7 balls, 5 balls, 3 heavy balls, 7 balls splits, #nature, #technique, #endupatt, #mentec, 270 minutes

3b freestyle, misc - 35 min.   5b casc varied - 30 min.   Endure 5- with partly 7-high; 7-high: 237 catches (pretty good, rare); 9-high: bad could no way confirm yesterday's twice 56 throws, got max ~25 only.   Some "fastest", max 19(?)-21(?) throws.   Some "very loose flapping wrists".   7b casc - 100 min.   A good lot good low (but not long), partly swift runs again.   Counted 37, 41, 45 throws + one pretty long alike not counted.   Another unusual pretty much narrow and (/but) way too high run (easy for accurracy, good shape to handle, but too much consuming to hold long).

7b casc - 100 min.   One-two runs "felt like Five".   Two more runs ~40 throws.   All in all (both units) way too much effort, forcing, keeping too high patterns up. There is this really easy technique snapping the balls up from unleashed wrists like that kid's conic plastic-basket with a pingpong ball on its ground snapped up by a snap released .. that's a bit how it should feel.   Found a new way of aiming in that mode (the short phase that I `had´ it): you thrust the ball precisely into the wanted direction like along a vector drawn from it (with focus like on the actual position of the hand with ball, i guess also in relation to what's in the air and the highest points' area, but that I did intuitively or automated) .. it will then go where it should, where you want it to. (But this way of aiming is anyway only a minor aspect that I did not pursue). The reason, now, I don't get this mode by default, is, that I have to actively (decide to) do it, switch it ``on´´, else intuition / instinct will let me do the less unstable ("labile"), the more secure way with considerably more controlled wrists' tension and better control of the slower pattern. Without practising that snapping technique a lot and willingly, it is just very hazardous and hard to control. I had the impression, that technique also culminates in a wiggling back 'n forth of the elbow (thus the upper arm upto the shoulder aswell), sustaining the Chi for the precise moment of the snap-up ( Guess, a Shaolin would browse the energy of the ground he's standing on, earth's core itself's energy :o) into that fingers+wrist's snap ;o]) .. )   7b splits - 5min. ( [43] )   Had half forgotten the rhythm .. needed whole 5 min to get a flash (counting not 7 balls, but 8 catches [4322][432][43][43]. ).

#nature: a huge swarm of (caledonian?) crows(? rooks?) was circling between sun and me. A natural disco-effect by their shadows sweeping over the whole meadow. ("Yeah! My disco needs me." O,o )
