Learning to Juggle – Step 2
You now know how to throw a ball from your strong hand to your weak hand. Now you need to learn to do it the other way around. If you’re just learning, it may not be as easy as it sounds.
Start out with the ball in your strong hand and throw your now-perfect throw to your weak hand. Then immediately throw it back to your strong hand. Remember that you should keep your throw at about eye height and you shouldn’t have to move the hand that is catching the ball more than a few inches. It is imperative that you get this move down because everything you build on from this point on will depend on a good throw.
I think most people end up quitting their juggling learning process at this point because they can’t make a good throw. You’re basically playing catch with yourself but you need to have near-perfect throws each time. The reason I am adding this as a separate step is because of the importance of it. You should be able to do this 100 times in a row without moving your hands more than a few inches or dropping the ball.
