- I stayed at that state for more than four years. Of course, during that time I
- did not practice regularly.

- For me, I believe it was two things that helped. First, I started practicing
- regularly. About a half an hour a day. Second, I paid heed to the advice of a
- friend of mine. Start attempting seven. It firms up your five really fast.

- You wish to be a snob of the juggling world? I never really considered the
- question, but from what I've seen of jugglers, you have to be relatively
- dedicated to learn five (except for a few exceptionally dexterous people).

- Yuck. Get some real balls of uniform weight, or better yet, bags are easier to
- hold a bunch in your hand. Just make sure the weight is uniform. Actually, if
- you're really that poor, use modified tennis balls (either cut them open and
- fill then with your filling of choice or inject them with water). Again, make
- sure the weight is the same.
-
- Also, you might want to download the compiled tips from the ftp site.
