting from a flash to qualify is a big step because collisions becomes even harder to avoid when there are more balls in the air.
I recommend training 3- and 4-ball tricks like snake, 552, 3b flash, high 3b cascade (with different dwell-time), 55550, 5551, to name a few. 501 (2b trick) is also helpful.
The most important thing is the accuracy, so really focus on *gently* placing each ball onto its desired destination. Catching will pretty much take care of itself when the throws are accurate. Do continue practicing the flash though! You'll get better as long as you practice and the flash is like the most important part of mastering the 5b cascade.
Thanks
I hope you finally improve your 5 balks
thank you!🙏. 3 and 4 balls still work but with 5 the first three go well (cross) but the 4 and 5 just go back to the same hand 😁😊. how do i unlearn that?
i had the same
Thanks for this staff. I can juggle with 5 balls but i can't do this clearly as you. I want to improve my juggling but i don't know how

Don't forget people, "Training Two Sides"

good work Niels! what kind of balls do you advise me to buy ( i can do your 3 balls tricks and cascade 4 balls and 1 catch 5 balls:P thanks to. you ) i think i will buy deluxe balls do you agree ?
where do you get your balls. and what material are they
that's the same question I get from all the girls during a date.
I texted my dad under the table during my date, 65% normadic steel and 35% finely engineered German titanium alloy!
Bernand B lolllllll
