7 balls, 5 ball tricks, #PR, 9 balls flashing, #StagesOfLearning, 3 heavy balls, 5 heavy balls, 5 balls, 6 ball tricks, #otu, 230 minutes
#conditions - perfect. Not so warm anymore, windy + some clouds, few or no mosquitos, great form good arms good balls .. jus' gorgeous weather & conditions for juggling.
3b 200gr, freestyle, misc - ~10 min.
5 heavy balls, 200 gr casc - ~5 min.
9b flashing - ~35 min. Two times 7 gathers with 8 g in reach. Six more times 7 g. No 8g, but did upto three re-throws, no matter them being unreasonable .. still a step towards it feeling like juggling (not batter 'em up and save as many as can).
#SoL new flaw / error detected: have been launching with hands too narrow, both throwing from middle, all the time - can and should do notably wider.
Also, the third throw from stronghand, between ringfinger and pinky, (is the one that) tends to slip most - so having an eye on keeping that one well gripped (tight enough) gives more reliable launches and-or less fails.
5b 52567 - ~45 min. Took a good while, until I got into and some results.
Best was, i think 24 catches clean; but it came surprisingly and trying to verify, I checked anything doubtable ( four balls in one hand: check. Stronghand start: couldn't remember for sure, but should have if had done weakhand start, also those don't get that far. Anything else? Wrong hand catch: not that I noticed. Wrong order of throws: not that I noticed. ) and in the end couldn't tell for sure anymore. I think it was #PR 24 c cl, but won't record, cos' I had those queer doubts. I'm not going for peak runs (not even near confirmed), after all, .. I want to get the pattern down and running, so if I can do 24 c cl, I will want it and more than that again!
Furthermore, got 20 c cl; two fifth sides (19 and 20 throws to drops); and nine times 16 c cl.
7b casc - ~125 min. 47, 42, 49, [snackbreak], (5' 5b - 180°), a long uncounted run ~50+ raw estimate, 41, 42 throws runs longer than 40 th. [ dailyLongestRun7b: 49 ]
.. in between, after break, did some 5b all up 180° - ~5 min. Once 3 rethrows (going for "back to cascade"); once 4 c collected (going for "to collect").
5b fastest - ~5 min.
.. and also have #otu been trying just a few attempts on 6b 525[75] these last days getting only a first round or so. http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160830/fks83wsc.gif

Austin - When you say in reach, do you mean that you almost never get a pattern where all the balls could possibly be caught with a bit of luck?
Austin - Because judging from your 7b record I would think you'd be able to get them all thrown in reach- I've had 9 touches many times, and my 7b is worse than yours, and I can barely release 9 Norwiks...
7b_wizard - How many gathers do you get - best and average? With "9 touches many times", should be 8 then?
7b_wizard - [see answer in edit above]
Austin - I see it now, it makes sense. I just assumed in reach meant touchable, not easily catchable. Good luck! I may have to get numbers balls to get the flash though :P
Austin - I get 7-8 a few times usually
Austin - Although I don't work on it much, usually only up to 8b.
7b_wizard - ng-'kay. :o)
